The Wharf Rat, one of the places where the craft/micro beer renaissance got its foothold in Baltimore, celebrated its 25th anniversary on Sunday. Here, Jen Oliver pours one of the first mugs of a "revival" batch of their original brewing recipe,
S.W.1.
Yes, that's a cake.
Bill Oliver orders the issue of the "daily rum rations," a practice discontinued by the Royal Navy in 1970.
Meanwhile, at what had been the second Wharf Rat with a brewpub, tonight marks the conclusion of the "War of 1812" brew-off between the two in-house brewers:
At 6pm on Monday at The Pratt Street Ale House
the ballots will be counted and one of us will stand victorious, the
other paying a forfeit of the victor's choosing!
To celebrate we'll be tapping two special oak barrels, Rule Britannia
with Bramling Cross & Juniper Berries and God Bless America with
Amarillo & Grains Of Paradise. We'll also be tapping a blended
firkin dry hopped with Bramling Cross and Amarillo just to prove that we
can still get along after all of the trash talk of the last couple of
weeks! I hope you'll come along and celebrate/commiserate with us on
Monday. $3 pints of 1812 cask and draft all evening!
