Sneak Peek at Pipe the Side

One of the really fun things about the evolution of Two Sides to the Story is watching and experiencing our growing web of connections. Today we stretched the web a little further. Hampstead, Maryland is the home of Pipe the Side Brewing Company. I’ve been there a few times and Lory and I went there once scouting out podcast episode possibilities.

For some time, Pipe the Side has been drawing our attention. Clearly, brewing beer is just part of who they are. They are putting a big effort into being part of the community, and important for Two Sides, becoming part of the reading community.

Pipe the Side is building a relationship with the North Carroll Branch of the Carroll County Public Library. They are hosting a series of book discussions, and today they had a book swap. Lory and I attended. We left more books than we took. We hope some of our books will end up in the hands of readers who will enjoy them.

Owners Tim and Carol are making a big effort to be a part of the community. Lory and I really admire what they are doing and want to support their efforts. We talked with Carol today about doing an interview with them. We don’t have anything scheduled yet, but it is going to happen. We are going to talk books and beer with Pipe the Side. Stay tuned.
