[QUOTE=BDBohnzie;1130804]Jailbreak is awesome. Welcome to Scoville is good. The pepper flavor doesn't linger like other pepper beers. Their DIPA, Big Punisher, is good. Their rye ale is good too.



Not too far from there is [URL="http://victoriagastropub.com/"]Victoria's Gastro Pub[/URL], which slings beers from Manor Hill Brewery, among others. One of the better Imperial IPAs in Maryland hails from Manor Hill (Citra Splendor).



@MTK - Happy Hunting. Local place where I got mine got in 2 cases and was sold before it hit the shelves.[/QUOTE]


Damn, I might be better off calling around then. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

had to go to the dentist, his office is a few blocks from Rodmans. what a delightful experience. this is my 3rd or 4th time there and it is by far the best selection imo for the hard to find beers.

got some stone enjoy by 12.25.15, double duckpin cans w dob of 11-27-15 and 2 bottles of MO w dob 11.17.15.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Nice scores.

Got together with 2 of my buddies last night and had a bunch of different things. 2 that stood out to me were [URL="http://www.madsciencebrewing.com/#!beers/clg4"]Mad Science Black Death[/URL], a Black IPA that drank more like a hoppy stout, and [URL="http://www.hardywood.com/content/hardywood-gingerbread-stout"]Hardywood Gingerbread Stout[/URL], which drank like a gingerbread cookie. Not surprising because it's a milk stout, but it was awesome.

I'm definitely gonna seek out more stuff by Hardywood. If they put half the love into their other beers as they did that Gingerbread Stout, it'll be worth it.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

So crazy you have to go to the brewery to get that stuff. It really is an amazing beer.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Case of Surly Abrasive coming tomorrow. Super pumped.

I have a solution for you....stop

Even if don't like it, I have to finish it...sometimes a beer will be better by the time I finish...pallet adjust and will get the full flavor. Not this one. I grew up on Guinness stout, Black and Tans...

Have moved on to bells third coast ale. Really impressed..bells does it again...this drinks like a strong ale with a fuller body along with the punch. Kinda step out of my comfort zone with beer choices tonight.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Brought a sixer of some Stone enjoy by 12.25.15 to a friend's place tonight, he returned serve with some Pappy 12 year... Good night

Damn, nice trade off.

Had a couple stop by last night and got turned on to Smartmouth Rule G out of Norfolk. I've been critical of va breweries not bringing enough dankness, but this rule g IPA is a keeper. Complex, balance and Damn hoppy...I just looked it up 88 ibu. That's high.

Even though I shit on Oskar Blues death by coconut, let me say this...Oskar Blues IPA is in my rotation right now as my favorite beer. The next beer you must try is this...really light body and the hops combination is something I've never had...reminds me a little of the floralness of heavy seas, but has a sweet blueberry finish. It's a must try, pour it in a glass

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Oskar Blues Old Chub... love that stuff

Also got a sixer of Ballast Point Victory at Sea coffee and vanilla porter yesterday, very good. Really smooth for 10% abv.

I think old chub is just ok...this is the new one which was released I believe just this summer, here is a review:

Definitely not a typical IPA

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

I'll definitely check out that IPA, thanks
