But based on the kind of goods that @Scraff lucks into...and the kind of beers you Baltimore folks typically have access to, I'd definitely take my chances.

My oldest son had it on his consideration list as a lacrosse school back in the early 2010s, but honestly...I don't think he would've been smart enough to hang there. Good luck in your continued search, though...this is a really fun time to watch teenagers to spread their wings a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 My mom is scheduled to get her 2nd jab tomorrow at 11 am in Alexandria. And they're being total dicks about rescheduling. I tried to be sympathetic about her plight, but I still want it to snow as much as possible. Her BF will be taking her in an AWD SUV...I think she'll be ok. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the heads-up, and we will definitely check that out! Saw you and @mappy discussing Pasadena area a few minutes ago, and it brought up such great memories that we made with an older couple my wife and I befriended through one of my jobs many years ago. They had a modest house a mile or so off Mountain Road, and probably a mile or two beyond CHS, just a couple minutes' walk from the Magothy River. We always loved taking day trips to visit them, because it was almost like a mini-vacation from our location in the over-packed, close-in NoVA 'burbs. They've both passed on in recent years...but a new brewery is ALWAYS a good reason to take a trip out Route 100. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amorphous Iodine Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 >When venturing outside, watch your first few steps taken on steps, sidewalks, and driveways, which could be icy and slippery, increasing your risk of a fall and injury. This advice is questionable. I heard of one theory that humans evolved to function best with head upright. Literally watching one's step causes one's head to look down and thus makes makes balancing that more difficult. Go running in the woods, looking straight ahead. Then try running while looking at your feet. (Ha just kidding, don't try it you'll run into a tree.) But seriously, is there any science supporting the advice to watch one's step?

Big healthcare at it again trying to get you to break your leg slipping on the ice by pushing flimsy science. It's true, the best way is eyes forward and just sprint outside.

Seems the Baltimore 'burbs have got more going on with regard to breweries than our corner of Fairfax County lately. I think it's time to switch up our typical Loudoun County brewery day-trips and head north into MD for a change.

clskinsfan Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 27/10 after a high of 31 today. Definitely a little discouraged by the 18Z runs. Hate seeing qpf vanish as we approach an event. And every model is way more icy now than it was yesterday for out here. I will take the 3 inches of coming concrete in stride though. True sleet bombs are rare. I am so tired from this 2nd covid dose that I might sleep through all of the snow anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was over visiting @Scraff's parking lot oasis last week and had a couple of beers from Ten Eyck and they were both amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the Bicycle Face, but I think he said they are in Queenstown near the outlet center so I'm going to have to make a trip there. Maybe meet up with @CAPE again for a couple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
