If you're seriously into beer, you know that Max's has the best draft list in Maryland.

If you're more casually into beer, any of the places that have been mentioned will do just fine.

Pratt Street has their own beer.  I think I would rate that above having a bunch of other breweries beers on draft.  You only need one good beer on draft as I only drink one beer at a time.

There's actually a few breweries in the world who make better beer than Pratt Street. I would opt for them. To each his own.

Well if I were at those breweries I would drink their beer.  I would rather go to a place that makes their own beer. Like Brewer's Art that has amazing food and it is a cool place.  That a dump that has no sunlight coming into it , poor food,  and bad service.  I if I want a glass if Hofbrau Heifweizen Max's always has it.  That I guess is the one positive.

If I wanted a glass of Hofbrau beer (which I wouldn't, unless I were in Munich at the beer hall) I'd grab a bottle from Total Wine. Not that much difference between German beers on draft vs. bottled, imo.

If I wanted something rare-ish in Baltimore which I couldn't find in a store and didn't want to travel 3000 miles for, I'd go to Max's.

I agree with you about Max's being a dump. But it is a beer lovers dream.

I really was only asking about Alewife.  But thanks.

I didn't care for their beer hall that much.  But it definitely tasted better on draft than out of the bottle.

Do they even keep an updated draft list online anywhere? That was my problem with
Alewife the time I went. I usually pick the place I'm going based on what's currently on draft. The one time I went, it was a matter of geography rather then beer selection.

If this list is updated, i'd opt for:

http://www.alewifebaltimore.com/menus-2/draught/

Jolly Pumpkin Bam Bierre..excellent saison....hard to find (at least in VA) and comes in a $10 bomber. So you're paying less by getting a draft.

Maine Lunch...great ipa, normally comes in expensive 16 oz bottle, $8 draft price is reasonable.

St Bernardus 12...one of the best Belgian beers, period.

Also can't go wrong with a Union Jack or Green Flash IPA.

Stone Imperial Stout if you're itching for a stout.

This Wieters thing could be problematic.  On top of the Davis thing.

"Dr. James Andrews" definitely hurts his trade value.

If Davis can only DH it might mean the end of Lough.  As Cruz would have to play left field every day. Maybe they would get rid of Young instead.

I remember arguing about people on here that the Lombo deal wasn't a big deal.  Now he is in triple A and the other guy was released.  Talk about much to do about nothing.
