Back from yesterdays brewery tour at Heavy Seas, and can say that i enjoyed myself.
Why wouldn't I, right? Beer? Beer knowledge? Beer people? Nothing wrong with that.
When you first go in, you are offered a $5.00 souvenir glass with 5 tasting tokens. From there my father and i proceeded to get a brew(Red Skies At Night within a week of brewing...so good). Then we walked around the front room, looked around at the shirts, sauces, glassware, other Heavy Seas Merch. We then sat down after getting a second beer, to watch the rest of the crowd file in, about 25 in all.
After 20 minutes of tasting, Chris Farley(I Know), came out and introduced himself and the tour was on it's way.
We saw what it takes to put together the beer, from storage of the hops and such, to the brewing and storage tanks, to the sanitation and bottling area...Firkins aged cask-Barrels.
All in all it was a pretty cool 90 minutes. If you are in the Baltimore or want to take a ride, i would suggest the tour just for the knowledge of how it all comes together.
