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.

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.
