Great Beers. Lame way to list them. You can't even read the list. It looks like gibberish. Ever heard of a COLUMN??

9 bucks for one beer!?

Yes Steve. It's not a Miller Lite.

Ye Gods! Three days! Where to start? Or more important, where to stop?

Come early and stay late! Well definitely come early because the place will fill up fast! We always go with a group and take turns buying big bottles to share. I am looking foward to the Brewers Art Proletary on cask!

This is one of the biggest beer events in Baltimore and ranks nationally and Kaspar is out of the country. What is going on? In my haze I think I saw a blogger for a beer magazine on site. The Sun should have done something similar. An event of this magnitude (for beer lovers) deserves it
