  ## History
  
  Peabody Heights is located on the site of the Old Oriole Park V (1914-1944) and was the home of the Baltimore Orioles minor league team. A section of the original stadium still remains though it was mostly destroyed by a fire in 1944. Old Oriole Park uses an image from the era which was the subject of a lawsuit. Prior to being a brewery the site was used as a bottling plant for Beverage Capital which produced Snapple.
  
  Peabody Heights Brewery was founded by Stephen Demczuk and business partners in 2012. He sold his ownership to Richard O'Keefe in 2014 and in 2017 moved his brand, RavenBeer, to a larger bottling facility in Rosedale.
