More news on Baltimore Beer Week
I am on the committee planning Baltimore Beer Week, Oct. 8 to 18. Here are the latest developments.
Ten days of celebration will begin with a VIP opening tap event on the Constellation in the Inner Harbor on Oct. 8. Specific information and a limited number of tickets will soon be available on the Baltimore Beer Week Web site.
After the initial cask has been tapped on the ship, beer will flow at a number of beer dinners and tastings held throughout the Baltimore area, according to Joe Gold, the week's chief organizer. A detailed list will appear on the site, he said.
In other developments:
* Clipper City Brewing Co. will serve as the flagship sponsor of Baltimore Beer Week, and Flying Dog Brewing Co. has become a gold sponsor of the week.
*Sponsorships, starting at $50, are available for anyone interested in being a part of the inaugural Baltimore Beer Week event, Gold said. (Contact info@baltimorebeerweek.com for more information.)
* The Brewers Association of Maryland Oktoberfest will take place during Baltimore Beer Week on Oct. 10 at the Timonium Fairgrounds. Details here.
* The Chesapeake Real Ale Festival put on by the Society for Preservation of Beers from the Wood will take place during Baltimore Beer Week on Oct. 17 at the Pratt Street Ale House. Details here.
*An embellished Baltimore Beer Week Web site is scheduled to go live next week. To get on the e-mail list and to receive Facebook and Twitter updates, visit the beer week's Web site.
