Since the mid-’90s, The Brewer’s Art has combined its Belgian-style beers with inventive fare.
It’s been 17 years since an unlikely trio—a Johns Hopkins grad student, a librarian, and a restaurant worker—opened what seemed at the time a fairly risky venture: a bar and restaurant with an on-site brewery. Their goal was to introduce Baltimore to the Belgian-style beers and ales they loved, as well as create a dining spot worthy of their quality. In fact, The Brewer’s Art would house two bars, a catacomb-like rathskeller downstairs for local hipsters and a sophisticated, upscale venue upstairs for, well, anyone in search of good food and drink.
