Unsurprisingly mostly local beer in my top set as local probably makes up 90% of what I drink these days.

If you make it, let @solidfunk @nimbleprop and me know, we can try to put something small together or meet up someplace around town.

Will do … a few of us, myself included, met up with @nimbleprop for some after works beers in London on a Friday … gonna guess the year before lockdown, could have been the summer before.
That’s right. Nice crawl that day. We’re around, just give us the dates and we’ll hook something up.

Definitely! We could try to do a tasting, or at least bomb the taplist at Churchkey or something. Maybe @beastiefan2k will come up, and others are sometimes around as well.

Passing through on the way to where?
Richmond VA for one night then to stay with @SHIG in the Newport News/Hampton area and also hit Norfolk. Then Philly seems the likely final stop for this trip.
