Idk if anyone else has tried this but I had the Oyster Stout from Flying Dog at the tailgate yesterday and I didn't enjoy it at all. Tasted like chocolate coffee beer. Other than that the rest of the Flying Dog variety pack was great though.

Went to Asheville, NC for a wedding this weekend. On Friday we stopped in Harrisonburg, VA for some eats and grabbed a Pale Fire double IPA. I have to admit up until that point I have been less than impressed with VAs craft brews but that was a solid IPA. When we got to Asheville went straight for Greenman Brewing my wife had the IPA and I had the ESB (not a beer we get a lot of in Maryland and I love them) both really good. Had a Catawba Brown Bear Ale that was alright but not hoppy enough for me. Next we went to Wicked Weed tried a few of their IPAs the best we had was their Freak of Nature that my wife tried. The next day off to Hi-Wire that also was a really solid IPA. Unfortunately the wedding got in our way of more brewery touring.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

i liked the breakfast stout, def one of the better stouts/porters i have had but i found the flavor profile to be really mellow. which is good. i liked it, i thought i was going to love it.

i did love kentucky bourbon barrel stout "alltech".

If anyone is ever in Santa Cruz California you have to go here n try the smoked porter. Probably the best beer i have ever had.

A ton. [url=http://www.pisgahbrewing.com]Pisgah Brewing[/url] Pisgah brewery was probably my favorite.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Yeah to piggyback on what Chico said there are over 60+ breweries in the area and several transplant breweries such as Sierra Nevada, Oskar Blues and soon New Belgium. The people are fun, music is great and just as good as the beer imo.

Yeah their oyster stout is just ok. My favorite oyster stout of all time was by 21st Amendment called Marooned on Hog Island. So much tasty brine in that. But it was a one time thing.

Celebration ale is hitting shelves soon, it's a great time of the year for beer

I was looking for it but sadly I don't think that it is wide distribution.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

I was mistaken. Looks like its hitting the shelves today and tomorrow. Bottled on 10/26. I know for sure K-1 in Arlington has it.

Two IPA's I've been loving lately and left me wondering how I didn't discover them sooner... Westbrook & Ballast Point Sculpin.
