August 14–16, 2026
If you love IPA, craft beer, and seriously hoppy beers, join us for Hopfest 2026 at Max’s Taphouse in Baltimore. Taking place Friday, August 14th through Sunday, August 16th, this annual Baltimore beer festival brings together more than 50 specialty kegs of IPAs, Double IPAs, and Triple IPAs for one unforgettable weekend in historic Fells Point.
We have an incredible lineup of hop-forward craft beers, including hazy and juicy New England IPAs, crisp West Coast IPAs, Double IPAs, Triple IPAs, and intensely bitter hop bombs from breweries near and far.
Whether you’re a dedicated hophead searching for rare IPA releases or simply looking for one of the best things to do in Baltimore this weekend, Hopfest is a can’t-miss celebration of craft beer.
