Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Tombsy]

Charleston

 

[TheMadKing]

I wasn't sure if I goofed there or not, guessing twice.

Gonna hit what might seem obscure. And then I am going to sleep. (Don't get nuts if I don't get back before 6AM or so)

Savannah, Ga?

from the hip, so googling (just in case I'm right lol)

 

[HopHeavy]

Not Charleston. This place is nearly twice as far from Charleston, SC, than it is from Charleston, WV.
It is even further from Savannah, GA.

Somewhere in Connecticut?

 

[HopHeavy]

Nope. I am going to take a shot at introducing other images associated to both this town and beer, though not the skyline.

 

[Tombsy]

Looking at a google maps using my fingers as a scale and looking at the logo.... Manchester, NH?

 

[HopHeavy]

and here is skyview vantage of downtown... If I remember correctly, there is a brewpub in this shot

 

[HopHeavy]

Afraid not. Go south, young man.

 

[MagicMatt]

I see some small hills in the background and I was thinking either WV or VA so.......wild guess: Roanoke, VA?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Asheville?

 

[HopHeavy]

Matt, while you aren't yet in the right state, I believe you have come closest yet.

 

[HopHeavy]

Asheville?

Asheville? Where is that?

 

[HopHeavy]

Now AshBURN, VA would be closer than Roanoke, VA. Home of Lost Rhino - Face Plant IPA

 

[MagicMatt]

Hm......DC? That doesn't seem right though.

 

[GrogNerd]

Monocacy Brewing

Frederick, MD

just up the road from me (Ashburn, VA is nextdoor)

Frederick Maryland!!

Google-fu mastery

So I first used google earth to draw an arc in the northeast with the radius of charleston WV to charleston SC to give me a search area.

I then searched about 100 different combinations of river, lights, brewery, red brick, historic, stone bridge, canal, new york, connecticut, pennsylvania, delaware, new jersey, maryland

I hit this image with the search terms "historic downtoen river walk maryland" (after I had already tried all the other states on the list)

the brewery logo was impossible to find lol, I searched for that for a long time

Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you beat me by seconds

 

[Tombsy]

Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you beat me by seconds

You took to long to explain your google mastery! haha

 

[HopHeavy]

Grog Nerd is UP... But nice job to you as well, MadKing!

This was coming next...

 

[HopHeavy]

Who wouldn't have made the Flying Dog connection?

 

[TheMadKing]

You took to long to explain your google mastery! haha

lol you would have too if you'd worked that hard to figure it out

 

[HopHeavy]

the brewery logo was impossible to find lol, I searched for that for a long time

Monocacy Brewing is a microish place. Grew out of a Homebrew Shop on North Market Street, or it may have been the other way around... I can't recall. The "M" is a representation of a segment of the Monocacy River Aqueduct.

 

[GrogNerd]

me, back in my acid-wash jeans-wearing skinny days as a world-traveling sailor

 

[HopHeavy]

Wow, Are you still 30 feet tall?

 

[HopHeavy]

...the cannon to your right looks like a toy, the trees behind you must be about 50 feet tall.

 

[GrogNerd]

lol... never noticed before, but it does look like I'm a giant

actually standing on the edge of a tall ridge

 

[Tombsy]

Knoxville

 

[GrogNerd]

not Knoxville

& I just checked, Google image search will be no help whatsoever

so, I guess I'll have to start giving clues

#1 - it's a capital

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Sacramento?

Guessing as it looks vaguely Western due to the dry ground and terrain in the background, and you said it's a capital.

 

[GrogNerd]

not Sacramento

#2 - not a STATE capital
