Let's talk good beer

Punch -- thats good living right there. Porch sitting on a quiet neighborhood street on a Friday night drinking Heady and partaking. I read an article form the Alchemist guy and its unusual he says drink of out a can. I like pouring into my various glasses.

Expedition Stout - should be in MD any day now, I hope. Last year they did a BA batch as well. Every year I try and "cellar" expedition and it never makes its past winter.


Yeah I listen to the man. No glass. I do prefer a glass but i follow the rules! Lol

KBS cinnamon vanilla cocoa .. do not get.

When I saw it I couldnt understand why cinnamon or vanilla would be a good idea but I trusted Founders to not make such a shitty decision on one of their flagship beers.

It is horrible. After the first sip I almost poured it out. I can still taste it the next day.

Im going to hide the remaining 3 bottles in my basement somewhere in case there is a zombie apocalypse and I completely run out of all other beers .. and then maybe. But probably not.


I bought a milk stout- forget what. Was about a year ago. Had one sip. Poured it down the drain. The other three were in the fridge for a few weeks and went in the recycle can. Felt bad giving it to someone. It was atrocious. Tasted like throw uo in a can. Live and learn. I wish i could remember the name to warn you all.

Heady looks like shit in a glass. Lots of floaties and chunks. Definately a unicorn and is one of the OG hazy ipas.

Seriously if your Beer /Ale has "floaties and chunks" it's at the point of skunk beer and all beer gets that way when it gets old and goes out of date . Try some fresh stuff.

heady is unfiltered so that's going to happen, doesn't have anything to do with it going bad

Really ? I'll admit to never having tried it .I 've had none filtered beers before but never had "chunks" in a beer. The floaties I've seen are usually yeast after the beer has turned from age or light .

There's always a bit of sediment at the bottom of an unfiltered beer. Switchback is a good example.

Found an amazing NE pale ale ... Cushwa Fog at Daybreak. Im sure it will be a one batch thing like every beer Cushwa/Aslin/OH etc make.

I want to be able to buy this every weekend. These one batch brewing approach kills me. I drop $20 all the time on beers ive never tried and some are good some are just okay .. finally find a gem but know it wont be around again.

Reminded me of Sip o Sunshine, not as good but it reminded me of it with its touch of lemon

So good.

Sip of Sunshine is solid. Very solid.

So this might have already been mentioned...but I just wanted to give a quick 'shout-out' to Port City Brewing. https://www.portcitybrewing.com/

I am currently living in Alexandria VA, a few months ago I decided to give it a try. The type I see in the stores most frequently is the Monumental IPA, so that is the one I initially purchased. Even though I am not that big on IPAs, I did enjoy it.

I just recently found out that Port City brews several different types of beers. When I saw the Helles German Lager this summer, I bought it and I really liked it!

This October I had the Port City Brewing Oktoberfest Lager at a local restaurant (I think it might have been a local Glory Days) and I really enjoyed it too!

Personally I am planning on considering a visit to the Port City Brewing headquarters.

3950 Wheeler Ave.
Alexandria, Virginia 22304


As for another local brewery that I like is Cabbose Brewery that is headquartered in Merrifield VA near Tysons VA.

Bought a couple more 4 packs of that Fog at Daybreak ... not as good. Probably bc the first time I wasnt expecting much and it beat expectations. Second time I had high expectations and it didnt meet it. I know understand the 85 rating on BA

Port City - they won a Big national beer award for one of their flagship beers a few years ago. Havent seen much of them in Howard County.
