Two beer events on the horizon

This is probably preaching to the converted, but there are two big beer events on the horizon. Tomorrow, Oct. 20, the Brewers Association of Maryland will put on its 6th annual Oktoberfest celebration at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium from noon until 8 p.m. Beers from 12 local breweries will be served. Tickets are $20 at the door.

The following Saturday, Oct. 27, the 4th Annual Chesapeake Real Ale Festival will be held from 1-6 p.m. at the Wharf Rat at Camden Yards, 206 W. Pratt St. Tickets are $35 at the door, $25 in advance, and can be ordered here. Dominic Cantalupo, president of the Chesapeake Bay branch of the Society for Preservation of Beers From the Wood, says approximately 22 breweries and about 30 firkins of real ale will be there. Nice time of year to be a beer drinker.

We will be there with bells on tomorrow and thanks for thew plug for the 27th. If you love beer, this is one event you don't want to miss. The $25 advance ticket includes unlimited sampling for 5 hours. We will do $5 growler fills towards the end of the fest. You can bring your own growler.
