New beers in area restaurants
New beers will flow at some area restaurants next week.
On Wednesday, the Buffalo Wild Wings in Westminster (404 Englar Road) will tap Juggernaught Porter, the beer that won this year's competition among Maryland home brewers. Created by home brewer Aaron Herman, the recipe for Juggernaught Porter has been handed over to DOG Brewing in Westminster, which is making it available at all Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in the state. The ceremonial tapping, set for 8 p.m. at the Westminster restaurant, will also honor other home brew winners.
Meanwhile down in Annapolis. Gordon Biersch is opening a new restaurant and brewery in the Town Centre at Parole. The Biersch group got started in Palo Alto, Calif. in 1988, and has a restaurant/brewery in Rockville as well as others in a number of states.
The Annapolis location at 1906 Towne Centre Blvd., which officially opens Monday, will brew and serve four lagers: Golden Export, Hefeweizen, Czech Lager, Märzen and Schwarzbier and one ale, a Hefeweizen.
Anyone taste these beers -- either the Maryland home brews, or the California lagers?
On the spinning bottle front, I drained a bottle of Sierra Nevada Harvest, a "wet hop" ale, then gave it a spin. It predicted a Raven win over Houston this weekend. Very hoppy stuff; we shall see if it makes Ravens fans happy.
Comments
I attended a soft opening at Gordon Biersch yesterday. I have to say, the beer wasn't much, and the food was only OK.
If I'm looking for beer in Annapolis, I'd still head to Rams Head.

On a side note, it appears that Germano's in Little Italy has an assortment of Belgians. Personally, I like the great food (and great beer availability) at Jack's in Canton.
I'll try to hit up BWW, I didn't know they had one in Westminister.
