We are excited to announce the widely popular C&O Canal Libations Trail will carry on in 2023! Featuring craft breweries located in or nearby the ten Canal Towns, the popular trail was developed in a joint effort involving Allegany, Montgomery, Frederick, and Washington county tourism bureaus, Visit Maryland, C&O Canal Trust, and the Canal Towns Partnership as part of the C&O Canal National Historical Park’s 50th anniversary year long celebration in 2021.
The trail launched in February of 2021 during Visit Maryland’s FeBREWary official month-long celebration of craft beer. Many participating breweries are continuing to offer canal-themed beers at various times throughout 2023 and all will be busy creating a variety of new and exciting brews attracting new visitors to the Canal Towns.
The C&O Libations Trail can be viewed on the C&O Canal Trust website and will be promoted through various social media channels throughout the year.
