The Baltimore Museum of Industry houses exhibits dedicated to local-turned-national heavyweights such as McCormick and Domino Sugar, but tonight the BMI hosts an event focused solely on the uber-local. Baltimore beer pioneer and Heavy Seas brewery founder Hugh Sisson (pictured) teams up with Whiskey Island’s founder, Mick “the Pirate” Kipp, for a beer-and-food tasting. Sisson, who also co-hosts WYPR’s Cellar Notes, serves up five Heavy Seas brews while CP’s 2004 “Best Pirate” pairs signature dishes with the savory suds. Enjoy the flavors of locally sourced and produced dishes, like a baked apple medley with a beer-infused cream sauce paired with Winter Storm, or the veggie chili paired with Loose Cannon. Sisson and Kipp will also explain the processes of brewing and pairing. Give your local watering hole a break and spend a night taking in what makes Bmore great. (Brandon Parker)
