Oh......your Kidding right? You live near the bay if I remember correctly so you are close I think?. My wife grew up on the bay...Cape Saint Claire.

I am already jealous! Calagione brews some real crazy shit so be careful!

Depending on where we turn to get to Rehoboth, we may pass right near there on Hwy. 50. By the way, I don't really drink beer (I know this makes it worse) but can you suggest a good pale ale?

I usually go for the hard ciders and stuff like Mike's unless I'm drinking hard liquor. But for you I will have a beer.

Ha ha...Ok....let me look at the list of Tap stuff and get back with you. They do distill hard stuff now I see. I saw a small batch Vodka on the website.

This is not a pale but you should try it for me..

Festina Peche Please?

This beer is a Neo-Berliner Weisse brewed with wheat and pilsner malt to 4.5% abv. It was given one of the lowest hop additions for any Dogfish Head beer to date coming in at just 5 IBU's!

After the hop additions, the beer is fermented with fresh peaches.

The beer is tart due to the presence of lactic acid along with a subtle fruit profile from the peaches.

Also try Fluckey's Fest....I know these sound crazy but these guys brew some amazing shit.

Admiral Fluckey's Lager was brewed with 51% Pilsner malt and 49% Chardonnay grapes, then fermented with Champagne yeast. It is low (~15 IBU’s) on the bitterness scale, a bit sweet, about 7-8% abv, with the slight acididity of a champagne.
Admiral Fluckey was the first commander of the USS Dogfish (submarine) and just passed away on July 2, 2007.

*writes down weird beer names for the girls to try*

This is what we need. Tipsy women in an outlet mall with credit cards...maybe we should switch Dogfish to the dinner hour...

Ha ha....what a sport. The dinner hour might not be a bad idea.......

I have family in Springfield and a great friend in Baltimore...two great excuses to fly down to visit this brewery.

The Gaithersburg location is right on the way from one to the other...
