As we pivot to an all-virtual Hammers & Ales event, you may have a few questions
about how to maximize the perks of your ticket.
We have answers!
Q: How do I get my food and brews?
A: The week before the event, we invite you to the ToolBank during specific hours (listed below) so that you can pick up your full party pack. This will include vouchers to participating restaurants, product from local breweries and ToolBank signature swag items. The value of the party pack is nearly 75% of the ticket price!
We are located at 1224 Wicomico Street, Baltimore, MD 21230. We are very close the Ravens Stadium in the Carroll-Camden / Pigtown neighborhood.
You can stop by the ToolBank any time between these hours the week of Hammers & Ales:

If you'd like a friend to grab your party pack for you, just make sure they know the name and email of the person who bought the ticket. If you are joining as a sponsor guest, make sure to reference the name of the sponsor when picking up and we will cross-reference our list.
