Heavy Seas is quickly climbing the ranks of my favorite breweries. LOVED Siren Noire.

If you're ever in Baltimore, feel free to head straight to the source. Heavy Seas Alehouse

Their food is pretty good as well.

Seriously planning lodging for my next work trip to Baltimore around Capt. James Crabhouse and Heavy Seas Alehouse. Was introduced last year and immediately requested the same run at the beggining of our travel schedule next year. All you can eat crabs and Heavy Seas' IPA, Loose Cannon I think, have been calling my name.

Sadly or happily in my mind. My first two trips revolve around local craft brews. First is to N. CA to go to Russian River Brewing to get my hands on some Pliny the Elder. If the birth of my 4th child didn't get in the way wanted to go next month to get some Pliny the Younger while it's available. Next year.

Thanks for the tip. We absolutely will. And next time you find yourself in the midde of bum-f-nowhere, MY favorite brewery about 4 hours south, Devils Backbone Brewing Company - Menu.

Anything smoked there is good.

For a hoppy beer, it's really mild on the palette.

It comes in both but I had cans.

Speaking of Heavy Seas, before heading to the alehouse, hit up the brewery. Try to reserve a tour when the founder Hugh Sisson is giving it. He's a trip. I need to go back now that they've built a new tap room and finished their expansion.

And speaking of Flying Dog, a buddy and I ran over there Saturday afternoon and each grabbed a growler of Single Hop El Dorado | Flying Dog Brewery. It was delicious. For as hoppy as it was, it was a good drinking beer. Which is dangerous considering its ABV.

Spent a long weekend in Charleston for a wedding and tried 2 local beers:

Coast HopArt IPA - Great tasting IPA. Went very well with one of the best burgers I've ever had at Poe's Tavern - Sullivan's Island, Charleston, SC | Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville, FL.

Westbrook IPA - Another great tasting IPA. Wasn't as bitter, but the floral notes came out nicely

The two beers at the wedding were New Belgium's Fat Tire and Sweetwater 420. The 420 is a west coast pale ale that was quite tasty. Went great with the food we had there.

I've had a few varieties of Sweetwater when I've been in the south. They make some quality brews.

We used to get Sweetwater 420 here in Va, but there was some sort of dispute with some crappy chain resturant up in northern-effing-Va named Sweetwater Tavern, something with the name. Because of the dispute Sweetwater isnt allowed to distribute in the commonwealth anymore, but that is a damn fine beer, really good. I find it now in the Outer Banks and always pick up a sixer. Their LowRyeder IPA is super slamin too.

Always wanted to try their Dank Tank series:SweetWater Dank Tank Series | SweetWater Brewing CompanySweetWater Brewing Company the Fresh Sticky Nugs beer looks good
