The Reform on Tap Task Force held their 5th event, this time at the incubator brewery, Peabody Heights Brewery.
Weekend Beer Reads
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.
Cheers!

Lagunitas, Mug Club and Mr Trash Wheel
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

Reading Rainy Weekend
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
Brewers Alley
MD Brewery Challenge #22
Frederick, MD
On a cool August day in Maryland (is that even possible?), I spent my lunch in Brewer’s Alley. I parked in downtown Frederick and walked to the brewery, finding a seat outside. My seemingly impossible goal of visiting 57 Maryland breweries this year is just a little closer. Continue reading Brewers Alley
HoCo Breweries
Inspired by HowChow’s post about breweries in Howard County, I’m writing today about the HoCo breweries. There are 7 breweries in Howard County that make beer in the county: Ellicott Mills, Bare Bones, Manor Hill, Push (Frisco Tap House’s brewery), Black Flag, Hysteria, and Jailbreak. Continue reading HoCo Breweries
Falling Branch Brewery
MD Brewery Challenge #21
Street, MD
Waze sang, “In a quarter-mile, turn le-eft.” in a breathy, boy band voice. Laura had selected the comical, boy band voice option for our long drive to my 21st brewery of the year, Falling Branch Brewery in Street, MD. Continue reading Falling Branch Brewery
