Beerneuring Freezing Saddles Side Bet is Back!

8 and 9, in Baltimore where I went for the Bikemore Family Open House.

Was not super impressed with the choices available, #problems.


Old Oriole Park Beer Stout. It was a stout at noon. Fine by me!


Peabody Heights Brewery Mocha Obscuro. Dark and delicious.

Corruption yesterday at Duffy's.

Nice picture but doesn't count. The beer must be enjoyed where it was brewed. The rules are at the beginning of this thread.

No worries. Not really playing. Just wanted to post a beer pic.

More adventures in beerneuring.

2/17 - Passed by Anxo on the way home. Had been meaning to try out this Basque style cidery for a while but it's always packed. I managed to snag a seat at the bar and got one of the dry ones, Farnum Hill, to try. Not bad, more like wine. I prefer the sweet ones like the Millstone which you can get at Whole Foods.



Here's a shot of their giant barrel.



2/19 - Dropped by Atlas Brewery. On my way there, ran into some girls selling girl scout cookies. I couldn't resist stocking up and contemplated which ones would go well with my flight. I started with Hank's Hops, a pale ale collaboration with Hank's Oyster which you can only get there, another pale ale called Dance of Days, and Emprosator a doppelbock with a hint of coffee. Enjoyed them all. Later the bartender gave me some saison to sample, both the winter La Saison de Brett and their regular La Saison des Fetes as pictured. Not usually a saison person but the winter saison with the additional herbs and fruits blew me away. The samoas would have gone well with either of them.



In case you've never been there before, check out their bathroom. Leaving no kegs unused!

Is that their bathroom or where Coors brews Keystone Light?

I dare not ask!

Hellbender flight:
Ignite IPA
North x Northeast
Grampus
Groundskeeper Islay Scotch Ale

So, Hellbender has come a long way since they opened. Last year they were super nice with very mediocre beer. This year they were super nice with pretty decent beer. This is a good direction.

I forgot to write down what this was. It was good. Not as good as their double IPA that the wife got, but good.

I have NEVER been here when it wasn't mobbed. Maybe sjclaeys has some sort of magic. This was the coffee-infused Haxan. It was quite pleasant. Even the wife, who doesn't like dark beers, enjoyed a taste.
