any creation by Spring House Brewing Company.
In Philly over the weekend and found the award winning (prior to launch of the company) Smoked Porter, 9%.
From their website, they describe this masterful creation as follows:
"Prior to brewing our Smoked Porter, Matt selects specialty malts to be smoked over an open flame, imparting a unique flavor profile in the porter. The malts are smoked using apple and hickory wood for a full 72 hours. Spring House Brewing Co. chose to smoke the grain in a local smoke house that dates back to the late 19th century. This one-of-a-kind smoke house imparts layers of smokey depth to the beer that cannot be replicated."
I will agree! It is a one of a kind and a must drink with food because frankly it is a wasted moment if you don't pair this beer up. Try it with BBQ, Pork especially or fatty duck! I once had an early version at the brew master's pig roast- paired it with a savory Blue Cheese, Fig & Herb Cheesecake - ah those happy moments in life you will never forget.
WHY MARYLAND? WHY? Please allow this beer to be distributed to us!
Otherwise - travel north bound and hit up the Tap Room which just opened in Feb of this year!
Check it out! Located in a barn in Conestoga, PA.
The Taproom, is a sister company that sells beer made at the Conestoga location in pints, growler fills, 22oz bottles, and six packs.
EVEN BETTER - They will offer small batch brews made at the Taproom.
Like I said, pair it with food. They are serving up soups, salads, and sandwiches.
Of course to keep you thirsty, they offer shuffleboard and Zoltar.
