How We Execute Our Mission

St. Mary’s Liquid Assets is a producer-led alliance strengthening and growing the craft beverage industry in St. Mary’s County through coordinated action, strategic partnerships, and collective advocacy.

We are more than a promotional group. We are a working network creating the infrastructure for long-term success.

Collaboration in Action

We design multi-producer events that showcase the full range of local craft beverages, from wineries and breweries to distilleries and emerging producers.

These experiences are built to:

• Highlight product diversity in one setting

• Introduce customers to multiple local brands

• Generate shared marketing momentum

• Position St. Mary’s County as a craft beverage destination

Every producer is invited. Every category is represented. The result is broader reach and greater impact for all.

Collective Legislative Advocacy

We work collaboratively to support policies that strengthen small beverage businesses and value-added agriculture in St. Mary’s County.

Our approach includes:

• Coordinated engagement on local and state legislation

• Unified communication with policymakers

• Strategic advocacy that supports growth, flexibility, and long-term sustainability

By speaking with one voice, we amplify the influence of individual producers.

Strategic Business Development

In collaboration with the St. Mary’s County Department of Economic Development and Visit St. Mary’s, we maintain direct engagement with local business resource partners.

This includes:

• Quarterly meetings bringing producers and resource partners together

• Alignment with tourism and economic development strategy

• Support for wholesale relationship building

• Efforts to increase local product presence in retail and restaurants

Producers operate within a connected ecosystem, not in isolation.

By the Numbers

Our collaborative model produces measurable results.

• Multi-producer events drawing hundreds of attendees

• Increased tasting room traffic through shared marketing efforts

• Growth in wholesale account relationships across producers

• Coordinated legislative engagement at the county and state level

• Ongoing quarterly strategy sessions with economic development and tourism leaders

We focus on action, alignment, and outcomes.
