Huge beer geek here! I used to homebrew with a motley crew of fellow chemical engineers, operators, technicians, and chemists when I lived down in Richmond VA. But when I moved back up to the Philly area, I found an eden of amazing microbrews.
Dogfish, Victory, Stoudt's, Troegs, Slyfox, Yards, Weyerbacher, Flying Fish, etc ...
I've visited most the local microbreweries within a few hours drive and even recieved quite a few private tours after talking with the brew staff. I've come to the conclusion that nothing beats brewing your own, but I entrush the true brewmasters out there to keep me on my toes.
For tonight ... I've been enjoying some classic Fat Tire (from New Belgium), a rare find for those of us east of the Mississippi. I also cleaned off a few remaining Fuller's ESBs.
