Hold onto your hops, because we've got some fantastic news brewing here at Liquid Intrusion Brewing Company! Our very own Drew has been making waves in the industry, participating in not one, but two prestigious programs that are set to take our brewery to new heights. Brewers Association Mentorship Program
First up, Drew was handpicked for the Spring 2024 cohort of the Brewers Association (BA) Mentorship Program. This cohort is the biggest yet, with 35 members and the largest number of brewery start-ups. Over 12 action-packed weeks, Drew worked with three top-notch mentors, soaking up knowledge and gaining fresh perspectives crucial for our growth. Reflecting on this whirlwind experience, Drew said, "Being part of the BA Mentorship Program was like getting a golden ticket to the brewery brain trust. It's amazing to see how the program supports aspiring pros and start-ups, fostering a community where innovation flows as freely as our finest liquids."
Seed Spot Impact Accelerator
But that's not all! Drew has also been selected for the Seed Spot Impact Accelerator, a local program right here in Prince George's County. This 4-week sprint, brought to life by PGCEDC and SEED SPOT, is designed to supercharge underrepresented entrepreneurs. It’s like a boot camp for business brilliance, complete with personalized coaching, industry-specific mentorship, and a curriculum that’s as tight as our best batch of beer. As Prince George’s County's first black-owned brewery, this local support is incredibly valuable to us and our community.

Celebrating Juneteenth with Iron Simms: A Special Collaboration Liquid
We released a special collaboration liquid for Juneteenth: Iron Simms - a peach chamomile Saison clocking in at 6.5% ABV! This unique liquid is crafted by an incredible group of local and Black-owned breweries, including Liquid Intrusion Brewing, Joyhound Beer Company, Black Viking Brewing, Black Beauty Brewing, Soul Mega, Urban Garden, Black Brew Movement, and Bitter Fruit Brewing.
Iron Simms pays tribute to Mr. Henry Simms, a trailblazer who won his freedom and became one of the first Black business owners in Herndon, VA. Raise a glass and join us in honoring his legacy!

| | Fresh off the canning line! We had a legendary time packaging this liquid. A special shoutout to Art & Ale for the can art. |
|
| | What an amazing honor it was to be hand selected to represent all Black-owned breweries across the country for a private tasting at Total Wine & More Headquarters for their Juneteenth event.
The memo was never sent, but the assignment was understood! The legend himself E-40 was in the house sampling all of his Earl Stevens Selections products while rocking the orange! Truly an amazing Juneteenth to sample out some legendary DMV liquid. |

| | Fresh out of the tap! We want to also thank Dynasty Brewing Company in Ashburn, VA for being LEGENDARY hosts for our collaboration! |

Autumn Arch Beer Project Autumn Arch Beer Project is a small-batch, experimental brewery in Newark, Delaware specializing in deep flavor profiles, edgy bitterness, and complex relationships. In December, we collaborated on a Peach Bourbon Barrel Stout that has been aging in a 15-year-old George Dickle Barrel set to release around Black Friday. This liquid should be ringing in around 12% ABV with legendary complex flavors. This liquid is 1 of 5 collaborations that Autumn Arch is doing this year to celebrate their 5th anniversary. This liquid will be available for purchase at Autumn Arch Beer Project, and possibly on draft at select accounts in Maryland.
You never know when another collaboration is in the works, but we will surely let you know the deets!

Announcing Our Capital Raise for a Brick-and-Mortar Location! As a black-owned brewery, we have faced unique challenges and triumphs. One significant hurdle has been navigating the complexities of contract brewing. We are very appreciative of the services that our contract brewery provides us. That relationship has allowed us to bring our unique and flavorful liquids to you, it also comes with limitations on production control and scalability with the volume that we want to produce. Today, we are excited to announce a legendary big step in our journey: we are embarking on a capital raise to establish our very own brick-and-mortar location right here in Prince George’s County, MD! At this time, we are actively seeking private investors to join us in making this dream a reality. For more information, please complete the Google form. Why Prince George’s County? As Prince George’s County’s first black-owned brewery, choosing Prince George’s County for our permanent home was an easy decision. This vibrant and diverse community is one of the most affluent African American counties in the United States, and it has always been a cornerstone of our success. The county’s rich culture and strong support for local businesses make it the perfect environment for us to grow and thrive. With a brick-and-mortar location, we will have the opportunity to create a welcoming space for craft beer enthusiasts to gather and enjoy our liquid and vibe. The Benefits of Our Own Space: Enhanced Quality Control: Owning our facility will allow us to have complete control over our brewing process, ensuring the highest quality and consistency in every batch. Increased Production Capacity: We’ll be able to scale up our operations to meet the growing demand for our liquids (did someone say Plum Basil Farmhouse Ale?) Community Hub: Our legendary location will be more than just a brewery; it will be a community hub where we can host events, tastings, and gatherings that celebrate culture. Economic Impact: By investing in Prince George’s County, we are contributing to the local economy, creating jobs, and supporting other prominent and giving a platform to start-up local black-owned businesses.
We are incredibly excited about this next chapter and the endless possibilities it holds. As we embark on this capital-raising journey, we invite private investors to join us. Your support has been invaluable, and we look forward to sharing this dream with you every step of the way. |
