The Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood (SPBW) came up with a terrific idea – use the light rail for a bar crawl. I joined 10 beer enthusiasts for visits to Union Craft Brewing, Waverly Brewing, and Brass Tap. Continue reading Baltimore Light Rail Crawl

The Maryland Comptroller, Peter Franchot, and the rest of the Reform on Tap Task Force headed to Salisbury. Their destination (and mine) was Evolution Craft Brewing Co. for a town hall meeting. Continue reading Evolution Craft Brewing
As summer winds down, the beer world gears up for Labor Day, just a warm up for autumn beers. This Labor Day weekend, Hysteria Brewing is planning their reopening. According to their Facebook page, they will be open from 11:00 am – 11:00 pm on Saturday. I see a Trash Panda in my future.
Also, I’ve recently heard from the folks at Crooked Crab Brewing. They hope to open in Anne Arundel County sometime in December.
Once again, I’ve found a few articles that I found interesting. So, take a well-deserved break this weekend and catch up on the beer world.
You know Heineken, the big brewery from Amsterdam purchased Lagunitas. Well, those 2 pot smoking cultures are now putting marijuana in their beer. Read about New Lagunitas Beer is Made with Marijuana – But it Won’t Get You High.
I just had a wonderful beer pairing at Victoria Gastro Pub, Manor Hill’s Citra Splendor with their Duck Fat Fries. This Grilled Cheese and Beer Pairing article explains why salt and beer are so scrumptious.
With such a cool August, I’m ready for a good harvest ale, or maybe a pumpkin. Mark Pasquinelli details Brewing the Perfect Pumpkin Ale.
For those masochistic enough to follow this blog, you know I love Maine Beer Company from my trip to Acadia this summer. JR Shirt reviews Maine Beer Co. and MO in Give Me Some MO (everything).
Cheers!

The Reform on Tap Task Force held their 5th event, this time at the incubator brewery, Peabody Heights Brewery.
It looks like we will have a dry weekend, finally. I plan on tasting a few beers this afternoon with SPBW’s bar crawl. They are making it interesting by using the light rail and starting at Union. I’m sure there’s a blog post in this one.
If you need a break from all your outdoor activities, take a break and peruse these articles about beer I’ve found for you.
Liz Murphy’s Naptown Pint gives a great prep for Reform on Tap Task Force.
Liz is not the only women in the beer world. Read about Pink Boots Society hosts Philly symposium to battle sexism in the beer industry. Also, Austin just got Two Female Brewery Owners to Bring Brewing downtown.
You may have read that Millennials are killing craft beer. The Motley Fool explains it’s all a vicious rumor.
This Austrian brewery has a unique use of beer – Take a Dip … in a Beer Pool.

SPBW or the Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood was meeting at the Ale House Columbia. SPBW is for members that like to drink cask beer, and the Ale House offered a few for us. Continue reading SPBW at the Ale House
Frisco Tap House, Columbia, MD
It’s only logical. Once you drink 99 unique craft beers, most at a world-class level, your 100th should be a Natty Boh chugged from a bottle. It was Lagunitas pint night at Frisco Tap House and Laura was reaching mug club status. Continue reading Lagunitas, Mug Club and Mr Trash Wheel
On Wednesday, August 16th, the Reform on Tap Task Force will hold a town hall meeting at Evolution Brewing Co. at 5:00 PM. Below are my thoughts for the Task Force. Continue reading Comments for Reform on Tap Task Force
Really, another rainy weekend? I’m happy because my tomatoes seem to like it but it is starting to get old. I feel like I’m back in Maine. Maryland in August is supposed to be hot and dry. Well, it’s still the weekend. Make a little “me” time. Crack open a beer or slice a tomato and enjoy these hand-picked articles about beer, just for you. Continue reading Reading Rainy Weekend
