Default Thanks!

Thanks for the input everone!

Hey Leprechaun, I grew up in Montgomery County. I havn't been back in that area as an adult. How's the micro-brew/ craft brew scene down there? Here in Maine there is a number of pretty descent pubs so I'm a little spoiled. My wife and I may be in that area late this summer so I can show her my roots (and maybe an O's game) but I don't remember any brew pubs and such from my childhood (obviously). Any suggestions? The best part of traveling for me is eating tons and drinking the local brew

It sucks! Pretty much we've got a Rock Bottom in Bethesda and a Gordon Biersch in Gaithersburg. Other than that you've got to travel a little ways. There's also a place called Growlers, but I haven't been there yet, so can't vouch for it. If you're looking for a good brewpub, I'd say stop off in Baltimore and go to Brewer's Art, or go up to Frederick to Brewer's Alley.

There's a great bar in Silver Spring called the Quarryhouse, they do two things - beer and whiskey. Excellent selection, good prices, knowledgeable staff... it's across the street from where I work, so I end up in there a lot

Have you ever smoked hops?

I believe they call that freebasing, and with the price of hops as they are, you might as well go get some cocaine!

Very true!

I said that as a joke, as I know the Hops wont make you high or anything. But now thinking about it, if fully dried and added in with pipe tobacco I wonder what it would smell / taste like.

Probably mostly grass, and it would probably hurt.
