Wow, we had a great time at Black Flag Brewing in Columbia this Wednesday. I personally had 2 delicious beers, Friends with Benefits and Churro En Fuego. Churro is a chocolate beer with chilis, vanilla, and spices – very nice. The mango infused Friends was so fantastic I came back the next day and bought a 4-pack. Continue reading Black Flag Revisited

Annapolis, MD, Friday, February 23, 2018

I just recently posted on another site – my first guest blog! The site is BookCulinaryVacations. They organize culinary vacations, so if you are into food, it’s worth a visit. (Not an affiliate link)
Also, they asked about craft beer, so I put something together for them. Please check out my guest post at BookCulinaryVacation – Craft Beer Revolution.
Cheers!

After watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies last night, I’m ready to get out and do something today. Last Saturday, I made a beer in Brewer’s Hill with my son and friends. The original gravity was low, so I’ll be adding some sugar (either honey or dry malt extract) to get the alcohol content and flavor up. Also, I have an electric strap that we can use to regulate the temperature of the wort since the house is a bit cool. Fun times!
Below are some craft beer articles that I found interesting. Enjoy. Continue reading More Saturday Beer Reads
