Perhaps, but when has that stopped anybody?

Pariah Brewing Company (San Diego)
Opening in Baltimore (Hampden)
Sometime this year (2021)

That Pariah thing is kind of random.

Sitting at Wheatland Spring enjoying a couple of farmhouse ales and a Smiths tune right now. cheers!

Speaking of expansion, Other Half to open fifth  and sixth locations in Buffalo and Philly.

Wheatland is a beautiful spot. Was raining when we went but the barn loft was really nice. Gotta get back there.

New brewpub in dc reopening today http://www.thepublicoptiondc.com/
not far from EchoStage/Other half DC…

Snallygaster tickets went on sale this morning. The FAQ says they are capping ticket sales at 50% capacity for COVID reasons. I guess that's good for making it less crowded (as long as it's the same amount of space), thought it probably means less beer choices (?)

Anyone been to this brewery/venue in Hershey PA?

Considering seeing Durand Jones/Indications there instead of 930.

Never heard of them. Is their emphasis on the beers or the venue?

Never heard of em'…. and based on some $pace Untappd stats, it doesn't look like they make much good beer. Doesn't mean you shouldn't go though!

Their overall average beer score on Untappd is 3.67 (out of 5). By comparison, DC Brau has a 3.67, Union Craft in Baltimore has a 3.77, Troeggs (also in Hershey) has a 3.79, Dogfish Head has a 3.84, and Other Half (multiple locations including DC) has a 4.23.

I see that Jack Johnson wannabe motherfucker Hiss Golden Messenger is playing at the same location. You should take the wife up Space, can probably get there quicker than going down I95 for a show.

I was actually eyeing the Old 97's show there yesterday, without realizing it was the same place Challenged was asking about. The beer average is similar (Strangeways is 3.7), but Hershey is 2:23 from me with no traffic, which is still quite a bit more than a drive to Fredericksburg.

Is there a Mendoza line for brewery scores? DC Brau and Union may not be top shelf but both have very good beers in their line up. Just gotta avoid the ones that suck.

Solid info; thanks. I think we will go to this show and try the beer, and report back. Wait around 65 days and I will let you know.
