Maryland’s National Premium – discontinued in 1996, is officially being brewed again. In Delaware. For now. Tim Miller, a realtor, bought the rights to the brand in 2010 for less than $100 Grand. Apparently he tracked down the original recipe. Fordham Brewing Company is doing the test batches for Miller (the realtor) but hasn’t made any long term commitments for the brewing process. Rumor has it, it could be in stores by March, 2012 in Baltimore. [BaltimoreSun]
