Joyhound Beer Company is a PREMIUM craft beer brand owned by Maryland's only Black Neuroscientist Brewer, Alfred Rotimi.

Our beer is flavorful and balanced, a seamless blend of science, art, and innovation. Brewed using the finest ingredients and Alfred’s knowledge of biology, chemistry, and psychology, our beers embody the beauty and essence of fermentation. Each batch produced is nothing short of exceptional.

That’s why Alfred’s recipes are Magic Backed by Science.

As a family of scientists, we lean into our science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics backgrounds to create products that illustrate the beauty and utility of STEAM. Hence our tagline, “Premium Craft Beer, for Nerds by Nerds” - trust us, it’s cool to be a nerd!

Why Joyhound?

We chose the name Joyhound because brewing and being his own boss brings Alfred such joy, plus we are a family of dog lovers! Just check out our doggos, Bailey and Stella, on the label of our Tailwagger beer! Our beers are produced in Baltimore, MD. We hold 65+ accounts, including Total Wine & More locations in Maryland, plus many local, independently-owned shops.

Our parents and their parents and their parents have all come from very different cultures and even different countries, but the thing that our various ancestral communities have in common is a deep appreciation for the artistry of beer. Brewing beer has made us further examine our roots and helps us feel more connected to the diverse cultures of our ancestors.”
