First there was Beer and Bacon, now Baltimore's beer-guzzling connoisseurs will have a week to partake of their favorite hoppy beverage during Bmore's first annual Beer Week. Local pubs, bars and other purveyors of local, national and international brews will host a wide array of events from Oct. 8 to Oct. 18. We know -- technically that's longer than a week...but if you've got your beer goggles on it might sound just right.
Here's an excerpt:
The inaugural Baltimore Beer Week will take flight starting on October 8th, 2009 with 10 full days celebrating "All things beer in the Land of Pleasant Living" and will include over 300 separate events with something for everyone - who loves beer!
The event will begin with a cask- tapping ceremony on October 8th and will conclude on October 18. The week will feature beer dinners at area pubs and restaurants, appearances by noted brewers, and sipping events at the area's many historical sudsy sites.

Here's an excerpt from Beer in Baltimore:
*It appears the magic number of
events in the official calendar has become
333 335. Other events may pop up--I was fielding frantic e-mails yesterday from potential participating venues that wanted to add an event or three--but since the official print deadlines for the official programs, etc. have passed, it looks like we're
stuck with a nice, round, "lucky" still adding events to a number that is over
twice what we in the committee had originally hoped for. Not bloody bad for a first year!
There are a couple events that are officially sold out--among them the Clipper City beer brunch and tour on Sunday the 11th and the Red Brick Station Brew With The Brewer Day on the 16th. A couple events are reportedly under threat of cancellation due to low sales, such as the Red Brick Station Brew Day on Tuesday the 13th and possibly Mahaffey's bus trip to Flying Dog's shindig on the afternoon of the 13th. If you really want to see certain events come off, don't wait until the last minute!
