    I was at Rockaway Brewing yesterday at the Rockaway location, not the LIC one.  Had their Pale Ale.  Quite tasty and the taco stand is fantastic!

    @SVRDhand13 Joe do you ever go out that way?

    Got a 6er of Sierra Nevada - Hazy Little Thing IS

    I rate it quite highly! That was some good stuff.

    12 hour midnight shifts this week and last. No beer on the 4th is going to be odd. Kind of a unique couple of weeks for me there. Something about working12 hours and having a drink after at 7:30 a.m. I can't get myself to do quite yet.

    That's a great summer beer.  The new sour one from Revolution Freedom of Speach is really good too.  I'm not usually a big fan of sours, but that one is very good.  Check it out.

    I guess had five of these last night.  One of my favorites.

    ^ Lol. Anytime you say to yourself, “looks like I must have had 5 of these last night,” you know it was a good night!

    $3 drafts of New Belgium at Mountain Maryland Trail Fest downtown yesterday. 12oz pours but still can’t beat that. I had one cup of Hemperor and my burps smelled like weed the rest of the night, lol. It’s a strong odor for a beer, it smelled like everyone had weed in their pockets. I’m sure a few did, but wow. 
    They also had Fat Tire (naturally), Voodoo Ranger IPA, & Tartastic Strawberry Lemon. 

    A friend of mine organized the whole thing thru the bike shop he used to work at. Appararently the owner gets to host 3 events per year but never does anything, so my buddy took it upon himself to throw something.

    It was pretty cool, had some bike vendors there, Trek was doing e-bike rides, Bell helmets were there, some local businesses had tents, food trucks, live music (not the greatest but don’t have much local talent), guided group rides, etc. Not bad for a guy organizing his first big event downtown.

    Yeah I had a little headache this morning for sure but I feel I now need to drink the last one since it is so lonely.

    Kind of gimmicky, but cool as a collectors item.  Too bad they’re in Seattle only.

    I've had a bit of a falling out with Bissell Brothers over the past year or so. But I still quite enjoy this blonde ale on a nice day, or even at sunset.

    I haven’t. Wonder if it’s any good. Any west coasters out there that have had it?
