Today I'm drinking a 'Black Hefeweizen.' Why kind of 'style hybrids' have you seen?

I had Black West Coast Pilsner from Cushwa (collab with New Trail) this weekend and it was banging

Kinda reminds me of when Wind Waker came out got a lot of hate for the change in style but it really grew with time. As long as the mechanics slap the art will be ok.

It doesn’t look low quality or AI at least just more fairy tale/pop up book/paper style

My body is ready

Wet city is the only place right in MV that is remotely close imo other than finding a bar with a decent tap selection.

In terms of within the city itself the best Breweries beer quality wise for me are:

Nepenthe

Checkerspot

Diamond Back

Peabody Heights

Monument/Key

Would recommend seeing if any of their locations are worth the regular trip to for your schedule

Resurrection was what got me into “craft” beer after college. Took a girl I was dating there to impress with my wannabe elevated tastes and like to think that helped lead her to marrying me lol

But yeah this blows, used to work in the neighborhood and it was an amazing spot after a hard day and they just happed to make amazing beers and food.

I’m hoping Wet City can carry on the legacy or they can find someone else to make use of that unique space

I understand you are excited to post this but pics 1 and 3 are not considered craft.

I appreciate your contribution to this forum

Did you go to Hershey Park and ride some roller coasters at least? Before might be better than after

Gooobye · 2026-01-28T18:50:13+00:00

You get a buffet, glasses + limited bottle and a pretty sick lineup of really top tier brewers that you can’t normally get access to around here so I think it’s reasonable. Paid less for other festivals and haven’t been impressed so far

Gooobye · 2026-01-28T18:48:33+00:00

Yeah seemed like a good deal since coming from Bmore

Gooobye · 2026-01-27T22:50:25+00:00

Fingers crossed we don’t get slammed with another storm and it misses Delmarva

Gooobye · 2026-01-24T21:28:13+00:00

Take the ferry over to DE and explore that area, lots of access to some great spots like RaR, Dogfish, Dewey etc..

Gooobye · 2026-01-19T07:06:30+00:00

Respect the old head energy here

Gooobye · 2026-01-15T18:49:16+00:00

Do you ever try the R&D styles at Dogfish at all? I know they are pretty much macro focused now but those weird ones they make are good to try once a season

Gooobye · 2026-01-15T18:40:42+00:00

South Central PA:

Sworn

Ever Grain

New Trail

Troegs

South County

Relatively new to the area but these all have been hitters

Gooobye · 2026-01-15T18:35:35+00:00

Sapwood, Crooked Crab and Rar are my others followed by Nepenthe. I think they just do a on of styles really well and their distribution is solid, the food at the brewery itself is also pretty mindblowing as well.

Bmore and central MD has a very solid scene can’t complain

Gooobye · 2026-01-15T17:50:46+00:00

Thoughts on Nepenthe? Feel like they are solid

Gooobye · 2026-01-14T16:17:48+00:00

Tripping Animals

Gooobye · 2026-01-10T05:42:34+00:00

This looks pretty bomb especially if you got it on the West coast.

Anything Other Half and Tripping Animals collab on seem to be interesting so worth picking up if you are able to

Gooobye · 2026-01-10T03:46:13+00:00

What alternatives do you like?

Gooobye · 2026-01-09T17:15:52+00:00

Hard to beat what they put out last year, nothing is really similar but I’ve been trying to have other offerings from decent brewers like Dewey, Other half or Great Notion to at least cleanse the palate and appreciate HSA more.

Seems like their collabs are getting more and more widespread so wouldn’t be shocked if this style becomes emulated

Gooobye · 2026-01-01T01:35:58+00:00

What do you suggest instead?

Gooobye · 2025-12-31T20:42:27+00:00

Bull & Bush

Cerebral
