Sad ...there were only 4 available brews last night.

But yeah, the Pilsner is good.

Apparently the Maple Porter needed to age a little more. I'm kind of chomping at the bit myself.

This reminds me of the time I visited the Victory brewery.
We walked into the fermenting room, and the guy next to me leans over and says "That's the smell of a yeast infection".
About 10 seconds later, a woman who had just walked in exclaimed "MMM! That smells Deeeeelicious".

Thankfully, she had no idea why we started giggling uncontrollably.

it does suck when they only have 6 draft lines and 2 of them are empty. but I'm kind of glad that Dock St actually takes the time to make sure that the beers are aged properly rather than rushing them to the floor.

that is my biggest complaint about Triumph (at least the one in Olde City). last time I was there at least 2 of the beers which I sampled tasted green. ick!

yes, the Maple Porter (Baltic Maple as they call it) is quite good. I finally had the much anticipated and talked about Baltic Thunder by Victory yesterday at the Grey Lodge Pub Groundhog Day party and it blows that stuff out of the water!
