The Iron Heart Baltimore Bash - September 18, 19 & 20, 2026 (Not this year… next year. 2026)

I considered organizing a crab thing but it would be a little overwhelming for the uninitiated and it’s too expensive for those who might find it’s not for them. Happy to point you in the direction of a good place to get some though for any who are interested.

Gosh, haven't been to Baltimore in years! I may just have attend this!

@Matt born in Baltimore and grew up in Catonsville. Closer to DC now. Agree with the troubles and cost for first timers.

@Matt “how expensive could it be” I said to myself.

Then looked up Koco’s Pub

I will be getting the double

[Sage954]

Crab cakes and a bushel of steamed crabs are very different. Agree with you on the double. My order as well

'Crabs and beer a Baltimore tradition', looks like we have to do this!

Been a part of the Marylander culture for generations. My family has annual crab feasts every summer. The best part of crab picking is the "lollipop" backfin.

Crab cakes are easy. Kokos has very good crab cakes but it’s a bit outside the general area we’re in. I can see if I can find a good place closer to where we’ll be but if not and if you have transportation Kokos is a good option. I’ll see if I can put together some logistics for a steamed crab outing.

[Matt]

@Sage954 this place is closer…

Count me in for crab-feast!

[goosehd]

Years from now, we will all sit around the table telling stories of how we got crabs in Baltimore thanks to @Matt

[Sage954]

@Matt Captain James looks like a good spot. That’s a new one to me. Certainly closer

[ZackB]

@goosehd I thought we weren’t going to talk about that

[goosehd]

@ZackB …I thought about it and realized that it’s the kind of bonding experience that brings us all together…

[ZackB]

@goosehd haha I suppose it might. Might need to change my username first.

[goosehd]

@ZackB crab wrangler?? It is a denim forum

[ZackB]

@goosehd absolutely not
