Time to check in again. We found a place in Rock Hall, a month after my last post, but didn't get in till last November. I still have to be in NJ pretty regularly so I've been hanging out with the club there when I can, but it would be nice to find some brewers in the Kent County area. At least...

Barley Legal has a southern division now that meets a Cross Keys on the third tuesday of every month.

Since the pros and cons have been pretty we covered, I'll comment on experience with glass carboys. My original carboys are glass, and 5 1/2 years later I still have the original 2, plus 2 more I bought the following year when they were on sale, a 6.5, 6 and 2 5's. I have never used a bucket...

Thrillhouse, Church Hill is where we made the first offer! We're still hopeful the deal falls through for the other people. Looking at 2 this weekend, Henderson and Denton. We'd been casually looking for more than a year, and the Church Hill place kinda pushed us into making a commitment to...

Time to revive this thread! I've spent a ton of time hanging out on the eastern shore since the early 70's, and have finally convinced my wife that it's time to move there. I have an uncle outside Centerville, my father is in Stevensville, my sister is uh.., across the bridge and friends west...

I used a thin plastic cutting 'board' for this. Worked great.

I'm astonished by this. We've used UPS almost exclusively for 32 yrs, and tracking is 'new' in that range, but with easily 10's of thousands of shipments, this has never happened that we know of. And in the last 10, maybe, they arrive on time almost without exception (weather permitting, of...

We used to do this when they had their 'pay per click' model. When they stopped that we were left behind, although it was barely a few % of sales. Now you can sign up to sell direct, or through the 'Fulfilled by Amazon' program. The former does have benefit over your own website (the cust pays...

Wow, that news report clearly shows she initiated and escalated the situation by crossing illegally, deliberately stopping in the way of the van, then antagonizing the driver. She certainly did not deserve to be run over, but had she not done any one of those things, she'd have been sipping her...

I blame your local USPS sorting facility. My last order went to CA enroute from north jersey to south/central jersey. And if they don't mishandle it it still takes 2 days for a 1 hour driving distance. Before they 'streamlined' priority mail, or some such process change it was 1 day. I own a...

In our area, and pbly typical in many places, there are pedestrian cross walks with stop signs in the middle of the road, yet drivers still ignore them. I once stopped at one, and watched 10 cars pass through the other way and finally the person stepped back onto the sidewalk and waved me on...

I wish! In my teen days they gave me away on more than occasion.

The only craft beer I could find at 7-11 on a business trip - Fat Tire. Can't complain!

Ouch, took me 3 times reading to get that one. I can be a bit dense. She was pretty sweet too! And, she would rather have hot needles in the eye than read about beer. No worries about her drinking mine is a bonus. How about Two Guys Dept store? Or maybe Pomeroys? Or, Fabulous Furry Freak...

I could go on and on with the car theme.....too many 60's cars in my past. When I met my wife she was driving her grandfathers '66 Impala. What a beautiful car. You could almost stand on the ground straddling the engine, and nothing was hard to find or get to. You'd be lucky to see the ground...
