Hey DC area friends, beer lovers, and fellow charity supporters! Looking for a fantastic reason to visit some great local breweries this April? Get ready for “Brewing for Wishes”!

April is World Wish Month, and three awesome Maryland breweries – all an easy trip from DC – are teaming up with Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic for a special fundraiser.

  • What: Each brewery created a unique “Brewing for Wishes” craft beer available all April long.
  • Why: For every one of these special beers sold (priced $8-$10), $2 goes directly to Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic to grant life-changing wishes for local children with critical illnesses!
