I second this. We stopped in at the 2nd leg of our bike trip from Cumberland to DC along the C&O. Beer was a much need respite from our journey, and I got drunk enough to bid (and win) a large framed picture of a deer.

My wife was not pleased with my antics.

Live in San Diego. Staying at the Westin in Tucson for vacation. Gas is like $2.50 a gallon and you can get a 6 pack of IPA's at a Circle K for only $9.99. Bought 2 local beers and both are pretty good. I like Arizona.

SanTan Hopshock is a beer I can have on a regular basis.

Abraxas is out and about. One of my favorites.

I was doing some research. I want to brew some Belgium style beers so I grabbed New Belgium's Trippel 8.5% malty, clear with subtle hops. Drank a bottle everyday. First one I tried said it was not for me by the time I got to the third day I began to appreciate it more. If you want to try something outside of a traditional english style beer like an IPA this was pretty good.

Also went back to the first IPA I ever had Dogfish 60 minute. Tasted fantastic. Great hop balance. On a side I know over the last 20 years the craft industry has really pushed the boundary on hops. I would love to taste a 60 minute from 20 years ago to see how the flavor has changed to evolve with the competition.

Funny I just picked up a sixer of 60 minute recently, haven't had it in a while but it's so tasty

Sadly one of the Breweries that I like from up in New England has closed due to the pandemic ,it seems I might not get to make my yearly beer run this fall.

I'm bored out of my mind right now. Not ready for sleep.

If you could only have 1 beer (doesn't even have to be beer) for the rest of your life, what would it be? Doesn't even have to be in business anymore. The only qualifications are: it has alcohol and you've had at least 1 of them.

Mine is the Alesmith .394 (the Tony Gwynn beer) pale ale. If Jager bombs were sustainable, that would be up there too.

Today was bottling day for me. I brewed an American Pale Ale for 4th of July. Had a few hops left over from other recipes and threw together a recipe of all US sourced ingredients. Wasn't sure if it would turn out well but turned out pretty good a bit more hoppy than a traditional pale ale. I am guessing the bottles will fly at our "neighborhood" 4th celebration.

Currently drinking a Leinenkugel Summer Shandy while tubing down the river. That is a refreshing wheat beer on a warm day.

Like literally drinking a beer, tubing down the river and posting this? Got the six pack cooling in the water with a string on it tied to your toe?

Fucking jealous. I award you the "YOLO!!" badge.

Six pack was tied to the tube. I did have to wait till I had cell phone reception it is a bit spotty where I live.

I love driving up 83 past where you live. its goes from Baltimore City to nice country real quick. I imagine Cockeysville is blowing up. seemed like that was country 10 years ago.

[BaltimoreSkins]

You know I have lived here for so long it is hard for me to recognize the year to year changes that occur. Cockeysville is always so busy it is easier to get to Towson that to fight York rd down there. I am pretty fortunate. I work less than 3 miles from my home, have the Gunpowder State Park less than a mile, the NCR trail is 10 minutes away.

Back to the topic at hand Cockeysville has a good new brewery in Hunt Valley called BC Brewery and their street tacos are great.
