More Good Finds

I found a very interesting website called www.baltimorebeerweek.com that has a nice little section about the beer history of Baltimore. I didn't even realize it but Baltimore's Beer Week is October 8th-18th and I really wish I would have attended it. I would have been able to spend time with my girlfriend, have a beer or two... or three, and get some research done at the same time. Here are some recap videos on what I missed out on during that week in the Inner Harbor on the homepage of the website http://baltimorebeerweek.com/index.shtml. This was footage of the opening tap celebration although you apparently had to subscribe to the website to win tickets to this event but afterwards there was a kickoff party at the Pratt Street Ale House. I found two interesting articles on the website that are very useful to my research called, "History of Beer Making in Baltimore" by Stephen Demczuk and, "Is Baltimore a Beer Town?" by Thomas Cizauskas. Demczuk is the president of the Baltimore-Washington Beer Works and Cizauskas is a writer for the Mid-Atlantic Brewing News. Demczuk looks like he has a lot of knowledge about Beer History in Maryland and Baltimore and has an email on his website so perhaps I could contact him for information http://ravenbeer.com/home.html. I also found another website that has more information on Baltimore's Brewing History and it appears to be pretty credible for its information and pictures http://www.kilduffs.com/American_Brewery_Baltimore.html.
