Exciting news from Union.  At this point, these guys might be my #1 brewery in the state!

Good for them. Love their beer and they seem like really cool guys.

It's been a while since this thread has been updated, so I'll mention two(both local) excellent summer time beers I've had recently.

 

First up,  Denizens "Born Bohemian Chech-Style Pilsner"

 

Next, Antietam's "Hager-Weiss Hefeweizen"   This is a fantastic unfiltered that might be my most liked Hefe since having Dc Braus version.

Antietam looks to have a bunch of brews from my favorite styles, so I'm looking forward to trying out some of their other beers.

Dogfish Head World Wide Stout. Expensive for just a 12oz bottle, but damn if this ain't one of the best beers I've ever had. Bought up a handful of the limited supply at my local spot, aging one of em.

They also just made a version with vanilla bean added and aged in oak, it's crazy!

I have a 10 year bottle of Below Decks that I plan on drinking next month with my wife for our 10 year wedding anniversary.

Ya the vanilla oak barrel aged one is what I had. Delicious!

New craft brewery to open in Bel Air

A billion bottles of beer: Nowhere in the nation brews more craft beer than Pa.

 

Every year, Pennsylvania brews enough craft beer to get the entire nation drunk. Twice.

 

Over a billion bottles of beer are produced in the state, according to data from Brewers Association. That's enough to give every American over the age of 21 over six drinks.

 

In a niche industry — which still only accounts for about 12 percent of U.S. beer sales, according to Brewers Association data — that's a lot of beer.

The cold pressed pumpking is really good.

I'll be in Easton, PA in a few weeks for a bacon festival...home of Weyerbacher...yeah it'll be a good time.

Busted out the homebrew equipment for the first time in at least a year or two this past weekend.  Brewed myself a porter, should be ready to go by the holidays.

I had the Jack O Lantern Punpkin ale for the first time last week.  Its sweet but damn its good.

So far have made it through without one pumpkin beer. 

 

Feel pretty good.

I've had a small pour of that beer. Very good, but I wouldn't pay the price.

I had a taste of Utopias at a Beer Exchange in '09.  Rob Kasper mentioned it in his beer blog.  Don't remember much about it (pretty buzzed at the time) but I thought it was awesome to be able to try it!

Had a Belgian beer called Tripel Karmeliet last night.  It was very good.

Picked up some 1605 Red from Antietam over the weekend.  I'm assuming the beer was skunk otherwise that's the worst tasting Red I've ever had.  Kind of surprised about this because I've had a couple of their brews before that I've really liked not sure what happened on this brew (batch).

DuClaw did a collab with another brewery on a Belgian Quad called Oude Rode Ogen. Absolutely delicious, and dangerously so considering the very high ABV. Probably my favorite beer from the past 4 months or so, but sadly it sounds like it was a single release. Hopefully it makes it way out into the wild next year, but I've got one left in the fridge just in case.
