About
Denizens Brewing Co. is the only majority women- and LGBT-owned brewery in Maryland, run by wife-and-wife duo Emily Bruno and Julie Verratti alongside Jeff Ramirez. Their tagline says it clearly: "Beers for queers." The two-level taproom pours 10 rotating taps with rotating craft beers, sours, and hard seltzers. A 200-seat beer garden out back is dog-friendly and welcoming to the local queer community, plus the brewery donates to LGBTQ+ organizations.
Food is made-for-beer fare with burgers and American staples. Happy hour runs some weekdays, and the crowd tends toward 30s and 40s locals. Note that Yelp lists this venue as possibly permanently closed — confirm before heading out.
