It all started with a conversation in 2012 around the holiday dinner table.
Founders Emily, Jeff, and Julie were drinking delicious beer made by Jeff, who had brought it back east from his brewery in Colorado.
In less than a year, we founded Denizens Brewing Co., signed our first lease, and kicked down the doors of being the first production brewery in Montgomery County, Maryland. In the process, we pioneered an entirely new business model that changed and expanded the local landscape for craft beer. Now, you can find local craft beer in more places because of our advocacy in 2013.
From day one, we have been leaders in the craft industry and have served on national, state, and local trade boards and chambers.
In business for over a decade, we have grown from a handful of brands to more than 200 beers. And out in the world, we’ve gone from a couple of tap handles and a few cans on the shelf to more than 1,500 locations where you can find our beer across Maryland, Virginia, and DC.
In 2019, we expanded to a larger production facility in Riverdale Park, which we call home today. During that growth period, we added a full-scale product and raw material scientific testing lab to make sure our quality assurance and control program kept everything fresh for our customers.
Whether you drink Denizens beer in our taproom, Nats Park, your neighborhood bar, or grab a six-pack from the local store - we’re 100% invested in bringing you the best craft beer.
You can always count on us to host festivals, trivia, live music, and more. And when it comes to helping you throw a party - we’re experts. Our taproom walls have seen hundreds of celebrations, including graduations, baby showers, anniversaries, birthdays, and retirements, plus many other milestones.
We’re proud to continue bringing together a family of beer fanatics, regular customers, a dedicated team, and local partners and deepen our roots in the DMV community.
We can’t wait to see you in our taproom soon—and remember, you will always have a seat at our table.
Cheers!
Emily, Jeff, and Julie
