PokerPacker Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Build your own 6 pack at Wegmans. Got Blue Mountain's Hopwork Orange IPA, Flying Dog's Siracha Pale Ale (curious about this one), and a root beer beer whose name escapes me. Low expectations for that last one, but still interested to see the execution.Was it "Not your father's root beer"? Just picked up a six of that yesterday and haven't gotten into it yet. I imagine it could be pretty good; my brother brewed an alcoholic root beer a couple years ago that was decent (though the alcohol content was pretty low) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still sitting in my fridge, should crack it open sometime this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I wish MD allowed the sale of beer/wine in grocery stores. Â No such thing at the Wegman's up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPinstripe Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Evil Twin Lil B is an outstanding imperial porter. Best porter I have had yet, if you see it, buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I decided to crack open the root beer. They seem to have gone pretty heavy on the Vanilla in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPinstripe Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Went to the Marlyand Craft Beer Festival this past Sat in Frederick. It was really good. They had a nice set-up at the city's riverwalk-type area. Of course, the big players like Heavy Seas and Flying Dog were there and had great stuff. (For Example, Heavy Seas had Blackbeard's Breakfast - a really good coffee porter, that wasn't too rich/overpowering. Was popular & one I never had before.) There was a big roster of breweries there. Some of the other breweries that I wasn't familiar with, that had good stuff were: Monument City Brewing - They had a rye ale that was solid Union Craft Brewery So, cheers to MD Union Craft Brewing Chessie is an outstanding barleywine. Another one to buy if you see it. Wish I had gotten more than one to stash away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hmmm, that's good to know. Â I've never seen it in any of the counties up here around Bmore, so I made the incorrect assumption that it was a state thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipwhich Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I think it's worse in the south where you can't buy liquor on Sundays. In MD, you can go to a liquor store 7 days a week and purchase whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NM Is very heavily Catholic, we still have blue laws though they've been whittled down over the years to not selling liquor before noon on Sunday, so I can understand that.  Up until about 15 or 20 years ago they didn't sell on sunday at all.  We used to routinely drive to Texas to buy beer on sunday, thankful we had that option where I live.  But having special stores, with what I assume must be bad hours, bad prices and bad service, to sell booze.  Maybe it has to do with moonshine or something?  That was never a thing here.

Living near El Paso, Texas has always been, to me, more liberal than NM. Â Used to be a lower drinking age, sales on Sunday, head shops and strip clubs etc. That enlightenment ends by about Midland/Odessa till you get to the big cities. Â Â Can't say I ever suffered for fun things to do when I've visited including my share of morning red beers. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I know what you mean about kooky booze laws. Lived in Utah for 25 years. Â Moved here to Nevada,and imagine my excitement,(it's the little things in life),when I walked in to the grocery stores and realized that any time I wanted,I can go to the store and get some wine,beer,whiskey,ect. along with that rotisserie chicken. Â As I've mentioned in this thread before,there are two independent booze stores within walking distance of the house,(one specializes in wine and all kinds of craft beers),and 1 locally made wine store. Hell this time of year,from May to September,they have what is called Thirsty Third Thursday. You buy a couple of glasses,and then walk Main Street for a couple of miles and get samples of wine while visiting locally owned businesses. Won't even discuss Carson Valley days this weekend. Let's just say there's no open container law in this town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
