As if the snake isn’t scary enough, he’s drinking Bud Light too.

Serves him right for drinking bad beer.

Full Moon Café & Brewery

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Sep 2nd, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

A few months ago I was in a local grocery store and I saw a guy wearing a t-shirt from the Full Moon Brewery in Manteo, NC. I’d never heard of it, and since we were planning a trip to the Outer Banks, I made a note to find out more. The small restauran…



Outer Banks Brewing Station

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Aug 31st, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

What’s a vacation in the Outer Banks without a stop at the Outer Banks Brewing Station? At least for us, it’s a required stop. This trip we opted to avoid the usual dinner crowds and stopped in for a late lunch. Four beers were listed on the beer menu;…

If I’m not tracking down Maryland beers in North Caroline, I try to stick with local beers when visiting. Another new to me beer I tried out during our trip was Endless River Kölsch, from Mother Earth Brewing.

Endless River Kölsh-style A…



Red Sky At Night

Nope, not a post about a picturesque sunset. I’m talking about the tasty Saison from Baltimore’s Heavy Seas Brewing. Red Sky At Night is a favorite of ours, but one that’s been an elusive libation. Last year the brewer was only able to brew a limited q…
