Hard to keep up with all of the far-flung events in the Baltimore Beer Week, but I might try to make it down to Max's Taphouse for tomorrow's Stillwater Artisinal Ales event. "Gypsy Brewer" Brian Strumke, who lives in, appropriately enough, Baltimore's Brewers Hill neighborhood, will be premiering a very limited edition of Stillwater's new Requisite - an Imperialist Stout. Only 75 bottle of it exist, and all of them will be sold away at the release party.
Here's a link to an August NPR story on Strumke, who debuted his craft brewery's flagship Stateside Saison only this February.
My first Stateside taste was just now, where Strumke was set up outside of Joe Squared -- the summery Cellar Door, finished with a touch of white sage. I'm in love.
