Weekly Update...

I just returned from a mini vacation in Montross, Va. It's basically where the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay meet on the Va side. As stated before, I was in search of a beer with strong malt character and that was in cans. Boy did I ever find one. One of the guys at Breski's Beer Distributor suggested I try Dunkel Lager by Slyfox. Score!! Top notch beer with tons of malt character, a good balance of hops, in cans for a decent price.

I hear they have quite the selection of good beers. One that rivals their neighbor Victory. All I know is that was the right beer for the right situation and I will definitely get it again. 

It was a good beer weekend all around. We enjoyed a sixtel of Troeg's Hopback Amber Ale which I really enjoyed (as I usually do) and a few cases of my guilty pleasure, Natty Boh (aka National Bohemian). I grew up around people drinking Natty Boh and it is the beer that comes to mind when someine says "macro brew". We were enjoying it in true Maryland Style by topping it off with a few shakes of the Old Bay tin. A great combination of two true Maryland legends. Best drank at the shore or at an O's game. 

I am still working on that mash tun cooler conversion and my bourbon stout is almost done fermenting, so I will be posting again soon. Until then, eat, drink, and be merry.
