We arrived at Burley Oak Brewing exactly at 11:00 when it opened. Close to 50 of us rushed the bar with our drink orders. Shawn and I pooled our resources and tried samples of:

• Savage AF (IPA)
• Nose Candy (triple dry-hopped pale ale)
• Three Blondes Are Better Than One (fruited sour ale)
• Sorry Not Sorry Chicky (double dry-hopped sour ale)
• Fruits of Our Labor: Boysenberry (sour ale with boysenberry)
• Mango/Blood Orange JReam (fruited sour ale with lactose)
• Nitro Night Ryeder (nitro chocolate milk stout)
• Juice Jamz Volume 3 (fruited IPA)
• Lost (IPA)
• Sorry Chicky (dry-hopped sour ale)
• Cocoa + Cream (cream ale)
• Pale Ryeder (rye IPA)
• Control Method (pale ale)

All the sour ales were great, and all the other beers were good too. There were can releases of Nose Candy and Sorry Not Sorry Chicky. Dozens of folks not associated with our group lined up to purchase, and when I went to buy some Sorry Not Sorry Chicky, they were out of it. Fortunately my friend Mike had bought two 4-packs and let me buy one from him.

There was a small room adjacent to the bar called The Cellar that served barrel-aged ales. We sampled:

• Oakaley Doakaley (Flanders red aged in French and American oak barrels)
• Oud Skool (oud bruin aged in red wine barrels)
• Ruder Boy (barleywine aged in bourbon and brandy barrels)

At around 1:00 we boarded the bus and drank more beer on the way to our second destination:

• Victory Sour Monkey
• Lone Rider Pale Ale
• Mike's Belgian golden
• Hong Kong Beer Company Dragon's Back

RaR Brewing is located in Cambridge. There were already lots of customers when we arrived. We tried samples of:

• Choptank Oyster (oyster stout)
• Chopdank (double IPA)
• Bottom Feeder (farmhouse ale)
• Country Ride (pale ale)
• Nanticoke Nectar (IPA)

It was a fun place with a lively crowd. We got a tour of the brewery, which had some interesting artwork.

Back on the bus we had more beer including 2012 Heavy Seas Plank II and another beer that I think was a Stillwater collaboration but I'm not sure. At around 4:00 we arrived at Eastern Shore Brewing, which is located in a quaint town called St. Michaels. We piled in and sampled. I tried:

• Old Line (session IPA)
• Situation Critical (west coast IPA)
• Duck Duck Goose (porter)
• Knot So Pale Ale
• 12 Gauge (stout)

Shawn, who had previously visited St. Michaels, showed me a couple of the local places. First we stopped at Gina's Cafe, a nice, cozy, vegan-friendly place with food and drinks. We got some chips and dips.

We then walked to the Carpenter Street Saloon, a bar with great ambience. There were live music and lots of people having a good time. The draught selection was limited but they had a lot of booze. The place used to be a bank, and the town post office used to be upstairs.

After that we went to Lyon Distilling, which is located behind the brewery, for tastings and a tour. I'm not sure what I tried but I'm not a hard liquor person; the stuff just burns me. The distillery smelled like molasses.

Next to the brewery is St. Michaels Winery. We went to check the place out but by the time we got there it was closed.

We all boarded the bus for the hour-and-a-half ride back to New Carrollton. On the way Shawn treated us to classic rock, mostly Led Zeppelin, on his Bose speaker. It had been a great day.
