Art and Collectibles Expo

Art and Collectibles Expo

The Art and Collectibles Expo features comics, original art, toys, and tabletop games. This is formally known as C.A.T. Fest. We had to rename it because, no lie, people were calling the brewery asking about "the cat show" and if they could bring their cat.

Convulsionistas present: My Mother the Gnole

a 30 minute crankie show with live music, a brand new performance of “Low-Fi Cinematic Ritual Music and Scrolling Art Show”

This is the first ever 3rd party compatible crankie based on Stockholm Kartell’s award winning rules lite TTRPG Mörk Borg Set in the “Dying World”, a fictional 1100’s Scandinavia, an Esoteric Hermit, Heretical Priest, Fanged Deserter and Gutterborn Scum find themselves involved in a plot to kill the reclusive Queen Mother, in Her Dark Fort. Things get worse (they can always get worse!)

My Mother the Gnole is equal parts horror and humor, mixing Tom and Jerry levels of violence with occult themes and political intrigue.

Absolutely NOT for children.

Music composed and performed by Vicar Dave Hahn and Darren Michael Hess

Peabody Heights Brewery

Terrapin Park, or Oriole Park V, was home to the Federal League Baltimore Terrapins (1914-1915), International League Orioles (1916-1944), and part-time for the Negro National League Baltimore Elite Giants (1939-1942). Located at Greenmount Avenue and 29th Street, opposite Oriole Park II and IV, it featured a layout with first base on East 29th Street, right field on Greenmount Avenue, left field on East 30th Street, and third base on Vineyard Lane. Today, the site is occupied by row houses, Barclay Elementary School, and Peabody Heights Brewery. In 2015, the brewery pinpointed the former home plate location with the help of the original survey company. The taproom now stands on the former left field, close to where the pitcher’s mound was, next to the south-facing wall of the former Royal Crown bottling plant, now part of the brewery.
