Baltimore Beer Week begins today
Suds lovers unite! The first (and hopefully annual) Baltimore Beer Week kicks off with a cask-tapping by Boog Powell himself tonight in the Inner Harbor.
All in all, the organizers did a fantastic job organizing hundreds of events over the course of 10 days to celebrate all kinds of ales, lagers and the like.
The Web site with all the info is right here.
Happy Drinker Rob Kasper is all over Baltimore Beer Week. So is b writer Michael Cook.

So what events / tastings are people going to get out and see? Troegs, Weyerbacher, and Stone caught my eye at Max's (next week; Troegs and Weyerbacher are Monday, Stone is Thursday) as well as Dogfish Head at Koopers (next Thursday).
I'm also really impressed at how far reaching this; even State Line liquor is getting in on the action.
