Quick 24 hr trip down to Baltimore, with the first stop, right after parking in front of maxstaphouse was thamesstreetoysterhouse for a house oyster shooter with Natty Boh & an old bay rim (good suggestion woltersworld), oysters and crabcake for renee.mikorski and a burger for me. Plus a Diamondhead Green Machine hazy IPA. Then we stopped at Max`s for a bunch of beers: Burley Oak - Blueberry Ube Cheesecake JREAM, South County - Lupulin Church, Union - Lil Dipper Tettnanger Centennial Cask, Diamondback - Green Rawaka Machine, Union - Lil Dipper Perle Cask, Sinepuxent - Werster Erster, Ten Eyck - Marrakesh Moroccan (thx receipt!). Record and book shopping next sg_bmore & normals_books_records followed by the concept we need to see more: #Eightbar in the back of atomicbooksbaltimore. Had a Union Divine IPA, no relation to the actor. Right next door was nepenthebrewingco. Had a bunch of west ipas & a strawberry sour, and got a 6 pack of Diviner to go, again, no relation. Also a chimichurri melt & old bay wings (old bay on everything, right #woltersworld?). Checked into the hotel & ended the night visiting the two hotelulysses bars: thecoralwig & Bloom`s, having 2 cocktails each at both places...rum martini that tasted like icing, and a scotch/rum drink, then a Tom Kat Soup savory cocktail and another rum forward Heart of the City. Renee got a bunch of old fashioneds: rum (tasted of burned plastic) & gin, and a gin martini ish drink with anchovy. Brunch the next morning papermoondiner for a burrito and asparagus & potato pancakes, then drove home after another record store stop instawaxatlas.
