It’s been a long time since I posted, so here’s quickie to get me off and rolling again…
TOP FIVE BREWERIES I’M WATCHING LATELY…
Longtrail – Based out of middle Vermont where I spent most of my childhood Skiing. They’ve put together some really great brews recently. I’m especially big on their porter.
Clipper City/Heavy Seas – This one is local for me which I normally would discount, but they continue to please me with their beers. Favs include the Siren Noire and the fact that they are going to have beers at Camden Yards and I can stop drinking the swill there. Also, if you get a chance to do the brewery tour, the staff is made up of the friendliest people on earth.
Boulder – I’ve had tons of their beers on tap and in bottles and the Obovoid Oatmeal Stout in a bottle is hands down my favorite. I go out of my way for this brew and regularly stock it at home. Although I do have to say that a Flash Website sucks.
Breckenridge – So when I was actually in Breckenridge like 5 years ago for a friend’s wedding, we went here and I was unimpressed. Lately though, these have started popping up all over the mid-atlantic and I’ve given them another chance to my pleasent surprise. I suggested you do likewise.
Oliver’s – I’m not crazy about Oliver’s beers when I get them in bottles or at bars EXCEPT for at Pratt Street Alehouse. Oliver’s when it’s hand pumped, is one of my favorite things on earth. Nothing is better than Real Ale, and Oliver’s Best Bitter is one of my favorites. Look for me there prior to just about any Red Sox vs Orioles game.
