We strive to produce fresh, innovative, and adventurous beers. We aspire to embrace the local history and culture of Baltimore in each beverage that we produce.

Overlooking Baltimore’s Patapsco River, Ampersea offers a waterfront dining experience to remember. In the kitchen, the Ampersea culinary team will be putting a modern spin on Maryland classics using seasonal ingredients from mid-Atlantic purveyors alongside herbs and lettuces grown in the Living Classrooms Greenhouse. From its location on the edge of the Baltimore waterfront to the convivial nature of the dining space and the integration of the restaurant’s work with Living Classrooms, the Ampersea team desires to permeate their guest’s experience with a connection to the water, the land, and the community of Baltimore and Maryland.
Ampersea will host dinner on Nov. 2 and is just downstairs from our meeting rooms.
