Beerneuring – BAFS 2020

[lordofthemark]

Beerneuring #2 Caboose Commons

Won’t bother talking about the bike conditions from Settle Down, people have kvetched about Rte 29 for years. The brewery of course is dramatic and the bike parking is great.

Caboose Key Lime Gose

Hazy yellow, white head. Aroma is soft lime weaving in and out. Taste is indistinctly sour, lime more on the finish. Light to medium mouthfeel. Gets better on the second and third sips..I liked this a lot.[ATTACH=CONFIG]20620[/ATTACH]

I am bartending at Maryland Meadworks from noon-2pm today Sunday 1/5. Mead counts towards beerneuring and the meadery is right off the trail in Hyattsville, so bike over and ill give you a 50% discount on a glass of mead if you say you’re a freezing saddle participant during my shift. And I will take your picture for your required documentation….

Sunday: 12pm – 7pm
Maryland Meadworks
4700 Rhode Island Ave.
Suite Bee
Hyattsville, MD 20781

Maryland Meadworks is located on the southern end of Hyattsville (aka SoHy), next to Shortcake Bakery at the intersection of Route 1 (Rhode Island Ave.) and the Northwest Branch bike trail.

Jan 5 at Lake Anne Brewing in Reston. I had the Shuck Oyster Stout which was a nice reward for fighting the headwinds out there. Slightly salty, malty and sweet, and nicely balanced.

We went to Denizens and they were closed. The nerve.

Luckily, Astro Lab is less than 1/3 of a mile away, and they WERE open, and they have delicious pretzels with cheese sauce.

I started with the Jupiter. The tasting notes say it has a soft mouthfeel, and that’s definitely true. I tried the wife’s Startaker. Similar beer, stronger finish. Then I moved on to the James Whirl Jones. Frutier and good. Similar to the first two. I tried the wife’s Peekaboo w/Mosaic. Honestly, all four of these are pretty much the same. Maybe I have a cold or something. I finished with the Boss – an IPA inspired by LIverpool from the British Premier League. It was super malty for an IPA. So malty, in fact, that I hesitate to call it an IPA. It was good, though.

I partook of the Tart Gwen (named after a locally known Meadworks supporter in her 90’s, we were told). Tart, but a bit sweet–as mead tends to be. Good enough that I took a growler of it home courtesy of Sarah Bee.

#1 Lake Anne Brew House

Thought I should get something Reston themed and got the Live-Work-Play IPA, a play on Reston’s motto. It was a nice, easy to drink IPA.

#2 Brookeville Brew Farm

Went on Eric’s ride to Brookeville Brew Farm. Who knew you could “raise” beer. Got a flight of 4. Particularly liked the “wintry mix”, a blonde ale coated with some cinnamon on the glass.

No one should EVER put cinnamon in beer.

Yes, they got dragged along. They both wanted the miles – they’re already falling behind on the Pointless Kids leaderboard.

I had a Talk, Dark, and Nutty peanut butter milk stout. Smells like a peanut butter cup. Would be great with ice cream. Then I had a taster of the From Asgard, With Love, a Nordic IPA that was juicier than expected and meh.

Mmmmm, no names of the beer or descriptions of how they taste. Sorry, no point. Rules are rules.
