Dogfish Head Alehouse Gaithersburg Charity

On Thursday September 22nd, in conjunction with the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, 15% of all Dogfish Head Alehouse (Gaithersburg MD location) sales will be donated.

RFD's First Annual Charity for Children

At RFD in D.C. they'll have a charity event on May 2nd.

Starts at 4 PM, $40 ticket gets you food, drink and live music in the Courtyard and Backroom Bar. The flier I have in front of me says "bottomless cups of Flying Dog and Miller Lite". Wizard cheerleaders, door prizes, raffles, giveaways, t-shirt. All proceeds go to Children's National Medical Center.

Tickets

Miscellaneous

-- Tonight's bomber at Mahaffey's is Southern Tier Uber Sun, an 8% imperial wheat beer. Throw in 30 cent wings and new bottles tomorrow. They'll also run $3 Mexican beers until they run out, "please forgive the Dos XX on tap".

-- Looney's Pub (Maple Lawn) is having a charity event tonight from 4-10 PM for Avon Walk For Breast Cancer. A portion of sales go directly to the Avon Walk Team. The team will also sell wristbands that get people extended happy hour prices.

Miscellaneous

-- Concert for a Cure honoring Mike Lacey tonight (Thursday April 23rd) at Looney's North (Bel Air). All day and night, benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Guest bartenders, raffles and 50/50, door prizes, giveaways, silent auction and raffle for a signed Joe Flacco (!) uniform.

-- Another reminder, the City Paper Brew Fest is this Saturday April 25th at Fells Point. I won't be going, but sounds like fun in a good location there central to many solid beer stops (Max's, Cat's Eye, Slainte, Duda's, DuClaw, Ale Mary's, Wharf Rat, John Steven Ltd. etc.).

-- DuClaw's Bel Air location is pouring two firkins this Friday: Raspberry Kangaroo Love and Double Dry Hopped Venom (pale ale).

-- The Perfect Pour beer tastings are Friday (April 24 5-8 PM) Lindeman's lambic and Saturday (25th 3-7 PM) "favorite 22 oz's" for the spring including Magic Hat #9, Southern Tier Cherry Saison (yum!), Abita Andygator and Abita Abbey Ale.

Not sure if I've mentioned it before on here but it sounds like The Perfect Pour is acquiring the space next to them and will expand into that area. Its actually a huge store but their entrance is but a narrow doorway hugging the elbow of the shopping center they occupy in Columbia.

-- Flying Dog has updated its website, more social media-y stuff going on. Among other participatory events already named on here recently, they'll also be at Alexandra's Restaurant (Ellicott City) for their "Spring Beer Dinner", $45/person on Saturday May 2nd. Alexandra's is a classy french place, haven't been but I believe it was named in Baltimore Magazine's top 50 restaurants issue.

DuClaw Labor Day Good Cause

DuClaw is inviting people to head on over and get growlers filled with their various brews. And in addition from Saturday through the end of Monday, $2 from every new growler purchase and $1 from every growler refill will go to help an injured (really cute) dog named Megan.

Megan is a 4-month-old black retriever/shepherd with a "badly broken knee". Her operation costs $1,500. Full story here.
