New Year’s Eve in Berlin, MD is typically celebrated with all the traditions one might expect from a small town New Year’s Eve party: community members coming together for food vendors, music, champagne and the ball drop at midnight.

Sharing beer ideas at 3rd Wave

3rd Wave homebrew

It has been something of a tradition at 3rd Wave brewing to hold a homebrew competition and to brew the winners beer as part of the prize. This year, for the second time in a row, the prize went to Salisbury homebrewer Ryan Psolka. Last year, Psolka won with a Razzle Dazzle raspberry sour ale […]
