Pyrates, Pigs and Pints

In the neverending quest to do cool things with cool people, my friend Tyler and I stumbled upon an amazing event: Pyrates, Pigs and Pints. It is an annual event hosted by Heavy Seas Brewery in Baltimore, MD, makers of the most amazing beer in the world: Great'er Pumpkin Ale. The event is hosted inside the brewery, features bacon dishes made by around 15 different local restaurants and beers from the brewery. The $45 admission was a ticket for all you can eat and drink for four hours. Tyler and I tapped out, with full stomachs, at the 2.5 hour mark. It was an amazing concept, and a cool way to try new food and beers. We even sat down and had a great conversation with the owner of the brewery. Nice guy.

(Each restaurant had a table like this, where they were serving sample sized plates of their bacon dish. This restaurant had bacon lasagna, and bacon that was coated in chili and cocoa powder and then fried. Delicious.

(Bacon lasagna on the left, choco bacon on the right.)

(Heavy Seas beer with Bacon Wrapped Crab Dip. Yumm.)

(Several different bacon dishes, down the line. Do you see the sign for "food of the gods?")

(From L to R: Bacon and Beans, Bacon Wrapped Scallops and Bacon Chili.)

(Massive amounts of bacon on the grill.)

(Outside of the brewery. FULL.)

(Capital Beer and Bacon Bash: Our tickets have been purchased and we will do it again!)
