Co-owner, James Boicourt, began keeping bees in college. After taking graduate-level entomology classes, and through the excess of honey, he started to translate his home brewing hobby into the amateur crafting of honey-based spirits and beverages.<\/p>\n<p>After college, his love for all things aquatic led him to a job at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, where he met fellow brew enthusiast and future co-owner, Andrew Geffken. As they dreamed and schemed of investing in a new business, mead grew from an annual Viking party (that was the talk of the town) to a full-fledged business, in an attempt to show the world that the oldest alcoholic beverage in history is still relevant, and more importantly, still just as delicious.<\/p>\n<p>Abandoning the big paychecks of their steady engineering and sustainability jobs to work a lot more for a lot less, but having a great time doing it, James and Andrew launched Baltimore City&#8217;s only meadery in early 2014. Housed in an otherwise industrial area in Curtis Bay, the modest Charm City Meadworks is a deceptively small operation (given the prominence of their mead around town) in what can only be described as a garage, but in a charming, hanging-out-with-your-buddies kind of way. Inside, you\u2019ll find a small tasting table with the friendliest of regulars and volunteer pourers with draft and bottle varieties of meads that are available for tastings, by-the-glass-pours and purchases. Join us as we settle in on stools aside the 300-gallon fermenters to taste test our way through both their draft and bottled varieties, and discover why Charm City and the nectar of the gods are a match made in heaven.<\/p>\n<h6>Address<\/h6>\n<p>400 E Biddle St<br \/>\nBaltimore, MD 21202<\/p>\n<h6>Website<\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/charmcitymeadworks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"button-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.citybrewtours.com\/baltimore\/tours\/sip-of-baltimore-tour\/\" class=\"button button-light\" target=\"\">Book Now<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charm City Meadworks was born out of a love of adventure and learning.
