Happy hour at OCtoberfest
It was less of a beer festival and more of a party. That’s what I thought when I slipped in the fourth annual Shore Craft Beer festival downtown Ocean City last week. The day was scorching, and I found out that you can in fact get sunburn through your clothes. I was grouchy, sweating, and […]
Maryland craft beer lacks a top-down approach
The most interesting news that came out of the recent Reform on Tap meeting was that the failure of the legislature might be an executive failure as well.

Tall Tales: Creating a craft beer narrative
This week, Tall Tales Brewing in Parsonsburg released the first of a series of beers in its “Conspiracy Theory” line. The premise is pretty simple, name beers after famous conspiracies from the faked moon landing to aliens building the pyramids to who really was responsible for the JFK assassination. The beer names go well with […]
Rumors are brewing about the next big thing in Maryland beer
When Fin City first brewed its Backfin Blue Crab Stout in 2016 it was a super-small batch just for locals, but now there are rumors the trend may spread statewide. At this year’s Shore Craft Beer Fest: Brews on the Beach, people were asking whether Blue Crab Stout could be made the State Beer. Things like […]
15 photos that show what MARSH Fest is all about
MARSH Fest was introduced to the world on Saturday, and while it might have been the premiere festival of its kind on Wallops Island, it went off without a hitch. Part of MARSH Fest’s success has to be due to the sheer variety of what the festival offers. Do you want to watch a guy […]
