Photos, and one Balto. Beer Festival review......

The official Baltimore Beer Week photo compilation on Flickr is still getting lots of uploads from me as I get the chance...........  the latest stream being mostly Saturday's Chesapeake Real Ale Festival.......

Meanwhile the online Baltimore Sun's Midnight Sun blog has posted a review from one attendee of the Baltimore Beer Festival in Canton yesterday.

Were you there?  What did you think?

I was there and enjoyed the afternoon. I did leave before the grunge band stated so I missed the all f-bombs. Not that I would have noticed. The football game drew the crowds away from Evolution, Flying Dog and the VIP tent so I was glad it was popular. Also smokers must be football fans because after it came on I didn't notice anymore cigarette smoke. Even the booths just behind the football crowd seemed to be ignored by the fans. I was able to get to Stillwater and Troegs with wait. I read on the Sun blog that Natty Boh was the most popular booth which seems rather sad. Since I go out to bars very often I appreciated the opportunity to enjoy the wide range of beer. My only complaint is the lack of a designated driver ticket since my wife, who doesn't drink beer, would have enjoyed the food and music. I wonder if the folks who brought their kids paid full price for them? Based on comments on the Sun blog it seems some people brought their teenage chaildren.

I was disappointed at the Blue and Bres event on the 15th. The music was great especially Big Daddy but the bares were sold out of Loose cannon by 9:00 pm and it not like the place was packed. From then on it was $5.50 a beer instead of $3.50.
