DOW (Drinks of the Week) – Coastal Empire Beer Co.

You ever drink so much that you time travel and wake up in a mystery room in your own house.  Yeah me niether.  Clearly, I am lying, after a wonderful Friday night I found myself snapping awake in the third bathroom of my house.  I generally don’t use this one but there I was standing in the dark with no clue where the hell I was.  First things first I shuffled my feet on the floor trying to identify what room I was in, then I began searching for a light.  Light found, the room lit up and I was like ” What the Fuck am I doing in here.”  Yeah, that happened.  it wasn’t due to the Coastal brews but the other 700 beers I had that night, and a cider provided by Tim the neighbor.

DOW (Drinks of the Week) Outer Banks NC – Travel Edition

Easter week we decided to go to the Outer Banks for a little family vaca.  Nothing like relaxing and throwing back some great brews by the beach.  For myself it was the first time I had ever been to the Outer Banks and to be honest I can’t wait to get back.  We stayed in Avon and took a day trip to Ocracoke and hung out at Howard’s Pub and 1718 Brewing Company.  The rest of the week contained bad ideas, more beer, and some damn good times.  Onto the Beers!!!!!!

DOW (Drinks of the Week) Frankenmuth Brewing Company

It’s been a couple of weeks since we dropped a DOW.  Every now and then I have to work in a cleanse to make sure I can keep going during the summer months.  Plus we went on vacation to OBX.  There will be a write up coming soon from that adventure.  This post is from last week when we tried Frankenmuth Brewing Company out of Michigan.  Born in 1862 Frankenmuth has been making beer for damn near ever.  It didn’t start with the Frankenmuth name but settled on the Frankenmuth name in the 80’s.  We try out two of their brews last week, “Lighten Up Francis,” and “Old Detroit.”

DOW (Drinks of the Week ) Wyndridge Farm Brewing Company

Nestled in Dallastown, PA you can find Wyndridge Farm and Brewing Company. The Couple running this place turned 77 acres of farmland into one of the nicest places to eat, drink, and enjoy the outdoors.  It’s wild but this couple is doing it all from making hard ciders, craft beers, and what appears to be some damn amazing food.  We have two of their farm-crafted beers this week in, “Barn Dog,” and “Handsome Bull.”  Let’s get some facts and some good conversation.   CHEERS!!!!!

DOW (Drinks of the Week) Conshohocken Brewing Company

Opening its doors in 2014 to the public Conshohocken Brewing company is making some damn good beers.  This past week we gave three of them a shot, “Winter Madness,” “Blood Money,” and “Type-A.”  I was pumped to try these guys out mainly because of one of my favorite sports radio talk show hosts, Glen Macnow, is a part owner of Conshy Brewing.  Not to get weird about it but the guy has it pretty damn good, he talks sports, drinks beer, likes a good meal, and the list goes on. If I could create a blueprint for things I wanted to accomplish this guy has done it.  I still have time to get moving on some of these things so we will see what happens.  Your right I am jealous and with that let’s talk about the beers.

DOW (Drinks of the Week) Wawa Coffee Stout

For the Philadelphia area, Wawa is the king of convenient stores.  For many years they have continued to improve on their quality food and service.  Their hoagies (Subs for non-Philly folks) and coffee have been their featured items over the years but they changed the game when they took a shot at making their own beer.   Well, they didn’t really make their own, they joined up with the experts at 2SP Brewing Company to make a Coffee Stout.
