Bel Air Beer Week 2016—It's Actually Longer Than a Week

BEL AIR, MD — Its first year was such a success that Bel Air Beer Week is back again for another round.

This year's event is more than one week long, spanning 10 days and incorporating beer festivals and tap takeovers, in a celebration of craft beer in the community.

Beer connoisseur Shane McCarthy, beer manager at Ronnie's Beverage Warehouse, founded the event last year.

The 2016 beer week was preceded by a hops tasting at Independent Brewing Company on North Main Street.

Bel Air Beer Week will be from Friday, Aug. 5, to Sunday, Aug. 14. See the full list of events. Organizers say there are more than 100 of them. Also, visit Bel Air Beer Week on Facebook.
