The Heavy Seas Bacon and Beer Fest – Pirates and Beer Edition
by Evan on Sep.22, 2009, under Baltimore, Boozetime!
(if you’d like to read about the bacon and other foodstuffs featured at this horrifically amazing event, go here)
SO I’ve been wracking my brain over and over about what to say about the Heavy Seas Bacon and Beer Fest put on by Clipper City Brewery the other day, and I just can’t really do it justice. The event was positively magical; all you can drink Heavy Seas and Clipper City brews (which will get you bombed incredibly quickly as it turns out), bacon centric foods and frigging pirates walking and ROLLER SKATING around – it was simply the best way to spend half of a Saturday afternoon. The ability to walk around among the bottling equipment, tankards, cisterns, cooling systems and all of the other brewery equipment that comprise an otherwise industrial setting were perfectly woven into the festivities in a way that bizarrely complimented the whole thing.
That coupled with the surreality of pirates walking around and getting drunk while eating bacon, I mean …what the hell? The whole thing was incredibly well executed and I can’t wait to get back to another one of their events, regardless of the theme.
At any rate, hopefully some of these pictures can kind of do the whole thing a bit of justice.

The Boot makes a triumphant return
by Evan on Jun.22, 2009, under Baltimore, Boozetime!

Over the years …and years and years of my long career as an alcohol enthusiast, there are a few traditions and that I have always embraced at a few of my local favorite pour houses. Karaoke, house shots, pole dancing, whatever the case may be; one of my all-time favorites at Captain Larry’s was always the time-tested awesomeness that is The Boot Race.
Two teams, two boots, the first team to pass around and finish their respective boot received the honor of having the next boot bought for them by the losing team. And considering the fact that the boot could be filled with 2 liters of whatever was on draft for a nominal fee, it’s pretty clear as to why this event would be a favorite of mine. Sadly, as with most things made of glass and the drunks that handle them, the boot(s) was lost to calamity and shattered into millions of pieces, never to return. Until, that is, I decided to purchase a new one for Capt. Larry’s 3rd anniversary party this past weekend. |
| So after well over three years, it’s back and it is awesome. The boot was baptized using Lagunitas IPA, which there was no way in hell I was going to polish off alone, so it was passed around to everyone at the bar – but I did finish the job myself, gulping down the last few nearly lukewarm and sort of backwashy beer. Not the greatest finish, but definitely a triumphant return nonetheless. So if you’re in the neighborhood, I would recommend getting some friends together and ordering up a boot of your favorite brew. But if you break it, I swear on my mother I will hunt you down and break your thumbs. That’s a promise. |  |
Google Earth Project – Top 100 Coldest Beers in Baltimore (2007)
by Evan on Mar.20, 2009, under Baltimore, Food and Drink
As promised, I have begun mapping City Paper’s top 100 coldest beers lists, and will be presenting them year by year in the Google Earth Projects page. Once all of them have been completed they will be available as a whole set, or individual years for viewing.
Top 100 Coldest Beers in Baltimore – 2007 (Earth) (Maps) – City Paper’s formerly annual feature listing the top 100 coldest beers in and around the city, preserved for posterity. From City Paper’s feature “In Our Cups”, printed 2007/05/23. (Note that many of the bars listed in previous years may have changed names, or flat out no longer exist)
