Great beer weekend

Looks like an excellent weekend to raise a stein.

There are a billion or tastings as taverns and restaurants offer deals and special beers for Baltimore Beer Week.

Clicking on the events section of the beer week web site and checking out Friday night, I saw 35 events, everything from 3 beers for $5 at the Wharf Rat, to an imports tasting at State Line Liquors, to a Flying Dog tasting at The Wine Source, to .40 cent shrimp night at Duda's where 60 cents of every bottle of Defenders Choice goes to a fund for wounded soldiers.

Then Saturday there is the BAM Oktoberfest in Timonium.Think no rain.

Do be careful out there. If you have had a few, grab a cab, or take the Light Rail.

The following weekend, there is the Chesapeake Real Ale Fest, at the Pratt Street Ale House. It too is near a Light Rail stop.

What are you beer plans for the weekend?

I recommend checking out the 'Hoptoberfest' at Muggsy's Mug House in Federal Hill. They have a great selection of IPAs on tap.

Already had plans to be out of Baltimore for the weekend so made do with a tour of the Yazoo Brewery in Nashville on Saturday and plans to go to the 12th Street Taproom on Sunday afternoon. Hope to catch BBW events on return to Charm City this week.
