The Beer Thread

[walk,on,by]

new brewery, coming to the old town walking mall, Winchester, va!!  this summer.  I think it will be called aleliscious, or something like that.

Kind of had a different beer in mind tonight to pair with what I'm cooking, but realized this would be the perfect beer to serve tonight to the person I was married to 13 years ago today...might have to drink more than six ounces of beer on a Tues.

WoB, mellow mushroom, downtown crown... has craft beer become so mainstream that even rockville is developing a scene?!?  all welcome new for me!

I was wondering the same about Mellow Mushroom, opening yesterday in Rockville.

MM strikes me as the Mickey-D's of craft beer: bright colors, all plastic, chintzy, very family friendly, loud.  i look forward to taking my little tykes there some day for 'za and a brew (for me), but doesn't strike me as a place that i would hang out at on my own or with buddies - unless maybe they had something amazing on tap, but MM never posts their draft list online which is a big minus for me.  sounds like they had a few issues on opening day.  i'll give the place a try but expectations are low.

Finally -

As per Downtown crown wine and beer in Ghettosburg, MD----

I had lunch at Full On the other day.  Good food, decent beer list for MoCo.  Not sure what the evening vibe is...

we've stopped in there a few times, we live down Norbeck (towards R'ville).  love the sandwiches.  wish they had more than 4 taps, but at least they always have 4 good choices.  never been there at night.

The Veil - Master Shredder

Have enjoyed a few cans of this over past couple of weeks. What a delicious beverage.

Light, tropical, lil' juicy... and only 5.5%. I also hope to get to this brewery by 2019.

Dude, it's in Richmond. That's an easy day trip. Take the family to Lewis Ginter, and stop at the Veil afterwards.

This went extremely well with my creamy salmon pasta last night. Of course, it was the 2015 bottle for us.

We typically don't plan our activities around brewery visits, but I will keep this in my back pocket!

I *wish* we had a Mellow Mushroom around the corner from us. It was always our after-race place after running the Charlottesville Marathon, back in the day. Great prices on pitchers of craft beer (I remember Founders Centennial and Oskar Blues Gubna)...so nothing special but always many solid choices...and some interesting pizzas...

Instead, we have a Yards at the newly revamped mall (right next to Dave and Busters!), and a totally dismal Ledo's Pizza (that serves craft beer but it's so bleak that it's best to do takeout, when your kid is insisting on Ledo's.)

Well you're planning your visit around Lewis Ginter,  the VMFA, and Maymont. If you just happen to stumble across a great brewery, you kind of have to sto, don't you?
