Baltimore Beer Week

Baltimore Beer Week?
Isn’t that every week?
OK. Bring it on!

Written by Captain Hops.

References: According to Rob Kasper, the first Baltimore Beer Week is scheduled from October 8-18, 2009. Apparently it will be so monumental that we need more than a week to contain it. I’ll drink to that!

Flying Dog Haiku Contest

Why do beer lovers
Gravitate to short poems?
There’s more time for beer.

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.

The Session: Beer Festivals

Decisions

How to make choices
With so much of a good thing
Laid out before me.


Oregon Brewer’s Festival

With a plastic cup
And a dozen wood tokens
I enter the fray


Maryland Brewer’s Oktoberfest

Oom Pah Pah echoes
For the kids and the old folks
Young men wait for beer

Written by Captain Hops.

the Session: Beer Festivals

References: This post is part of The Session. The Session is a monthly beer-themed group writing project for bloggers. This month’s theme is Beer Festivals and it is hosted by Geistbear Brewing Blog.

Beer festivals can be fun, they can be overwhelming, and they can be utter chaos. I am a fairweather beer festival goer. I like to attend on nice days, when the beers are plentiful, the lines quick, the food tasty, and the music fun.

Cheers!

Check out the full round-up of Beer Festival posts.
