This is what the legislature doesn’t get about craft beer
***Update*** It looks as if the bill is going to pass with the grandfather clause intact. This was easy to do because the only people it hurts are those without a brewery in their town. *** ***Update from the comptroller’s office*** Comptroller Franchot will make a major announcement involving Maryland’s alcohol industry during a tour […]
Mike Anderson hits the road for Big Oyster
As the only salesperson for Big Oyster Brewery Mike Anderson spends a lot of time keeping in touch with the brewery’s more than 100 restaurant and bar customers on Delmarva. It’s something you have to be built for, being up all the time. The easiest way is to have it as part of your general disposition. […]
This is what a Craft Beer destination looks like
The Eastern Shore is a craft beer destination not because most bars here serve rare craft beers, but because they serve local craft beers. When I started covering the Ocean City HMRA show a decade ago there were two beer bars, and they always were packed. I collected bottle caps at the time and was […]
Sours, Trucks and a place to stay: Beer news roundup
There was plenty going on in beer this week including a trade show that featured some of our local craft beer among other regional beers in a designated craft beer section which, I think, does a lot for the area. Booze and wine were kind of spread out, but Craft Beer was concentrated, as kind […]
Beers for drinking and beers for tasting
Love on Tap was a monster hit. Highlights for me included getting some of the dwindling Kohana Stout and getting to take a million photos of a bunch of people really enjoying themselves. This week we look into that as well as when and how to taste craft beers, the all beer Lenten diet and […]
Four craft beer and brewing stories you should know
I was at the meadmaking class at Xtreme Brewing last weekend along with a dozen or more mead makers and would-be mead makers. Jon Talkington, who expects to open Brimming Horn Meadery in Lewes in the coming weeks, discussed the history and finer points of making honey mead. We broadcast the entire thing on the […]

We’re proud and happy to announce this year’s winner of the Shore Craft Beer Love Story is Amy West. She and her special someone will receive two tickets to Love on Tap, which is nearly sold out (so click here if you still didn’t get ’em) as well as a room at the Dunes Manor […]
Craft fermentables and awesomely pretentious glasses
We’re rolling toward the end of FeBREWary so I pretty much can stop pretending it is harder to say than the normal way. Also, I’ve used more CAPS this month than I care to think about. This week I got out for Valentine’s Day twice and had some OK beer along the way. I say […]
A gentleman never tells
My love affair with Shore Craft Beer began in the summer of 2014. It was a warm and sunny day in late July when my wife and I paid our first visit to 45th Street Taphouse Bar & Grille in Ocean City. We sat out on the patio, and with a nice breeze blowing, all […]
Eternal Love for each other? Or Craft Beer?
When a relationship, like a good craft beer, is at the bottom you tend to look for more of a good thing. We had reached the bottom of our relationship last August but instead of getting a different beer we decided to go back to best thing we ever had, each other! We decided a […]
