1) The Beer Pioneers of Baltimore Luncheon at Bertha's (which, technically, predates the Wharf Rat as the founding base for real ale in central Maryland, pouring cask-conditioned Oxford Class Amber Ale on hand-pump back in 1991!) on Monday, Oct. 12th (Columbus Day holiday) is within ten or so seats of sell-out. This promises to be a terrific event:
Please join guest panelists Hugh Sisson – Founder and General Partner of Clipper City Brewing Company (formally of Sisson’s Brew Pub - Maryland’s first brew pub), Tony Norris – Owner of Bertha’s, Craig Stuart Paul – Founder of Oxford Brewing Company (Maryland’s first micro-brewery) and Jim Lutz – Founder of Wild Goose Brewing Company (currently Vice President of Sales at Flying Dog Brewery) as they discuss the birth of the craft industry in Maryland. MC for the event will be long time Baltimore Sun columnist Rob Kasper.As an aside. make the reservations by phone or in person; they'll take cash that day.
Menu to include: Steamed mussels with assorted sauces, and Bangers & Mash. Meal includes beer samplings of Wild Goose Pale Ale, Bertha’s Best Bitter (on hand pump) and Heavy Sea’s Loose Cannon.
SPACE is limited. Reservations are required. Credit card reservations @ 410 327 5795 (ask for Bernard) Tickets also available at the bar at Bertha’s starting Monday 21st September.
In addition, could I call your attention to the "Beer History" page at the BBW website. They are actively seeking out contributions to the site, and I think much of what is in the current issue of Mid-Atlantic Brewing News would qualify for inclusion.
