On Sept 14 and 15th DuClaw brewery in Belair, MD will be having a release party for their scottish ale, Twisted Kilt. I was planning on going, and thought, hey, if anyone in the area wanted to show up kilted along with me, maybe we could make a showing (and maybe the management would be so impressed as to come 'advertizing' their beer we'd get a free round?).

For those unfamiliar it's an excellent brewpub, voted #36 in the WORLD on a recent web poll with 4 of their beers ranking in the top 10 in MD. Every month they release a new seasonal brew and have a party with giveaways, usually a Tshirt or a glass customized for that month's brew.

Last year's tshirt WOULD have been cool but on the front it says "GRAB SOME SKIRT" and as much as I like being kilted, and as much as I like DuClaw's beer, I'm not wearing something that helps further the idea that the kilt is a skirt. I have enough problems with my wife telling me my black UK original looks like a skirt. I guess all the snaps and buckles and cargo pockets are girly looking. ;)

So I was planning on going, anyone else in the area up for it? DuClaw has 3 locations, Belair, Fells Point, and Arundel Mills Mall. I'm closer to Belair, but I'd drive to one of the others if thats where more people would be.
