Beer Notes: Dessert Beers – What A Treat!
For many, dessert and beer should never be used in the same sentence. This week on Beer Notes, we are discussing why craft brewers are defying this idea. Dessert is the sweet course eaten at the end of a meal and a nightcap, originally meaning a cap worn to bed to keep one warm, […]

TREAT Definitely not TRICK!: Great Craft Beer Flavors for Fall
As a kid, I mapped out the best & worst places for Trick-or-Treating each year. The worst homes were those that gave out pennies, apples, & toothbrushes – really?! The best stops had lots of categories though. I remember making mental notes for who had full size candy bars, who let you reach in the […]

Citing the significant economic, fiscal and community contributions of Maryland’s craft brewers and the industry’s immense potential, Comptroller Peter Franchot today announced a major legislative package that would fundamentally reform the antiquated laws and burdensome regulations that govern Maryland craft breweries. The Reform on Tap Act of 2018 proposes the following: Removes all limits on beer […]
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. Earlier this year, the Maryland Legislature passed a bill that would have all-but-killed the craft beer industry in the state. It was walked back a little bit, […]
Fall is time for experimentation at Backshore Brewing Co.
When you work at the beach, summer doesn’t seem as short as it does when you play at the beach. With its spot on the boards, Backshore Brewing stays busy all year, but from June through August it is a little insane. Usually. Recent months have been a little less insane because they were able […]

I participate in beer festivals all year long, as I’m sure do many of you, but fall is different. Autumn approaches with something a little extra in the air, and as we all prepare for the first fall beer festival, the Annual Brews on the Beach, I started thinking about what distinguishes the season. Some of these observations are […]
