Baltimore Beer Week

The young and the old
From near and far we gather
To celebrate beer

References: Baltimore Beer Week 2010 will be held October 7-17. Yeah we know that’s 11 days. It’s that good.

Baltimore Beer Week Opening Ceremony

Folks sitting around
On a boat drinking cask ale.
Nice start to the week.

Written by Captain Hops.

References: Tonight is the cask tapping ceremony on the USS Constellation to kick off the first annual Baltimore Beer Week. Unfortunately the tapping event is not open to the public, but following that ceremony is the Brewers Association of Maryland Kickoff Party at the Pratt Street Ale House. This is a public event that goes from 8:00pm-10:00pm and costs $10 to attend.

This haiku was inspired by a tweet from the Baltimore Beer Guy. Tom Cizauskas had a more complete response with more information about the ceremony.

Baltimore Beer Week

Baltimore Beer Week?
Isn’t that every week?
OK. Bring it on!

Written by Captain Hops.

References: According to Rob Kasper, the first Baltimore Beer Week is scheduled from October 8-18, 2009. Apparently it will be so monumental that we need more than a week to contain it. I’ll drink to that!
