[quote=BaltimoreSkins;1232589]I played hooky today and went mountain biking at patapsco valley state park. Stopped at ellicott mills brewery for lunch had their pumpkin ale and then a flight with their Oktoberfest, Dunkel, pale ale and IPA. Definitely worth a trip[/quote]

Carpe diem my friend! Squeeze life every chance you get, its later than you think. I think I had the sun on my face for a total of 1 minute today as I crossed the street before being re-engulfed by the shadows of tall office buildings. I lived a little bit just dreaming of riding a bike through a trail, feeling the slightly crisp fall air hitting my face, then finishing with a flight. Well done.

I need to check our Black Flag, Hysteria and Ellicott Mills.

Olde Mother had a really nice BA sour that I had a few weeks ago. Outstanding, expensive at like $16 plus for bottle but worth it.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

The beer I liked the best in my travels was Rattlesnake IPA at the Big Texan Brewery which is part of the Big Texan Steak House in Amarillo, Texas. I stopped in there 3 times when making multiple trips across the USA when moving from Cali to Virginia 8 years ago. Looks like their brewery just opened when I first stopped in. Unfortunately they weren't canning or bottling it so no take outs.

If you can ever get up there, it's a freaking GORGEOUS brewery. Beer good and atmosphere is even better:

Not sure. Id read through beer advocates forums, they have regions that locals talk about local beers and breweries etc.

I bought that Wicked Weed variety stout 4 pack .. I drank 2 ... I had the biggest constant farts like all day. Im sacred to drink the other 2.

CBS bombers and 4 packs ($25) on shelves in MD, no limit. I honestly prefer:

breakfast stout > KBS > CBS

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.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Abraxas is out and about. One of my favorites.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

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.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

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.
