i love a lot of things about Maryland, and MoCo, but damn if their beer laws aren't idiotic. 

in an attempt to pull MD into the 21st century of beer laws, all MD residents should - nay, MUST - call their state senators to voice opposition to HB 1283.  it's fast, it's easy, and damn this bill needs to die a quick death (or at least be rewritten…):

House Bill 1283 Will Be Devastating for Maryland Brewers, and the Senate Needs to Fix It

From FeBREWary to March Madness: House passes bill that?s one step forward, two steps back for local beer

please, MD'ers, make a call: http://mdelect.net/ <– find your senator.  clock is ticking, do it NOW.

ha.. my buddy already received a call back from leaving a message.

I have a sneaking suspicion I'm going to be a little bit sad I'm going to Asheville the week of the Craft Brewers Conference.

Space's are definitely real… I probably should've looked at the actual list prior to saying, "full list. " Full disclosure, I didn't even look! hahaha

Also, nice sweetie shoutout that I just noticed on the page.

Having CBC fall right on the start of Passover is cruel, cruel timing :'(

I wonder if they'll go beyond their current $15 snifter threshhold with any of those beers?

I wonder if the FW rariies night at Smoke and Barrel will be half price happy hour?
