Two lawyers walk into a taproom
Havre de Grace’s Market Street Brewery is a passion project for Harford attorneys
Bill Bolton and Andy Chabalowski work a day job together, and
now they have a joint nights-and-weekends gig too.
Bolton and Chabalowski are both attorneys at Bolton’s family
law practice in Aberdeen. As of November, they are also the
co-owners of Market Street Brewery, a new craft brewery and
taproom in Havre de Grace.
So how did two lawyers get involved in the brewing industry?
“I think that we both like practicing law and this has been a
fun entrepreneurial enterprise that fills up the extra hours of the
week,” Bolton said. (“Spoken like a true workaholic,” Chabalowski
added.)
The idea was inspired by Chabalowski’s own background with
beer. Growing up, his father was a home brewer with a love for
German beers. Chabalowski caught the bug, too, and began to
dabble in home-brewing himself.
At Market Street, the tap list goes beyond German brews. The
beer selection runs the spectrum of light to dark, from blonde
ales and shandies to imperial stouts. Brewmaster Brad Poulin
