El Guapo's Local Tidewater Brew Happenings

TGIF! Been a while but with an "Early Spring" day, and an early release from the office, who could pass up a taste O a Wee Heavy Scotch Ale out back. (at Maker's Craft Brewery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CofwIebuCsv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stop number three! It's devolved into just dark beers now: Dubbel, Doppelbock, Quad, and their rye barrel-aged imperial stout! (at Yellowhammer Brewing) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn3LdlUukRk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stop two, now in Downtown Huntsville. Blonde, Belgian, Brown and a Tiramisu stout! (at Green Bus Brewing) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn3FpmrOc1e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last night in Alabama. One of my favorites! Unfortunately they lost their building last year and are left with a small taproom near downtown after 15 years of making great beer! (at Rocket Republic Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn283oCuyEy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First Brewery stop of my first work trip in a couple of years. Blondes, yams, stouts and porters - Oh My! (at Mad Malts Brewing) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn0ZPJKO9XE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just down the street from the Distillery! Who knew?!? Tons of beer, and the mead is delightful! (at Bragging Rooster Beer and Mead) https://www.instagram.com/p/CinmDnCON8-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Saturday adventure. Out in the countryside looking for more guns and ammo, stopped on the way back to wet the whistle. This espresso moonshine martini is Amazing! (at Locōrum Distillery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CingpxlOYx-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TGIF Road Trip! A man should not live on Beer alone. Very light and refreshing, their basic whiskey with lime juice and ginger beer (at Weldon Mills Distillery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CilEas5ObIF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TGIF! Road trip to the Catskills! Spent the morning at the Delaware County Fair and now refreshing beers with lunch in Trout Town USA (at Roscoe Beer Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chczj2PuGmB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TGIF! Weather outside is finally moderate (that must be where everyone is). Stopped by one of the OG breweies from my stomping grounds. Lots to choose from, but can't go wrong with one of my fave O'Fest Beers - Princess, named for the River we live on! (at Smartmouth Beer) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChLDilHOfHj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TGIF - Off a little early, so swung by the shooting club for a 2A infusion, the trying out a pint of their Gregorbier, dark Sticke Altbier - Tasty! (at Three Notch'd Craft Kitchen & Brewery - Virginia Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdg0CgTuURH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TGIF! A beautiful Spring day like this calls for something special! #orval #trappist (at Kempsville, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccq6I5pO62D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Saturday pre-game for tonight's NASCAR Cup Race! (at Scuffle Hill Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcI9EK4OHL0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TGIF: Away for the weekend, but there's good beer everywhere! Trying a smooth Irish stout. (at Reynolds Brewery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcGfANqOGB8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TGIF! The best beer at home sometimes is a Local quaff. I'm not a basketball fan, but I am a fan for this Dunkel! #smartmouthbrewery #boomshakalaka #munichdunkel (at Kempsville, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb03a2fOQsx/?utm_medium=tumblr

TGIF - Weather cleared and it's warm enough to open the roll-up doors. Great excuse to try their Bilgewater coffee stout! (at Rip Rap Brewing Co.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaalGMmOqjD/?utm_medium=tumblr

TGIF! Some days it's just better to stay home. Especially when you just finished your telework day and it's only 30 degrees out and blowing stink! What better way to celebrate the beginning of the weekend than a late lunch of my own version of a French Onion Dip, and this lucsious Belgian-style Quad from Boulevard Brewing (at Kempsville, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZATX4TuIsG/?utm_medium=tumblr
