Yeah, technically some would call Racer's Cafe and Red Brick Station "Eastern Baltimore County," but generally that term is used for the territory immediately to the east of Baltimore City--Dundalk, Essex, Middle River, Chase, and the other areas below Interstate 95 that garner about as much respect as Rodney Dangerfield ("As kids, we played hide-and-seek. Nobody came to look for me!"). And if you've ever headed northeast from Highlandtown, your only good-beer respites have involved lengthy detours to Red Brick Station or DuClaw, at least until you get to State Line Liquors or Newark's Iron Hill Brewery.
But with a name like Hop Heads, you know there has to be a beer geek involved.
Sandwiched between the
Silver Moon Diner and the Colonial Inn on the soutth side of Rt. 40/Pulaski Highway at Middle River Road in a nondescript, easy-to-miss building, the relatively new bar (a couple months old) looks like just about any North-American-industrial-lager-fueled "dive" along that highway. But inside this somewhat plain bar, customers will find four taps and a cooler filled with bottles of craft beers, including Troeg's, Victory, Heavy Seas, and even a few Belgians.
This is apparently still a work in progress, but thus far the initial appearances are promising.
