Beer and Books


Even though it's completely sold out, the Beer and Books event by the Pratt Contemporaries (PC) is worth a mention.  PC has done such a good job over the last few years with introducing events to engage the city's readers.  Keep an eye out for more events from PC, and stop by the main Pratt Library on Cathedral Street (across from the Baltimore Basilica)...it's an amazing building to check out.  The Library was the first of it's kind in the country:  A free library that allowed all people regardless of sex, ethnicity, and religion.

Here's the write-up from PC about the Beer and Books event:


"From Natty Boh to H.L. Mencken, beer has been part of the city's culture and literary history for generations. 

So we're pairing Beers and Books with Brewer's Art owner (and former librarian) Volker Stewart.
Set in a grand Mt. Vernon townhouse, The Brewer's Art offers many temptations for your palate. In addition to brewing fine beers on the premises, Brewer's Art offers a carefully picked selection of beers and fine wines from around the world, and one of Baltimore's best selections of scotches and spirits."
