Max’s Belgian Beer Fest

Awful dilemma:
Announce Max’s Belgian Fest
Or keep it secret?

Written by Captain Hops.

References: Max’s Taphouse in Fells Point is having it’s Fifth Annual Belgian Beer Fest February 13-15, 2009. I went for a few hours last year and it was a real treat. It got a little crowded and I’d love to keep it all to myself this year, but that would just be mean.

Purple Passion

Purple Passion seethes
Win or lose we’re gonna need
Beer to calm our souls

Written by Captain Hops.

References: Many Baltimoreans are still a little bitter about the Colts secretly skipping town on a dark and stormy night 23 years ago. In case you didn’t know, there’s a lot more than a playoff football game on the line today when the Ravens confront the Colts. It’s gonna be crazy.

DuClaw Brewing Co. Fells Point, Maryland

Venom Pale Ale strikes.
Domino Sugar sign glows.
Nice night at DuClaw.

Contributed by Captain Hops.


This is a picture of the Domino Sugar sign from the Inner Harbor, not Fells Point, but you get the idea. Picture taken with a Canon Digital Rebel.
