Laurel, MD
I showed up late for the Reform on Tap at Jailbreak. It promised to be interesting, with the discussion surrounding retail and whether selling beer in grocery stores should be allowed. Continue reading Retail at Reform on Tap

New Belgium Comes to Frisco
Columbia, MD
The Columbia Pint Night Gang spent the evening at Frisco Tap House which featured one of the craft beer world’s classiest breweries, New Belgium. This employee owned brewery from Fort Collins, Colorado has a great beer culture of sustainability, bicycles and, oh yeah, happens to make great beer. Continue reading New Belgium Comes to Frisco
Baltimore Light Rail Crawl
Baltimore, MD
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

Saturday Beer Reads
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!

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
