Baltimore County’s biggest party is coming up. The Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Fest in Timonium is coming to the Maryland State Fairgrounds March 23 and 24, easy to get to by I-83 and with its own Light Rail stop. You can read about last year’s event here. So, there’s no excuse not to come!
The public transportation will be a godsend if you can’t rustle up a designated driver. When I attended last year, the parking lot was well-packed with Maryland State Police troopers.
Your admission buys you a sampling glass so you can enjoy an ALL-YOU-CARE–TO-TASTE sampling of beer and bourbon. Some of the best barbeque vendors are on-site if you get hungry all while enjoying seminars in the tasting theater and LIVE music all day.
