Evolution Craft Brewing Company was founded in 2009, when brothers Tom & John Knorr, intrigued with the artistry in beer, decided to take a risk and join forces to start a microbrewery in Delmar, DE. As a small, and relatively new brewer, Evo beer may be hard to find – although not for locals. Evo is available on draft and bottle throughout Maryland, Washington D.C. and Delaware.

Clipper City Brewing Company is Baltimore’s largest brewery, producing over 14 styles of ales and lagers, which are distributed over 18 states. Clipper City has one hundreds of international, national and regional awards, and still remain true to their mission of “bringing back the local brewery.”

Clipper City’s founder, Hugh Sisson, opened Sisson’s brewpub in 1989, and brought craft beer into the Baltimore spotlight. In 1995, he develped Clipper City, in order to take this newfound love for craft beer to the next level.

The “next level” can best be explained by Clipper City’s brand “Heavy Seas.” Heavy Seas is arguably the most recognizable brand among the two, and takes Clipper City’s brews to the extreme front. The beers are bottled conditioned, leaving a small amount of live yeast in order to naturally carbonate the beer and adding subtlety and complexity to each brew.
