I picked a heatwave to harvest potatoes – big mistake. I kind of overdid it. As a result, I canceled all the rest of my outdoor activities this weekend, stayed inside and vegged in the A/C. But I did find a few cool, refreshing craft beer reads to mull over.

The Baltimore Sun, Natty Boh beer not being sold at Camden Yards, future uncertain. No Natty Boh at the ballpark, say it ain’t so.

The Baltimore Sun, Jimmy’s Famous Seafood launches PETA Tears beer, nearly a year after billboard feud. It looks like Jimmy’s Famous Seafood has discovered a comical way to improve lager beer sales.

The Baltimore Sun, Happy Birthday, Mr. Trash Wheel: Inner Harbor trash collector to celebrate 5th birthday with party, new beer. A salty gose seems the perfect birthday beer for Mr. Trash Wheel.

VinePair, DuClaw Reverts Back To Simplicity With Its New ‘Regular Beer’. It seems DuClaw used up all their creativity with Unicorn Farts.

UPROXX, What Are ‘Oenobeers’ And Which Ones Should You Try? Try Sapwood Cellars’ The Big Lambrusco. It’s 9% ABV, made from red Lambrusco grape juice and deliciously fruity.

The Baltimore Sun, Should Maryland grocery stores sell beer? I have to agree with Comptroller Franchot, keeping beer out of grocery stores protects our small, independent liquor stores. There’s something I find endlessly amusing about visiting a package good store and talking beer with the staff.

DC Beer, 10 Beers for 10 Years: Sapwood Cellars… DC Beer and Sapwood Cellars joined forces to make 3.8 Special, a surprisingly flavorful session IPA.

Cheers!
