Beer has turned into the music scene in the sense that the more obscurely named artist ( or beer ) you claim you drink the more cool I guess you think you feel.
I'm not too much of a drinker anymore but I've tried tons or beers and micro brews, been to many places that only serve and specialize in draught beers and you buy sampler platters of said obscure beers and this one ( name is slipping by my ATM) use to have a local ( and by local I mean something brewed in a basement ) night on Tuesdays were they would feature someone's creation from 6-8pm, usually giving samples free.
My favorite beer is still Sam Adams Cherry Wheat ... Sam just makes a good overall product, but their a place in white marsh called red brick station and they make and distribute their own product and their stout and this blueberry beer they had was amazing
