They had both the port version and regular harvest ale on he hand pump (love the port version).<br /><br />No disrespect to the Metro, as I agree it's great that they have a keg of this great (and expensive) beer as well, but I just think it's very cool how easily obtainable (relatively speaking) this beer is in Baltimore. That was really the point I was trying to make (in a backhanded sort of way).JohnM.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08630863956282168060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760958785336796611.post-80562096403807984102012-02-10T21:19:10.292-05:002012-02-10T21:19:10.292-05:00John, while I agree that JW Lees has been more wid...John, while I agree that JW Lees has been more widely available recently (thanks to B United doing their job so well) I heartily applaud Bruce for going the distance to get something so special in house for the enjoyment of the members of the SPBW (and make no mistake, this beer was very special, not to mention incredibly expensive!) Also of course, this is one of the rare beers these days that is available in a wooden cask, let's not forget what SPBW is all about. That's what I would call attention to detail! Credit where it is due and is due to Bruce/Metropolitan!stevejoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13363595767073695526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760958785336796611.post-55499877557234744962012-02-09T15:53:39.852-05:002012-02-09T15:53:39.852-05:00I'll be the first to admit that there are some...I'll be the first to admit that there are some beers unavailable in Baltimore that are available in other parts of the country that sometimes make me a bit envious. That being said, I have never been anywhere that is more blessed than Baltimore when it comes to access to kegs and firkins of J. W. Lee's. <br /><br />Any other part of the country and I'd happily make a special trip for this event, but just last month Max's had the harvest ale on tap and on cask. They also had a firkin of the Lagavulin aged J. W. Lee as well. Over the past year I've also been able to enjoy from the firkin J.W. Lee's aged in Sherry, Port (yummmm!!!!) and calvados.<br /><br />So my response to the event anncouncement from SPBW is simply this: J.W. Harvest Ale again???
