What brewery are you visiting?

[Brewin’&Qin’]

Last week on vacation stopped into Cape May Brewing in Cape May NJ. My wife son and I split a couple of flights. Cape May Brewing only supplies beers to NJ, the Philadelphia area and part of Delaware. They do not ship anywhere else. And sorry I did not get any pics.
Tried a couple different IPAs, two different Saisons, a Whitbier, a couple APAs and a Shandy. With the exception of one of the saisons, all were really good. Those in the area and want to stop in or pick up at a store here are the beers we tried (don’t remember the exact name of the saisons, but the farmhouse saison was the one not as good as all the others):
Crusty Barnacle - APA
Follow the Gull - IPA
Orange Crushin’ It - IPA
Cape May IPA - IPA
Cape May White - Whitbier
The Grove - Shandy

They have a great taproom, outdoor beer garden attached to the taproom and a brewtanical garden with picknic tables and areas etc. As a NJ brewery they cannot serve food, but you can bring your own.
As said, worth the trip if in the area.

Right now at Slag Heap in Trussville, AL. Recently Druid City in Tuscaloosa, Key City in Vicksburg. Also Bicentennial in Jackson, MS, a tiny little brewery inside a craft beer store with some tasty, interesting beers!

Jovaru Brewery, in Lithuania, this weekend. Our second visit to the most celebrated traditional farmhouse brewer in Lithuania, and owner of the Jovaru yeast strain marketed by Omega.

I had promised to take Aldona Udriene a pack of her own strain from the US (for her little museum) and also gave her a copy of Lars Garshol’s Historical Brewing Techniques book, which features her prominently. She received us with incredible food and “gave” us (I had to insist to pay) this beauty of an 8-gallon keg full of her amazing raw kaimiškas alus.

Aldona, who is 80, learned brewing and carries her unique yeast strain from her parents and grandparents, has brewed all her life yet struggles to make ends meet as the pandemic has shut down her main clients. She wonders whether anyone in the US has used her yeast and what people think of it.

Site-1 Brewing here in Omaha. Lucky to have 3 quality breweries within (theoretical) walking distance from my office.

Ardent Brewing in RVA. Pleasantly surprised by the saison and the Virginia common

Hanging out with the fam at Dogfish Head. A club member is a pro brewer there so we got a tour.

This is called The Seaquencher, which is like an always-on kettle sour machine, which can provide lactic wort whenever they need it.

I know this is a late response but how were the beers at Slag Heap. I live part time near Trussville and visited that brew pub soon after it opened. I was not impressed with their offerings. Maybe it has gotten better but I haven't been back.

On the contrary, Ferris Brewery, the newest in Trussville has some very good brews, great facility and beer garden and stage. Birmingham area has several good breweries including Avondale and Good People.

They haven't changed much since opening. Some good, some so so, depending on what you like. Ferus has some very good brews.

Henhouse in Santa Rosa, CA.
Their Saison is excellent, of the rest the Gose was the standout. All the APA/IPAs were heavy on Mosaic which apparently I don't like very much.

Was it worth the trip from Carlisle?
Looking for some random biergarten-ish time sinks...

Cheers!

Goat Island in Cullman Alabama was my most recent brew pub visit. Love their Richter's Pilsner and Alabama just recently made it legal for breweries to sell directly to the public. Scheduled pick up for sixtel to take home to the beach.

Definitely. When I went, it was a nice sunny day and mild temperatures. We sat outside under a tent. They had one seafood truck and by the time I left 4 more showed up.

Kohola Brewery, this one is tucked away in an industrial area I had a tasty Dragon fruit wheat and bought a 6 pk of award winning Pilsner to go.

Buzzards Bay, MA tomorrow. If you ever end up on the South Coast of MA, take a break from wondering "Why god did I end up here?" and have a pint there. Great beer and a beautiful location.

So is the general public allowed to visit? Or must you show government issued papers to be let in?

To travel to HI one must show proof of vaccination or have a negative approved COVID test result to board the plane. Indoor dining is another show your vax card, or use outside seating. Many places are very open so what seems like indoors is considered the same as “outdoors”. If that is a something you would object to stay home, I guess.

We absolutely love Hawaii, being based there flying DC-10's for a number of years. Later flying B-767's and B-777's. We can't take the vaccine due to allergic issues and negative reactions.
My wife and I are both healthy, and COVID free.
But we will most likely never return to Hawaii. Sad.
We object to having our freedoms taken away. And refuse to become an experimental subject, like a lab rat.
