Ardent Craft Ales

My favorite is the IPA X (NE style w Citra!!) and the Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Milk Stout. The latter is perfect as a dessert!

I wasn’t a fan of the Leigh St. There is a fruity aftertaste I’m starting to see in some NE IPAs that turns me off.

Islay Brewing Company

Interesting stuff here, Brown Betty is a very dark cider-y. Grapefruit IPA is grapefruit-y but quite pithy. Chai porter is a little on the light side but the peanut butter porter is suuuper peanut buttery!

Busky Hard Cider. Jalapeño is a bit too dry. Duck Sauce doesn’t really taste like anything Asian. Big place and big selection but underwhelming.

Three Notch’d

Blonde stouts are always interesting but the DIPA is worth coming back for.

Last one for tonight. Missed packet pickup but got an imperial stout at Hardywood anyway. Goodnight.

Posting for @Beach [emoji267] Felipe who is taking a break from Social Media but wants beerneuring points anyway…

Mad Fox Brewery, Falls Church VA

@beach [emoji267] Felipe had the Kellerbier Kolsch, with a side of steak frits! He seemed to enjoy the crisp & delicate taste of an unfiltered German-style ale with light lemon notes and a semi-dry finish, which was Gold medal winner at GABF 2011 (long before he got into cycling, let alone freezing saddles).

I had the razor burn Mexican chocolate stout….hijole!…so much so that this is my second visit, so it doesn’t count for me.

I am very interested in seeing your route for the Richmond brew tour.
I have been to several of those breweries, but never by bike.

At Chubby Squirrel in Fairfax City with fxbooks. I had the Redemption Porter because nitro. It was ok. Had the creamy mouthfeel that you expect from a Nitro pour. Just not a lot of flavor.

At Ornery Beer Company in Fairfax City with fxbooks. I had the Occoquan Oats, an amber brewed with, uh…oats. Pretty complex for an amber with sweet malty notes followed by spicy hops.

Finally got to hellbender. Having a double chazzwazer. Tastes great, well balanced. Order one if you like IPAs!

Beerneuring while in Banff! Actually in the neighboring town of Canmore. Went to Grizzly Paw Brewing and tried out a flight consisting of the Evolution IPA, Uberwintern Munich Dunkel, Grumpy Bear Honey wheat, and Three Sisters Pale Ale since I figured I should get something named after one of the surrounding mountain ranges. The bartender also suggested the Blue Cow Milk Stout so I had that as well. All were solid. Particularly enjoyed the caramely Dunkel and the smooth Milk Stout. The unfiltered Evolution IPA was also quite flavorful without being too hoppy like many Western IPA’s. Instead of thumbs up, paws up!
