🍺 End of an Era: Katcef Brothers Sold After 93 Years
Restaurant · 2404 A and Eagle, Annapolis, MD 21401 · Acquired and rebranded in May 2026
A piece of Annapolis history changed hands this spring. Katcef Brothers, the beverage distributor founded in 1933, right after Prohibition ended, has been acquired by Mitchell Companies and folded into their Chesapeake Beverage brand, along with sister companies Montgomery Eagle and Capital Eagle. It's the first time the business has been outside Katcef family ownership since Samuel J. Katcef started it nearly a century ago. The company's roots run deep locally: it started in downtown Annapolis, moved to Parole in 1952, then settled off Defense Highway in 1979, where it's operated ever since, long known as the region's go-to distributor for Anheuser-Busch products, craft beer, wine, and spirits. Under Chesapeake Beverage, the business expands its reach into bars, retailers, and major venues across Annapolis, Montgomery County, and D.C.

Arundel Mills has a new way to spend a rainy Saturday. Great Big Game Show officially opened June 3 in Space 401, right next to Dave & Buster's, bringing a 60-minute, live-hosted "game show" experience to Hanover.
