Rare & Obscure 2026

About this event

If you like your craft beer hard to find, impossible to replace, and just a little weird, mark your calendar. Max’s Taphouse Rare & Obscure Festival returns to Fells Point October 16 - 18, 2026, bringing three days of unusual, limited, and downright fascinating beers to Baltimore. Taphouse doors open at 11:30 a.m. each day, with the festival free and open to guests 21+. Preview of draft list as of 9/29 (and yes, this is really early - they're just starting to come in and we are too pumped to gate keep): Birrificio Italiano/De La Senne/Firestone Walker/Privite Landbrauerei Schonram/Bad Seed/Verdant Brewing Sorriso Brut Lager Firestone Walker 29th Anniversary Firestone Walker 2025 Primal Elements Raspberry Blueberry Founders KBS 2022 Harviestoun Old Engine Oil Liefmans Gluhkriek (Serve Hot) Other Half/Burial Beer Co.
