Off the charts appropriate. #keweenawbrewing "Early Autumn Ale". Fantastic caramel flavor with slight hop bite finish. #bskybeer

I picked up some good brewery swag during my visits this past week. #brewerystickers #brewerycoasters All either from North Carolina or Virginia. #bskybeer

I made it home in time to catch the start of the #redwings game. Appropriate #ArborBrewingCo #oktoberfest beer.

Fellow beer snobs know, it's a treat when uncommon beers are on the taplist. Delicious ESB had #sneakypenguinbc in Raleigh, NC. I chose it over a recently released black IPA & a dunkelweizen. Again, another 1st time visit. Sticker and coaster obtained. #ncbeer #beer #bskybeer

1st visit to #crookedhammock brewing taproom in Durham, NC, one of a few locations. Lillian's Lemonade Lift-off was a unique & (to a lemon lover like me) quite a treat for a hazy IPA. This place is huge, in & out. I should have taken more pics. #ncbeer #beer #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The 1st time visits continue but with a streak broken. No stickers at Gizmo Brew Works in Durham, NC, had to settle for a coaster instead. The sample tasted better than the full pour (I should have known the chocolate & PB brown ale was too gimmicky). #ncbeer #beer #bskybeer

Another 1st time visit, this one at #Ponysaurisbrewing in Durham, NC. Huge #Biergarten, they had trivia. Parking is at a premium here, I got lucky. A tulip pour of #Altbier for $6 & a $2 sticker. #ncbeer #durhambeer #beer #bskybeer

Wednesday started off in Virginia but the brewery taproom visits don't start till North Carolina. I luv the burgers @bullcityburger.bsky.social in Durham, & their beer is damn good too! "885 Honey Brown Lager" & "Watts Oatmeal Stout" pours, all well done. I finally got a sticker here. #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Then I walked over to @ardentcraftales.bsky.social just a hop, skip & a jump down the street from The Veil. Another 1st time visit. A can pour of their Festbier. #beer #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

A 1st visit to #theveilbrewing in Richmond, Virginia. A pour of #whiteferrari, a soft and creamy hazy IPA. Had a #remedyburger for lunch. #richmondbeer #virginiabeer #beer #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Also yesterday, a 1st visit to #1700Brewing in Newport News, Virginia. Forgot to take a pic of the delish Schwartzbier. Sample 7.5% maerzen off the tank. They've got a huge Oktoberfest event this Saturday. #vabeer #virginiabeer #beer #bier #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

A 1st visit yesterday #traditionbrewing in Newport News, Virginia. I needed something different badly and went with the strawberry/lemonade radler, quite refreshing. Having been up since 2:30, I was quite spent after this and was asleep a little more than an hour later. #beer #vabeer #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

My 1st ever visit #triplecrossbeer in Richmond, Virginia. One of 3 locations, this was in Fulton. Yummy hoppy Japanese Rice Lager "Hayabusa". $1 sticker. #vabeer #richmondbeer #beer #lager #bier #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

A very early rise tomorrow means taking it easy today. It's so nice outside I just gotta watch the #Lions on the #patioparadise. It might be the last Sunday of the year where we'll see 70F. #nflbeer #nabeer #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

The can says Dutch style pilsner. Interestingly, made in Germany. Canned March 31, 2026, they say it's good til June 30, 2027 🤷🏻. More of a sweeter lager, slightly bready/grainy, I don't have a problem paying $9.50 for 6x500mL cans. Purchased at Trader Joe's. #beer #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

When I stopped #OldNationBrewing on Saturday I picked up a 4pack of B-43 Pineapple, a 7% Brut IPA. It's probably my favorite in their B-43 series. A few new stickers on the hutch. #brutipa #mibeer #m43 #beer #bier #ipa #bskybeer #beersky #brewsky

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Out and about with my lovely lady celebrating our 28th anniversary. Proper attire and good beer required so we stopped at #OldNation. $10 keep the mug #Oktoberfest pour! Other pour was a pineapple brut IPA, good enough to get a 4pack to go. #bskybeer #beer #bier

A wonderful evening at the #Horrocks Biergarten. #HomesBrewing "Same Same Different" Hazy IPA, #AberrantAles Oktoberfest & #arvonbrewing "Kiwi vs Wallaby" Double Hazy IPA. #HorrocksLansing #beer #bier #michiganbeer #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Going to take it easy today but it's outside on the #patioparadise to watch the #Lions. Trying to enjoy this lame NA beer. Not that NAs are lame, but this one is. 🍻

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I screwed up and left these ribeyes on a bit longer than intended. Good thing I have a tasty beer from #Cheboyganbrew blueberry cream ale to enjoy while watching the #MSUspartans #gogreen #gowhite #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

That #lagerlife continues with a twist! This Baltic Porter from #NobleBeastBeer is one of the best I've ever had in the style. Sadly, my last can from the 4 pack I bought at the source. #patioparadise #lageryeast #cheersmrpumpkin #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Well beer friends, it's been one of those days I'm sure most everyone has experienced. We had to say goodbye to Mr. Pumpkin who has been with us for 16 years. If you're pouring a drink tonight, tip one up for him. 🍻😥🍻😥🍻😥

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Rare Sunday beers out on the #patioparadise on a wonderful evening of cooler temps & low humidity. The TV is updating so we can catch some rare Sunday college football. I'll start with #foundersbrewing #Oktoberfest #beer #bskybeer #beersky

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

So many late Aug & Sept birthdays we might as well have a Virgo Party! I got some fall beers for gifts. Lots of good friends & family, we had a blast. And, Western Michigan got screwed on that call last night. #bskybeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Western Michigan just got so fucked over, it's embarrassing.

More #GoGreen #GoWhite action with appropriate beverages in and outside the stadium. Not a coincidence, #MiBeer being consumed! #MSU #VictoryForMSU @foundersbrewing.bsky.social #bskybeer

I'm checking the weather forecast for today for tailgating (re: delicious Michigan beer drinking) thru game time and I see this ad that really touches my heart 🙄.

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I forgot to mention, my son showed up today with a 12 pack of this beer and hung out with me 30 minutes or so after working a 10 hour shift. Looks like I did something right. 🍻 #bskybeer #beersky #raisegoodpeople

Chillin back home on my birthday and listening to the Royals v Marlins game, watching @beerguysradio.bsky.social and drinking #FoundersBrewing #Oktoberfest Maerzen. A lighter version this year, I'm okay with a malty lager crusher. 7 runs between the two, in the 1st inning. 🤷🏻 @david-keith.bsky.social

After checking into my Greenville, SC hotel, I wandered down to Society Sandwich Bar & Social Club where I ate a delish hot chick 'wich and scored two great beers. Rice Crispy Boi tasted like, yep, rice crispies treat, and Lime Drop lager quenched. #bskybeer #beer #beersky #sandwichbeer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Next on Wednesday was a 1st visit to #oskarblues in Brevard, NC. Check out the brewery swag I picked up, I gotta try those papers 😂. "Mama's Little Yellow Pils" pour. I found out that their parent company is Monster, and they also own #CigarCityBeer & possibly #PerrinBrewing #bskybeer #beersky #beer

Sean D. @beersnobsean.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
