I stopped in at Legal Draft Beer Company in Arlington, Texas.  I enjoyed a great flight of beers.   Nowhere But Texas is a solid lager.  Easy drinking.  Smash and Grab is a solid IPA and Hazeas Corpus is a solid Hazy IPA.  Amicus is a really nice Mosaic IPA.  Old Fashioned Justice is a barrel aged IPA.  I’ve had a lot of barrel aged beers.  Yeah, this one is special.  Really special.  Tartfeasor is a nice Berliner Weisse.  Tart.  Crisp. Clean.  Backberry Tart is a really nice Radler with juice and beer – reminds me of the Radler in Munich.  Summer Recess is a Grapefruit Shandy – also gives me the Radler feel – yum – makes me want to cycle 20 miles and come back for more.   Lawktoberfest is a vey smooth malty Oktoberfest – would be great with pretzels – etc.  Legal Holiday is a dark spiced ale and feels right for cooler evenings.  Exhibit M is even richer and a nice dessert replacement.  Yummy Imperial Stout.

I stopped in at Dirt Farm Brewing in Bluemont, Virginia.  To be fair, the stop was after another stop at Bluemont Winery with my family and the winery was our main agenda item for the day.  The brewery was a convenient afterthought.  We did enjoy some tacos and wings from their food truck.  Their beers were tasty, with Oktoberfest being our favorite.  It is a rich, smooth, malty beer.  Perfect for the cool fall weather.

I stopped in at Revision Brewing Company in Sparks, Nevada.  The brewery is very close to the Reno/Tahoe airport and made for a great first stop after a long day of flying.  Revision is known for its IPA’s.  And as you can see below they have a full board of New England IPA’s alone.

The bartender made some suggestions for me and I tried their Disco Ninja New England IPA, DIPA, Double IPA, and Citra Slam.  Very seldom do I enjoy a flight where all of the beers are good.  I am impressed.  Three really good IPAs, all different, from the same brewery.  Well Done!  And if that’s not enough impetus, their Das Fest festbier for Octoberfest is also delicious.  Great breadth of brewing.  Cool location.  I even got myself a pair of glow in the dark socks with their logo.
