Resurrection in bottles? Yes, on Dec. 16
It's about time!
At long last, we will be able to buy the delicious Resurrection Ale in bottles.
Tom Creegan of Brewer's Art (the brew restaurant that makes the scrumptious stuff) sent me an email last week confirming it.
It will be released in a 750 milliliter bottle on Dec. 16.
In other Brewer's Art news, the first tapping of the Saint Festivus holiday ale is tonight. It's ginger spiced brown ale.
Happy holidays!

I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.

This is the end game for hipster alcoholics isn't it?

WHOA WHOA WHOA SAM. You knew about this LAST WEEK and your just telling us now!? What happened to "the scoop"? No wonder Newspapers are going under. How could you hold such vital and life altering information from us? this is front page material!
Yes I realize beer isnt really a scoop. Get off it.

Don, agreed.
Gman, yes, I think there will be a spike in hipster cirrhosis. It's sad, but necessary.
Drunk, I'm working on that part of the equation. For now, revel in the news.
Jim, I've been on my deathbed for the past several days. As much as I love Resurrection, I'm not climbing out of my death bed to write about it. And as for "the scoop," I don't see any other news outlets reporting this. I believe you are reading "the scoop."

GDA, it has in the past. And I can't wait to get my grubby paws on a bottle.

But where will it be sold??? Just at Brewer's Art?

Brewer's will have it as well as a long list of liquor stores... Wine Source, Wells, Grand Cru, Old Vine, Roland Park Liquors, Harford Beverage/Racers, and a bunch of bars too. It's dist. through BOND so you can always ask your local liquor store to order some.
cheers

My prayers have been answered. Been drinkin beer for awhile and one of the best parts about moving to Balt, is REZ. The bar biz in the city just lost some cake. BTW dont have to be hip to enjoy. Cheers.

Where's it being Brewed and is this temporary or will it endure?
Posted by: ELMREZ | November 28, 2008 10:39 PM
ELMREZ I'll post more when I know more, which will probably be next week.

I found bottles at The Loading Dock on Fleet and Boston in canton. $11 for a bottle is too steep if you ask me...
