R AND R IN REHOBOTH

I know, I know, where the hell was the updated tap list? Where was your Pulitzer prize writing blog post? And where have you been since Stone Soul Picnic? The answer my friends were blowing in the sea wind, or down my gullet. Last Wednesday night me and the "No fun twin" took a ride down to Dewey Beach to stay a couple of days with the other "No fun twin" and the family. My brother was in town from Florida for a few days and the rest of my family lives down that way. In other words it was a family affair. That is just too much family for me, so I went to see some of my other "family" at Dogfish and Fins Raw Bar. Dogfish was pouring Johnny Rawton Pils, a mighty fine take on pils from the most underrated brewer around, Mike Gerhart. Fins had Avery IPA and St. Rouge Red which was also going down mighty fine as well. Arena's Deli up the street had the Kaiser Pils from Penn on while I was killing time waiting for a trolley to take me back to Dewey. In other words, there wasn't much to do down there, except drink good beer. Which by the way, I am still good at. Some people lay in the sun on the beach, I beach myself out of the sun in those fine places. So on the way home Saturday, we stopped at Stewarts for a taste of Ric's barleywine fest. Yum, double yum. So I needed a day or two to, you know, to dry out. Now I'm back, ready to help throw down the hop monsters festival on the 18th. Be afraid, be very afraid.
