Where to get it

Around Annapolis and nearby towns.

  • At the taproom
  • Cans to go
  • Bottle shops

Most of the beer is poured on draft at the Eastport taproom. Forward also packages cans for Maryland liquor stores, and collaboration releases have gone to beer shops in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County. The 2026 move to the Millersville production plant was made to allow more canning and distribution.
