Let's talk good beer

tried out the sam adams noble pils, not too bad at all.. went great with pizza to wash it down

also had a few of the rj rockers mix pack.. interesting stuff, not bad at all.. was very chilled when we got it, flavors came out much better after being brought closer to room temp, especially the peach one

Abita jockamo IPA was exellent. The best IPA I've ever tried.

My wife loves wheat beers, so someone brought Sam Adams Coastal Wheat to the house last weekend for her birthday. I had the last 2 last night. Very smooth, light beer that goes down quite nicely. Similar to hoegaarden, but with more lemon flavor.

These guys have made a name for themselves on the Delmarva Shore (hon), and are slowly creeping to the west side of the bay:

:::EVOLUTION CRAFT BREWING COMPANY:::

I have yet to try any of their beers, but if you see them on tap at your local watering hole, give them a try.

dogfish Aprihop is pretty decent can't really taste the apricot but it adds something quite nice to an ipa

Yeah they actually reformulated it this year because they thought that it had gotten too apricoty/sweet compared to when they first introduced it. I've only had it once but it was pretty clearly containing the apricot flavor. I'd be interested in trying it now that it's supposed to be more low key.

Speaking of Dogfish Head, they just hired a new brewmaster:

Didn't see that, man has quite the resume.

Speaking of Dogfish Head, my parents just bought a place down at the beach and their next door neighbor works at the brewery. Dad came back this past weekend with a case of 60 Minute IPA that she gave him...so I'm going to have to develop some rapport with her as well.

Looking forward to going to the restaurant this year on my vacation to the shore.

Food's decent, but the beer and booze seal the deal. If you have the time, or if it's a crappy weather day, head up to the brewery. Great little tour and now that the expansion is done, I would presume the bocce courts have been reinstalled.

Very nice. Good to have friends in beer places.

Had Wells Banana Bread, man I love banana bread so that was awesome

Friend picked up some Raison D'Extra (like the Raison D'Etre but this one is 18% ABV) by DFH but I didn't get a chance to try it.
