GET READY TO SIP, SHUCK & EXPLORE THIS FEBREWARY AND MARCH!
If you are a restaurant, brewery, or event that is interested in being a part of the campaign, please email [email protected] or [email protected].
Join us in FeBREWary and March as we celebrate locally made beer, wine and spirits paired with locally harvested Maryland oysters and outdoor recreational activities! We’ve put together a list of drink and oyster pairings for you to enjoy that you can find at restaurants, breweries, wineries, cideries, distilleries, and events across the state during Maryland Beer Month (February) and Maryland Wine Month (March). Additionally, we partnered with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and near every participating location, is also a suggested outdoor recreational experience you can enjoy! Track all your adventures using the web-based app Bandwango and sip, shuck, and explore everything available! With every check in, points will be earned which will lead to unique stickers and an entry into a grand prize sweepstakes – a guided boat tour with a Maryland-themed dinner and lodging for two.

HOW DO THE POINTS WORK?
For the most part, every location will earn you 10 points. BUT, be on the lookout as some locations and events may be worth more! You only need to visit two locations (one restaurant + one outdoor activity or one event + one outdoor activity) to get a free collectible sticker OR one entry into our sweepstakes. Every time you earn 20 points, you can earn additional sweepstakes entries. One random winner will win a guided boat tour with a Maryland-themed dinner and lodging for two!
