    Bertha's in Fells Point (Baltimore) serves a cask conditioned ale
produced by the British Brewing Co, makers of Oxford Class ale and Brixton
Stout.  The keg sits on the counter behind the bar and has a simple
petcock type tap (gravity feed).  Sunday's batch was excellent.
    Bertha's also has Pilsner Urquell on tap and an excellent wheat
brew from the Baltimore Brewing Co. (a local brewpub.).
