A couple of weeks ago I was in Rochester and visited the Genesee Brewhouse. They had plenty on tap besides their classics; the double IPA was excellent. I find the DIPAs with relatively lower ABV to be very tasty; around 8% seems to be the sweet spot. I mostly stick to local brewers, of which there are a jillion in the DC-Baltimore area. ---

Per wiki — [Local brewers, as well as all microbrewers, can thank Anchor Steam beer and its owner Fritz Maytag.

Picked up 3 new (to me) ales yesterday. [![](https://i.postimg.cc/jSKD6TJy/Beers-20230723.jpg) ](https://i.postimg.cc/jSKD6TJy/Beers-20230723.jpg) The Bell’s Porter was a tasty if fairly generic porter. The Bell’s Kalamazoo Stout was a good strong bitter Stout. I’ve had their Amber Ale before and it was pretty good. I haven’t tried the Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale yet. I’ll report back. I love their Bourbon Barrel Ale but a bit pricey to treat myself to it often. This is a much cheap ale. A 6-pack was $10.99. ---

To celebrate International Beer Day (If this is made up, keep it to yourself), I am trying a couple Black Flag Imperial Stouts, from Beer Valley Brewing Company. 11% ABV American Imperial Stout, rich, thick, tasty and deadly. ---

In the category of “Beers That Belong In A Chalace”, I am current sipping “Even More Jusus”, an imperial stout from Evil Twin Brewing. As black as the heart of a rabid Siamese cat, with tones of pure Kona coffee and To’ak Chocolate. Generally, I want people to try the beers I write about, but…_some of you just don’t deserve beer this good_. 😁 ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > Evil Twin Brewing. Theirs is an interesting story. Danish twin brothers, one owns **Evil Twin** , the other **Mikkeller’s**. Two excellent breweries owned by brothers who don’t necessarily get along . Both brothers originally were gypsy brewers (brewers who use an established brewery’s equipment to produce their beer). [Here’s more about them.](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/21/nyregion/evil-twin-mikeller-breweries.html) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-the-new-brew-revue-coming-right-at-you/984712.md?page=2)
