Baltimore Beer Week, and pounds in the tap on a firkin of
Clipper City Loose Cannon, officially beginning the eleven day
celebration of all things beery in Charm City on October 7.

Baltimore Beer Week ended on Sunday, after eleven days of
beery events.

Highlights included the opening tap celebration, three beer
festivals, countless beer tastings, many beer dinners and much
happiness.

Now we can all sleep again. Whew.

Here's a photographic look at some of the events of the week.
