We’ve had it.

Yup, we’ve had it with poring through the Board of Estimates agenda and critiquing Baltimore’s busted economic development strategy and being thrown out of lobbies, parking lots and public meetings and moderating salacious steelworker comments and being criticized by Andalusian purists for – unpardonable sin of sins – putting sugar in a gazpacho recipe.

For two weeks, we’re taking a break from all that.

Starting today and lasting until Aug. 15, Baltimore Brew is going on a little summer vacation. Not sure if we’ll be reading Russian novels in an air-conditioned library or lying around in a heat-addled fugue state with a copy of the News of the World filched from some evidence room, but we’ll be taking a short break from Brewing.

You can still email us at baltimore.brew@gmail.com or editors@baltimorebrew.com. We’ll see all your press releases, darts and laurels, deep dark tips and friendly reminders when we return.
