Gotta do a plug for my local backyard brew........great stuff!
May have to give that a try, I've seen the "Shine On" in stores before.
I like what I'm seeing with Ale Asylum! Next time I'm in the neighborhood, I'll be sure to check them out.
As for Maryland brews, I'd recommend the following:
Flying Dog http://flyingdogales.com/
Evolution http://www.evolutioncraftbrewing.com/
16 Mile http://16milebrewery.com/
Dogfish Head (technically located in Delaware, but located on the same peninsula as us) http://www.dogfish.com/
Fordham (from the Ramshead Tavern where Paul started building guitars) http://fordhambrewing.com/wp-conten...on.php?redirect_to=http://fordhambrewing.com/

There are times lately, I'll admit, where I'll return a 6-pack of Dos Equis. Not sure if those guys keep their beer cool enough but a lot of it seems to go sour these days. That has had me searching for something new.
While I used to enjoy a cool (not cold) Guiness, Grolsch, Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale, a Murphy's Irish Stout, or a Boddington's Bitter, I am starting to lean away from beer that is skunky, bitter, or too hoppy. I just want a well balanced amber or hefeweizen. Blue Moon (with an orange) is a good summer beer for me but I don't generally care for fruity beer either. And Pilsner's? No thanks.
I just want a beer that is richly flavored when cold and balanced enough that the last warm swig from the bottle (or pint glass) isn't hard to choke down.
Right now, Yuengling is consistently the best beer I've ever had. The problem? I can't buy it in Colorado.
Yuengling...I love this one, but I can't ask for it, since it's too complicated for me. Hey Hans, I pay and you order, is that a deal?
I'm not sure which beers will be available, but Maryland brewer Flying Dog will be the beer vendor at this year's Experience!
