This was a tough call. In the 10 minutes it took me to come up with the top eight Greatest Things of 2010, two of those minutes were spent deciding between number one and number two. Both are great moments in the history of SFB.
The number two Greatest Thing of 2010 was Baltimore Beer Week in general but specifically SFB’s participation in the Homebrew Competion at Little Havana. This was our first in-person competition and our beers placed like this was our first in-person competition (almost last).
It was fun to be on the other side of the table for once, serving instead of consuming. I learned a lot about how my home brewing skills stack up against others in the area and a little more about the home brewing community that I pretend doesn’t exist.
I am already looking forward to next year’s Baltimore Beer Week and another shot at the homebrew competion.
