Denizens Brewing Company

History

Denizens Brewing Company opened in July 2014 in the heart of downtown Silver Spring, MD with the mission to bring fresh, local craft beer to the denizens of the region. Owners Emily Bruno, Jeff Ramirez, and Julie Verratti launched Denizens Brewing Co to bring the camaraderie of the brewery taproom to the DMV. Emily and Julie - locals and recovering office dwellers - joined forces with their brother-in-law Jeff, a veteran of the CO and PA beer scenes, to create a space where anyone could pull up a chair, grab a pint, and enjoy. Owned and founded by Emily Bruno, Jeff Ramirez, and Julie Verratti, Denizens is the only majority women- and LGBT- owned and operated brewery in Maryland and a proud member of the Silver Spring community.
