3,628 mile trip. Wisconsin, North Carolina, Baltimore, Washington DC, Red Brick Station, Cecil County, and Camp Hill, PA. All in 40 days… flat.
Perhaps you noticed that one of those stops was a brewery. Assumptions might be correct this time. But due to an oversight of the author of this blog, I failed to mention a momentous gathering at one of my favorite establishments in the Baltimore area….The Red Brick Station White Marsh Brewing Co. Yes the brews are good. Yes they have 99 cent Tuesdays. Yes they serve food. But the best part is that I got to see my good friend Dr. Speight and meet his fiancé Erica, a wonderful and charming young chemist who has a great smile. The pleasure was all mine. I look forward to returning, as soon as they set a date or in May if they don’t. (Jamie’s Graduation)
Aaron was part of the original CMRA task force (Campaign for Makers of Real Ale) whose sole mission was to discover every pub in Salisbury UK and sample their wares. Note: the task force was comprised of only two of us. We did our best and failure was not on our minds, just fine English ales. Many a memory was stirred that evening whilst we sipped on IPAs, Stouts, Porters, and Ales. I’m smiling just thinking about it. Speaking of brews, having returned to the center of the universe, Fond du Lac, WI (a stolen phrase from some Californian) I am acclimating myself to the term….double bubble. or as some of you refer to the 2 for 1 specials. Hypothetically speaking, a person could take $10 and visit, let’s say three pubs and could enjoy 6 very nice brews complete with dinner. Dinner = crackers, WI summer sausage, cheese, and a lively dip. Oh, and a pickle if you had requested a vegetable. Not a bad hypothetical deal.
