Plan to be early for Max's Belgian fest ... in 2009!

Not being able to attend Max's 72 Hours of Belgium beer festival this past weekend, I followed it in progress over at Beer in Baltimore. Today—the festival finished—blogger Alexander D. Mitchell IV has reported that there is yet some residual draft, and without the crowds.

A friend—who attended on Friday, the fest's first day—told me:

Max's was fabulous as always. Way, way more crowded at the start than the past few years. We usually get there Friday about 11:30 and have our choice of seats in the empty pub. This time the downstairs was jammed. There was a long line when they opened. Max's is a victim of its own success.
