Coming up this Saturday is the Lehigh Valley Brewfest in Easton. Two dozens breweries (including local favorites Victiry, River Horse, Weyerbacher, Stoudts and Troegs) will be on hand this year and the weather looks like it is going to cooperate. Tickets are $35 or $40 at the door.
I was excited to hear that Flying Fish's 6th release in the Exit Berr Series is going to be a chocolate stout for Exit #13 (not sure what the connection is there but I love a mocha stout). The new brew should be available by Christmas.
You may remember that this time last year, FF released their first stour in the Exit Series, Exit 1 Bayshore Oyster Stout. This has been a wonderful line of beers that has left me anticipating each new release.
For those of you not opposed to a short jaunt down 95, this weekend marks the beginning of Baltimore Beer Week. You can find a list of events and locations here.
Not as extensive as Philly Beer Week but still worthy of attention. It will help bide you over until June!
Men's Journal magazine has published their list of the 25 Best Beers in the World.
It was impressive to see three local favorites make the list: Sly Fox Pikeland Pils, Victory Helios Ale and Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. Certainly I think we all have our own favorites and everyone's list would probably be different, but it was still good to see local breweries get the recognition!
