The Real TNL Pub 2009

The brewmaster spoke for over an hour. I can't fucking understand french people trying to speak english. He did mention the fact that a good brewer can make the same beer the same way every time, and a shitty brewer just makes a different beer every month. Also for that reason, beer is 10x harder to make than wine. Winemakers can hide behind climate issues and grow years when they have problems. I thought that was interesting. He sure as hell smelled french and when my gf and I got a pic with him he rubbed his roquefort armpit sauce on her arm. It just wouldn't go away.

Many drunken elves in Fell's Point last night...

burned 30 bucks buying beer today on WHIMS, and I was just going to buy some standard weeknight beer.

Got the Victory Golden Monkey for drinking tonight. Probably 2-3, and I got a few of the Chouffes that have been talked up in here.

I got the Houblon and the Belgian Brown ale. I'll save them for friday night.

A party I went to last night had a keg of Flying Dog Pale Ale. Much better than the usual fare.

That's what it pretty much boils down to at the bars here in Frederick. Since the brewery is here, they managed to put their product in at most places. Unfortunately their one good brew - Gonzo Imperial Porter - is only available at this bar I hate.

Perhaps I'm crazy but I've tried Malt Liquors and they don't taste that bad to me. They're certainly not great but not the bottled horrors their reputations make them out to be.

The Houblon was totally bangin'.

their In-Heat Wheat is surprisingly good, again much better than the usual fare.

The "usual fare" is usually Natty, Bud Light, or Yuengling, depending upon the crowd. Tonight the keg was Yuengling, which I am honestly okay with. While yesterday's beer was better, tonight's crowd and atmosphere more than made up for it.

Edit: Although I complimented some girl on her beer choice (she was drinking a Rogue Shakespeare Stout from the bottle) and she was like "Oh this? I don't know what it is, my boyfriend got it." Respect: Some people just don't have it.

Why would ppl waste good beer at a fucking kegger?

kegs in college park were always Yuengling Light Premium to trick silly people into thinking they were drinking Yuengling.

That shit was the same price as Natty Light ($55/keg) and tasted 55 times worse.
