Saturday Beer Reads

It is hard to believe this is the last week of summer. Where has the time gone?

So, slow down and take a moment to relax. Here are a few little gems about today’s beer world.

This first one is for my friend, dBear, about one of Maine’s premier breweries – The Oral History of Allagash White.

Although it’s still September, the beer is flowing in Munich for Oktoberfest.

For those of dreams of traveling the globe in search of breweries with great scenery, check out 10 great breweries where the scenery’s as good as the beer.

Apparently, Jennifer Lawrence is a beer lover. Read about her beer brawl in a Budapest bar. (Watch Jennifer tell the story on video, it’s quite entertaining.)

Cheers!

Saturday Beer Reads

It’s September and it sure feels like autumn. The cool air is slowing my garden’s tomato production but fall offers lots of great things to make up for it. So, crack open your favorite harvest ale and check out these musings for this weekend. And oh, yeah, don’t forget about Hysteria’s Labor Day bash, I’ll be there.

Speaking of fall, check out Maureen O’Prey’s take on pumpkin beers:

Men’s Fitness has their own spin on the top 8 fall craft brews. I’m happy to see Baltimore’s Heavy Seas Marzen made the list. Danielle St. Pierre of Best Products came up with her own list. Sam Adams Octoberfest made both lists.

I think I’ve heard all 41 of Chris Sands’s Uncapped podcasts. I’m excited to learn that Guinness is projected to open its brewery in mid-October of this year. To learn more about this exciting new Maryland brewery, listen or watch Episode 041 –  Guinness Brewery in Baltimore.

In my pursuit to visit 57 Maryland breweries, I have visited all of Sun reporter Wesley Case’s top Baltimore taprooms, except Diamondback. For me, it’s difficult to whittle down just 5 taprooms. What about Jailbreak? Manor Hill? Oliver Brewing? What do you think?
