I hope you like beer because Baltimore Beer Week is going on right now.  I have a recently acquired appreciation of beer.  I grew up in a small town in the Midwest with beer options like Bud Light, Miller, and Michelob so I really disliked beer. How was I supposed to know it all didn’t taste like yuck?  I have the beer scene in Baltimore to thank for showing me the light. You will find me this week sampling IPA’s and sipping on stouts. Also, LEAR at Single Carrot Theatre runs through October 29 and I encourage you to go see it. Baltimore has such a huge offering of local theatre you would be remiss to not take advantage of it.

2nd Annual Sour Power Hour(s)
5PM – 10PM
Birroteca
1520 Clipper Road, Baltimore
At one time, all beers were sour to some degree. As pure yeast cultures were not available, the starter used from one batch to another usually contained some wild yeast and bacteria. Unlike modern brewing, which is done in a sterile environment to guard against the intrusion of wild yeast, sour beers are made by intentionally allowing wild yeast strains or bacteria into the brew. Traditionally, Belgian brewers allowed wild yeast to enter the brew naturally through the barrels or during the cooling of the wort in a coolship open to the outside air – an unpredictable process that many modern brewers avoid. This event will feature 15 different sour beers from around the country.

300 S High St, Baltimore
Annapolis-based act Kings of Crownsville are a roots Rock band with a New Orleans flavor. The brainchild of New Orleans-raised guitarist/singer/songwriterSteve Johnson, the Kings play a rollicking, entertaining set that stirs Americana, Blues, and Jazz into the mix. Their signature horn section transports listeners to the streets of the Big Easy, while they also add precise three- and four-part harmonies to their musical gumbo. Think Louis Armstrong meets Steely Dan.
