We headed over to Red Drum Tap House for dinner one evening while in the Outer Banks. I like this stop as they have a decent selection of North Carolina beers AND a seafood menu. Upon entering I noticed one of the specials was a Crab Cake platter, so m…

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…

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…

We travelled alongside this guy on our way to the beach last week. I’ll bet his car gets photographed a lot. (By friend and foe.)

This Thursday saw another tap takeover at Capital Ale House in Fredericksburg. New Belgium Brewing Company was the featured brewery this week. As I read the descriptions of the six beers I was struck by the out-of-the-ordinary selections…



North Mountain USPSA Match

It was still dark when the alarm went off Sunday morning. I could hear the sound of heavy rain falling, and I was sorely tempted to roll over and go back to sleep. But, I was signed up for the North Mountain Practical Shooters match, and if they were g…

Stay Safe, Drink Craft Beer

We’ve heard a lot about the health benefits of beer, especially craft beer. Now, a Johns Hopkins study shows that your chances of ending up in the emergency room might be related to what beer you drink. It seems that factory beers are popular among ER …
