Rare & Obscure Beer in Baltimore

Living in Philly we obviously have an opportunity to attend a multitude of great beer events. It's not often that I am jealous of our neighboring cities in the northeast. However Max's Taphouse in Baltimore has me wishing I could just jump in the car and head south on 95. After reading a post about Max's on Philly Beer Enthusiast (I agree Chuck, it's the best beer bar in Charm City) I wandered over to their site to view the current draft list. The Rare and Obscure Beers Part 2 event caught my eye and I soon felt that jealous tinge. Over the next 3 days, 6/24, 6/25, 6/26, Max's will tap some very intriguing beers. This is a long scroll down.

If you have business in Baltimore over the next few days consider yourself lucky. If you needed an excuse for a mid week road trip now you have it. The event is 5pm until close each day, it's a cash bar and sample pours are available.

They also have Harveistoun Ola Duhba 12 and 18 Year. Had the Hitachino Classic (IPA) the Nogne O IPA, both were very good. The Hitachino was much sweeter, as the Nogne O had a stong bitterness to it.

We then tried the 18 Year Harveistoun Ola Duhba. Sweet tast to it, with the alcohol coming through strong on the nose and in the mouth. Not overpowering, but you know it is there. It would be another good beer to have one of sometime.

Sounds fantastic. I've ben reading reviews for Harveistoun Ola Duhba 12 and 18. Now I'm totally in the mood for both. Wish I could head down.
