I hadn't been to Third Hill Brewing in #SilverSpring, #Maryland since opening weekend, so Mrs. Porterman and I stopped by. She had the Fun Time Selzer and loved it. I had the I Hart Stout, a 10.1% ABV imperial stout. Malty, roasty, and smooth. I followed it up with Three Strikes, You're Stout!, a 6.8% ABV American stout. This one reminded me of a black IPA. I just loved the hoppy bitterness, and it's one of the best beers I've had in a very very long time. #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason@beersofmastodon
I drink this one a lot more than I post about it, but on a beautiful 87°F April day in #Maryland I sat outside for lunch and had a Layered Up Wintertime Stout, because a day like today deserves a smooth, roasty stout. It's always MFing stout season. #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason@beersofmastodon
Some days you NEED a #beer before the work day ends ... and sometimes a hasty pour makes a bigger mess of an afternoon. I'm having a Sticky Beans by Ever Grain Brewing Company. And I desperately need this 10% ABV imperial coffee stout in my belly. #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason@beersofmastodon
The lovely Mrs. Porterman and I had a quick mini-date this evening after the kid's softball game. We popped into Nepenthe Brewing in #Baltimore, #Maryland for some boneless Old Bay wings and a drink. I enjoyed Dark Path, a smooth 5.5% ABV vanilla coffee porter. She had the Thiccolas Cage, an 11.2% ABV imperial stout collab brewed with Black Flag Brewing. #beer#ItsAlwaysStoutSeason@beersofmastodon
Last night my wife and I headed to Idiom Brewing Company in #Frederick, #Maryland for dinner. I grabbed a pint of Blind Luck, a 5.5% ABV dry Irish stout. We also grabbed a pepperoni pizza, which was delicious. #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason@beersofmastodon
The family and I headed to Frey's Brewing Company in #MountAiry, #Maryland for drinks and games. I started with the Frey's Winter Devil Rave, an 8.5% ABV imperial stout. My wife enjoyed a sugar free caramel vanilla iced coffee. I followed it up with Smoochin' Roy Rogers, a 7% ABV Irish stout. The kid enjoyed a chocolate muffin. We played Tell Me Without Telling Me for a bit followed by a couple rounds of Shut the Box. We always love stops at Frey's! #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason@beersofmastodon
Drinking a Holy Donut Dark Chocolate Peppermint by Lone Pine Brewing and it's effing great! The dark chocolate is delicious and the peppermint is prevalent but not overbearing. Super smooth as well. Sad I bought a single of this one. I'll definitely be heading back to the store to grab more. #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason@beersofmastodon
The family and I stopped into Pariah Brewing in #Baltimore. #Maryland for drinks and music. I had a Fudgies, an imperial oatmeal milk stout brewed with peanuts, chocolate, and vanilla. I also had a Breakfast Can Wait, a blonde breakfast stout with coffee and chocolate. #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason@beersofmastodon
I'm in #Gettysburg, #Pennsylvania for a couple days so I stopped into Fourscore Beer Company for the first time. I grabbed a pour of Banana Bread at Work, an 11% imperial stout conditioned on freeze dried bananas. @beersofmastodon#ItsAlwaysStoutSeason
I just opened my very last can of Full Tilt Brewing beer, a Cat's Pajamas Rise N Shine milk stout. It's brewed with coffee, cacao nibs, maple syrup, and lactose. Full Tilt, you are missed. #Baltimore#Maryland#ItsAlwaysStoutSeason@beersofmastodon
Sunday my wife and I headed to Chessie's Wharf, the new RaR Brewing taproom in #Annapolis, #Maryland. The place was crazy busy, yet we only needed to wait about 20 minutes to be seated. I was excited that they had enough stouts for a flight! Pictured are:
Giving up on the weather, time to enjoy some AGED barrel-aged delights.
#gooseIsland 2021 Bourbon County #stout has aged well, full-bodied with beautiful mellow bourbon and vanilla notes and a sweet brown sugar finish. Decadent!
Running out of ways to influence the weather, #stoutTuesday takes a shot with Snow Emergency #stout from #FultonBrewing. No signs it’ll work, but a good way to cap the day.
FORTY SEVEN degrees in MN in January 31? Maybe I can influence the weather with holiday #stoutWednesday ?
#lefthandBrewing Candy Cane Imperial Peppermint Milk Stout makes its final showing of the season. Unlikely to bend Lother Nature’s will, but still amazingly rich and smooth with a perfect minty sweet balance.
So happy to finally try #revolutionBrewing Deth series! Continuing a vanilla theme, it’s Vanilla Deth imperial stout.
Turns out this is a 2021 can - it’s aged well with a vanilla malty nose and a smooth body. Vanilla caramel with a little kick on the finish to remind you it’s 13.6% ABV.
Yesterday my wife and I headed to #Maryland's newest farm brewery, Stone Silo. I got myself the Oaten Around, a smooth 5.6% ABV oatmeal stout. My wife got the Nehemiah Nectar, a 5.3% ABV tangerine hazy IPA. We both enjoyed our selections. The locals showed up hard in support, as parking and seating were scarce, and it was great to see. There were both picnic tables and Adirondack chairs outside, along with fire pits. #ItsAlwaysStoutSeason@beersofmastodon
