It's Official! Baltimore Beer Week starting on Oct. 8!

OK, so you're going to have to wait until October, but for those who have
heard the rumors that Baltimore might host a week of beer activities akin to
the one in Philadelphia, the news is now official.

Baltimore is on tap to host the area's first Beer Week (actually 10 days) beginning with an opening tap party aboard the USS Constellation on Oct. 8.

According to a new web site dedicated to the event, organizer and self-proclaimed local beer maven Joe Gold hopes to schedule up to 150 beer-centric events.

As of now, the festival will include the Brewers Association of Maryland's Oktoberfest, held at the Timonium Fairgrounds Oct. 10, and the Chesapeake Real Ale Festival, sponsored by the Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood and held at the Pratt Street Ale House Oct. 17.
