The Brewers Association of Maryland (BAM) is a 501(c)6 nonprofit trade association that represents and supports Maryland's independent craft breweries. Since 1996, BAM has worked to strengthen the state's brewing industry by bringing breweries together and advocating on their behalf in Annapolis and Washington, D.C. The association also promotes Maryland craft beer to consumers through events, tourism partnerships, and public awareness campaigns that highlight the quality and diversity of breweries throughout the state.
