A fine looking mallet

Here is the mallet, crafted by John Gasparine , that Boog Powell will use to tap the cask that will start Baltimore Beer Week Thursday evening aboard the USS Constellation.

As yet the mallet is not named.

Thanks for all the great suggested mallet names sent in by readers.

The name will be revealed and the spray will fly Thursday night when Boog connects.

Plenty of other events in the 10 day celebration. Check out the Web site.

Does this mallet looks like it could double as a crab hammer for someone as big as Boog?

Chw, perhaps I can interest you in a Flying Dog product later in the evening ;)

(I have no ties to Flying Dog, except for being a fan of most of their beers... along with tons of other quality craft brews)

If you can find me, I'll drink it if it's there.
