Sculpin is the bomb. Only had the OG, haven't had their favors. A local MD brewery did their take on it call Nanticoke Nectar. Even did grapefruit and habanero versions as well. I haven't had Westbrook's IPA but their Gose is nice and tart. I have another friend who's daughter goes to school in SC. I'll have to have him bring me some, since they only distribute in SC, NC, GA, AL, and NY.

DTC on friday is tapping a keg of Maine's another one and will be pouring glasses only of firestones helldorado.

i looked up helldorado and it is am american barleywine at 13.2% abv. sucks bc that sounds like something id love to slowly sip in front of my tv vs having to drink on my way home from work.

just read, $7 for a 4 oz pour .... the prices are getting ridiculous. at some point we have to push back. im still pissed i spent $23 some odd bucks for a sixer of secret sauce which ended up being a watered down dipa.

life is so tough.

BDBohnzie · 11-03-2015, 12:42 PM

My buddy said Toaster Pastry was good. I may have to grab a can.

Nothing new from me. Just enjoying my Born Yesterdays, and will have a ChopDank and a few chocolate stouts this weekend.

Chico23231 · 11-06-2015, 08:38 PM

Growler of great divide fresh hop pale ale. This stuff is always bomb ass sh8t

Picked up a couple double d ipa from old dominion just to try. Hey I can't resist double d's

BDBohnzie · 11-08-2015, 10:50 PM

Grabbed a few stouts for International Stout Day on Thursday. 4 Hands Chocolate Milk Stout is quite tasty. Also got a 4 pack of OB Ten Fidy, which is in another world man. So thick pouring yet a luscious mouth feel.

Went to White Oak Tavern in Ellicott City on Friday night. Not quite 40 taps, had some cool stuff, some boring stuff, some weird stuff. Interesting thing was all drafts were the same price, they just changed the pour size. Some were 16, some were 12, 10, 8, etc.

Weirdest was an imperial marzen they decided to put on nitro. Marzens are supposed to be light and drinkable. This was thick and had a strange after taste. Felt like you could cut it in chunks. The head stayed throughout the beer.

I had a good beer weekend.

growler of clown shoes galatica - always good.

port city's monumental ipa - as my easy drinker beer. really need to get some 51 rye, at 6% its a tasty beer with a manageable abv for sundays. kinda hurting today.

rar grapefruit nectar - really grapefruity. pretty good. not sure i could drink more than a few at a time.

21st amend ipa - super super fresh, had to buy it.

founders breakfast stout - love having a stash of this in the basement and remembering i have a stash of this in the basement.

maines MO - real fresh, real citrusy clean. not my fav Maine selection, but its hard to pass up on a bottle of anything from them bc you only see a bottle or 2 every other month.

i need to get some GD farmhouse ale or a saison or something lighter.

over the mountain · 11-11-2015, 10:27 AM

maine lunch should be on MD shelves today.
--------

no lunch so far. guy at fenwick sd he has been waiting 2 weeks and was told it would arrive yesterday but didnt.

he did get "tiny something beautiful" w dobs of 10-31-15. this is one my new fav beers. easy drinking pale ale.

rodmans in DC right across the MD line from bethesda - full selection from founders, deschutes, bells, avery ... i love being on the DC line bc you can just hop over and get a whole new selection

Chico23231 · 11-13-2015, 10:36 AM
