On Saturday, September 20, 2025, Burley Oak Brewing Company in Berlin, MD will host Buds & Brews — a first-of-its-kind curated event that blends the artistry of craft beer with the evolving culture of cannabis. This private, ticketed experience highlights something much bigger than just drinks and demos: it celebrates local partnerships, community connection, and breaking down outdated stigmas.
At the heart of Buds & Brews is the collaboration between Burley Oak (www.burleyoak.com) and Positive Energy (www.positiveenergyoc.com), a locally owned, women-owned dispensary based in West Ocean City. Positive Energy has long been a leader in making cannabis approachable, responsible, and community-minded. By teaming up with Burley Oak, the event underscores a shared commitment: showcasing local businesses that bring people together while helping them live life more fully.

For $30, attendees will enjoy:
A six-beer tasting flight crafted for the occasion
A live glass blowing demonstration
An exclusive behind-the-scenes brewery tour
Take-home keepsakes, including a commemorative glass and tote bag
To sweeten the experience, ticket holders can also stop by Positive Energy before the event to grab deeply discounted curated pre-roll packs from Sunmed Growers, available only with proof of purchase. It’s a perfect way to extend the celebration of local craft — from hops to flower.
One of the most powerful messages behind Buds & Brews is that choosing to consume cannabis should be no different than choosing to enjoy a pint of craft beer. Cannabis is a lifestyle-friendly choice that helps many people unwind, connect, and live more fully — whether that’s enhancing a creative moment, making social experiences more enjoyable, or simply adding balance to a busy life.
Events like this help chip away at lingering stigma by showing cannabis in a respectful, normalized light. It’s not about stereotypes — it’s about real people, right here on the Shore, choosing what works best for their lives.
