Jon Cetrano, Mark Burke, and Sam Costner are the three individuals behind Streetcar 82 Brewing Co., all graduates of Gallaudet University who had initially left the D.C. area after college but eventually found themselves returning to the city at different stages of their careers, each with a newfound desire for something more. Jon and Mark, experienced home brewers with a passion for crafting and enjoying great beer, joined forces with Sam, a bourbon enthusiast who had mastered the art of brewing. One night, as they gathered to share their home-brewed creations, the trio had an epiphany – they could turn their passion into a profession. The following morning, their decision to pursue this dream became a reality. Two years later, Streetcar 82 Brewing Co. officially opened its doors in a converted auto garage located at 4824 Rhode Island Ave in Hyattsville, MD. With a shared vision to create something special and a commitment to serving the community, Jon, Mark, and Sam embarked on their journey to bring their unique craft beers to the world.

Opened in 2008, our Wallingford shop is on 45th Avenue between Woodlawn and Densmore. It’s our original shop, where Molly herself made the first batch of Molly Moon’s ice cream in 2008. All of the ice cream we scoop in Wallingford is made right in the back of our shop, and out front is one of Seattle’s original parklets, which we built for public use, with or without a scoop of ice cream in hand. Swing seats and a mini hill encourage playfulness and lounging.
