    One of my good buddies brews for Smartmouth. Hung out at the brewery last week and tried the Alter Ego, definitely a tasty saison. They will also be at the VB Craft Beer Festival this weekend. I'll be there Sunday, anyone else going?

    Not sure if I'm going or not. Right now, I'm planning on the wine fest. More convenient for me.

    Ladies and gentlemen, the final tally from the tasting this afternoon.

    I know the first picture is a bit odd, it was the panorama and my phone was complaining I was "too fast"

    A good time was had by all!

    Grand Cru Bruocsella (but you already know that, having found out by other means).

    You'll just have to make the next one! Speaking of the next one, any ideas of when/where?

    Surly Wet is damn delicious. I'm trying to get more. Getting 2 packages from Cali (Pliny, Lost Abbey, Bruery, Alaskan) and one from Florida (cigar city) this week, and another from Cali and one from Illinois (Three Floyds) the following week, so I vote on another get together soon.

    Haven't seen or heard anything about Brown Shugga yet. Didn't they also make Daytime IPA or something that we never got either?

    Hit up Grape and Gourmet and Oceana Package store and didn't see it.

    What the hell is Oceana Package store? I'm going to assume on base, but I just want to make sure I am not missing a beer store in the area.

    Total Wine says estimated Nov delivery but of course it could always be there sooner.

    Yes. On base. They carry some quality beers, and every now and then I'll find something you can't find anywhere else in the area. I will be quite sad next June when my military ID expires :slight_frown:

    Need to check Chip's in Moyock. They seem to get more/different Lagunitas in NC than VA.

    Empire's a possibility too. They seem to stay on top of new releases.

    Not trying to intrude on your party but I like what you all are doing here. I recently started a tasting group with a fellow BA down here in south western Virginia. If any of your folks ever make it to the left part of the state and are looking to drink some beers let me know and I can get a few others to join in as well.
