Tidewater Coastal Pilgrimage, the Rogue's notes.

 

Coastal high-tide on Broad Creek. St. Michaels, MD - 5/26/2024.

    Haven't been to St. Michaels, MD in a minute. Became time to take stock and stock up. A Tidewater Coastal pilgrimage of sorts. Indulged a bit. Beer. Spirits. Food. History. Beer. Did a few tag-ups... Gina's for a quick bite, Eastern Shore Brewing for a beer or two or three, Lyon's Distillery to fill our depleted bar, some street shop surfing, then finished with dinner at Limoncello's.  This is why we always make a timely return. Somewhat yearly. Hell, got married here! No wonder it's ingrained. Place always leaves us stoked. 

Eastern Shore Brewing

        

Colonel Kemp House.

           Yeah. Okay. It's from the county below, but RAR Brewing puts out a very solid IPA. Nanticoke Nectar. Served in many a' St. Michaels tavern. Dark golden pour with a near 2-finger head. Ample thick lacing. Floral and citrus in the nose. Biscuity. Caramel and pine. Flavors of the caramel-toffee malts. Plenty of mango, grapefruit, and resin. Earthy, bright, crisp finish. At 7.4%, you'll begin to feel the net one quick. Kinda like a dizzying 65 IBU hop punch in the mouth. Like I said. Solid. Rated a B+.
