Ending the year with beer: Holiday events on the Shore
The holidays are a time of hibernation for many of us on the Eastern Shore, a much-needed respite after a long summer of beachgoing and a fall full of back-to-school/back-to-the-daily-grind happenings. By the time December approaches, it feels like it’s finally the right time to just sit back and unwind with family, preferably around a […]
Beer under the gray October sky: Photos from OCtoberfest 2018
We were a little nervous looking at the forecast the week leading up to OCtoberfest, but when everyone on the Eastern Shore began canceling their Halloween events scheduled for the 27th, we just held our breath and crossed our fingers.

Beer Watch: Local Brews Round-Up for July
Here are some good places to enjoy a beer this summer: At a barbecue. Beside the pool. On the beach (in a cozy or opaque generic container depending on where you’re beaching).

A week of cheap beer pairings in Ocean City? Yes, please!
Before you’re thrown off by the headline, let me just clarify that it’s not the quality of the beer that’s cheap (no Michelob Ultra here, people), but the food and craft beer pairings that are inexpensive during Shore Craft Beer Restaurant Week, coming up June 4 – 10 in Ocean City. It’s an issue in […]
Merging craft beer with the arts
We already know that craft beer is an art in itself, as much as any culinary process is considered an artistic exploit. Merging the art of craft beer with more traditional arts — painting, sculpture, even music — makes for a pairing as great as the classic IPA-with-a-basket-of-mozzarella-sticks combo (or something as equally greasy).
