This will be very brief. Happy St. Paddy’s Day! It has been a tough week. My mom passed away on Wednesday. After a long battle with Alzheimer’s, Lorna Wortman is gone at 88, just a few days shy of turning 89, today.
Here are a few articles I collected over the week.
Read about how Peter Franchot’s Reform on Tap Act did not make it out of committee.
Here are Baltimore area’s best beers and spirits.
American’s Drunkest States Ranked – Maryland is #40.
What to expect at the Union Collective.
Jim Koch literally only drinks Boston Lager.
Not sure where I fit in but here are the 9 Types of Craft Beer Drinkers who will Drive you nuts!
Finally, this is not beer related, but I am a proud Retriever (that’s an UMBC alum for those of you not in the know). Rejoice in their NCAA victory! The first 16 seed to win in the tournament! Read about UMBC’s epic NCAA tournament thru the eyes of its Twitter handle.
Cheers!
