    Yeah, nothing else really compares. A good sign is that they post their taplist unlike most of the other places with events. I had to call the places last year to ask what was on tap. The initial Friday is the only week one of the bunch, but there is Chilibrew to compensate for that.

    I can't wait for the day when we get something akin to PTF (Philly Tap Finder) for Baltimore. I hear BBW might be coming out with an app, but probably not in time for this year's.

    The actual BBW website is just so clunky.

    The taplist is about what we've come to expect (I delete the email from Casey as soon as it arrives in my Inbox, as I'm too old to handle the bout of depression I know I'll expeirence when I read it over - seeing as how I know I can't go), but I have to confess that even my jaw dropped when I saw the Utopias vertical. Talk about raising the bar to new and unbelievable heights!

    As someone who lives in the NW now, let me recommend the Upright pilsner. The NW is rightly famous for their IPA's and DIPA's, but the Upright pils is up there with some of the best domestic pils I've ever tried, and is on par (or nearly so) with some of the Braumeister pils you'll find at Victory. Really a fine pils, and one of those beers that is very hard to find, anywhere outside of Portland, Or. (we get kegs here in Eugene no more than a couple of times of year).

    I have an availability/rating copy of the beers on tap now. Send me a PM if you would like it.

    I wonder what the serving size is on the Utopias samples? Such a deal but still so much money.

    For the Utopias I believe Casey said 3 oz pour. Little too pricey for me when there are so many other drafts and bottles available. Agree with John about the Upright Pils. If you've never been to the MD Brewers Big Wheel Race it's lots of fun. Next Fri., Sat. and Sun will be killer. Kosmic Mother Funk on tap, WTF!? The Allagash stuff and then that insane Shelton Bros. list. See ya in Bmore.

    Good time tonight. Pleased to see a bunch from this past weekend still on tap I wanted to try. The Ballast Point Sour Wench I thought was much better than the Firestone Walker Bretta Weisse (both Berliner Weisse beers), The Evil Twin Femme Fatale Kabusu and the Femme Fatale Sudachi (Bretted IPAs with Melon and Citrus Fruit respectively) were both very good, slightly better I thought than the ET/Crooked Stave Ryan & The Gosling. Rounding it out were the ET/Intangible Ales Sour Bikini (nice and sour) and Firestone Walker Velvet Merkin (I think FW has the best BA program in craft beer). The Velvet Merkin was a deal price wise, 12 oz pour for bout $8.50, far less per oz. then the bottle. Hated having to leave as things were cranking up for the O's game, the Natty Boh Oriole guy was even coming, and still had Sculpin, Grapefruit Sculpin, BP Victory At Sea, Imperial Donut Break, Firestone Walker Union Jack and Double Jack, and New Belgium La Folie and La Terrior on tap I still wanted to have, of course I couldn't have had them all but I could try :slight_smile:. List (draft lines) is only about 70%, by the time they add all the Shelton Bros. stuff on Saturday this taplist is going to be insane.

    I thought Bretta Weisse was one of the best overall beers I've ever had, and Velvet Merkin was great also.

    That's why we all love craft beer. To each his own! Bretta Weisse was good just a little on the sweet side, kind of unusual for a Berliner.

    Bretta Weisse was good but not phenomenal. I preferred Sour Wench as well.

    How was Saturday and Sunday? I spent my money on bottles instead. Any surprise beers not on the posted list?

    It was nice, all of the Prairies were there, as well as some Jolly Pumpkin stuff. Nothing too surprising.
