Ever try Newcastle Brown Ale on draft? I like it.

I haven’t seen Newcastle Brown Ale on draft here, I’ll have to check it out!

Greetings from Smithfield, VA, home of the Smithfield Ham. Got lucky on finding this brewery/restaurant right in the downtown area. Very cool town in the Isle of Wight, lots of huge Victorian homes and historic sites. I did a Sampler to go with dinner, 3 Ales and a Hefe, deeeeeeeeeeelicious.

The brown and red ales sure look good.

It’s nice that most towns have a brewery or two now. My home town has two or three breweries within about 5 miles of my house. I don’t like all the beers that they create but I always manage to find one or two that hit the spot!
The samplers (or flights as they’re called here) are a great way to find great beers. They’re usually very inexpensive and there’s just enough beer in those sample glasses to get you interested.

Well guys, this is a new one even by my standards. From The Veil in Richmond, VA, my brother just picked this up en route to Corolla. It definitely has beer characteristics but a grape finish. Very smooth and a sour.

Buy wait, there's more. Another The Veil brew and equally interesting. I'm a big fan of sours and I think this one is better than the grape one.

Looks interesting John, but as a general rule I don’t care for fruit in my beer. Tried one the other day from a Houston outfit called Karbach Brewery, that had so much citrus in it I couldn’t drink it. First time in my life I ever threw away a beer!

On the other hand I enjoyed this with dinner tonight. Really good beer!

Yes sir.
My buddy's grandson brought it up for me.
He is in the Marine Corps. Stationed in NC.

Cherry Point?
Camp LeJeune?
New River?
Parris Island?

I was stationed at Cherry Point in '64-'65. Not important, it just piqued my curiosity.

9/11 screwed up so many things. Before 9/11, when I would return from the Philadelphia area, my carry on would be a case of Yuengling Traditional Lager. Had many positive comments on it.

Life's a beach @ Corolla, NC.

Overcast in the low 80's but nice and a decent crowd.

Went out to lunch today with my wife and daughter to a place called the Octopus Beer Garden. The place is right on the waterfront of the Clinton River. In the old days this was one of the most polluted waterway in Michigan. But it seems to be making a comeback.
We ordered the soft pretzel bites with beer cheese dipping sauce, deep fried cheese curds with two different dipping sauces and a cheesesteak sandwich with beer cheese sauce. Everything was pretty darn good!
To wash it all down I went with the Hell or High Watermelon Wheat Beer 4.9% ABV, it was outstanding.
I only took one picture:

An enjoyable day!

I had a look at their menu. Prices seem reasonable, so I'm contemplating a visit when I celebrate another trip around the sun next month.

Nice, John.

Not so terrible on a warm Summer day by the pool.

I was out opening ditches and breakers in the rain, but the rain picked up to the point I decided to call it a day. This seems like a fitting brew.

Two years ago today, the now missus and I toured the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin.

It was terrible.
