Oliver's ales are also available at the Wharf Rat by Camden Yards (where they're brewed), and I assume also at the Wharf Rat in Fells Point.

According to the website they will be open again in October. In addition to the aforementioned places, Frisco's in Columbia has a hand engine and seems to regularly feature an Oliver's cask conditioned ales. Frisco's has a better beer selection then most places, but frankly that is about the only thing going for it.
