Raise a Pint for Poe
Another Baltimorean steps up to help save the Edgar Allan Poe House on Amity Street from closure.
On Tuesday, Oct. 11, Stephen Demczuk—local brewmaster and creator of Raven Lager—will host "Pints for Poe" in Highlandtown.
The event will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Creative Alliance, housed in the old Patterson Theater at 3134 Eastern Ave.
"Pints for Poe" is a "pay as you go" tasting event with an opportunity to sample a wide range of local brews. Proceeds will go to save the Poe House from city budget cuts.
Each participant will receive a pint glass adorned with either the poet's face or the image of a raven.
Poe himself—no stranger to an ale—is expected to make a cameo.
For more information, call the Creative Alliance at 410-276-1651
