    Me and some of the gang are going to hit up the Portsmouth / Dover area to visit a bunch of breweries we have not been to yet. Tentative schedule for Wed. July 29th ...

    12:00pm - 1:30pm Stoneface Brewing
    2:00pm - 3:30pm Garrison City Beerworks
    3:30pm - 5:00pm 7th Settlement Brewing (Food here)
    5:30pm - 7:00pm Eagle Earth Brewing (Food here)
    Most likely will hit up Row34 & Portsmouth Brewing later into the night.

    Will be doing the social media on where we are ... come out for a pint or few.

    I may!
    (But if I miss, tell the nice people at Stoneface that we'd like dates on the bottles).

    Seriously, swap in Tributary for Earth Eagle. But I'm guessing they've been there before and the goal is to hit new places.

    Was in Portsmouth a few weeks ago. When you get to Portsmouth Brewing, get the mussels cooked in coconut/curry sauce. They will blow your mind.
    Sounds like a great trip. Enjoy. Cheers!.

    would love to hear the reports on the sandbox series pale ale & the dry hopped APA they are pouring right now!

    If I hustle I can get to & fro Stoneface during my lunch break, but did not bring my growler today. Their APA is fantastic and the hopped up version that (I think) they are pouring now sounds delicious. would love a first hand report from BA!

    Definitely want to hear your thoughts on Garrison City and if it's worth the trip. Seeing great things on-line about their Citra and Mosaic Single-hops and their IPA (DIPA?) Khaos . . .

    Garrison City is legit....all their dry hopped apa's are really juicy and balanced. Khaos is the best beer they have produced IMO. I would say they are worth a trip if you are near the area for sure!

    Earth Eagle is definitely legit. Do not miss that one. Literally a three minute walk from Portsmouth Brewing.

    Garrison City is amazing. You should really visit Whym Craft Beer Café in Porsmouth. World class and well worth it!
