Map of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, Breweries

Lebanon County

Following our post the other day of Dauphin County Breweries – we present here, a map of the Lebanon County Breweries. In all there is currently six brewery locations in Lebanon County, divided up by four different breweries. (Snitz Creek Brewing has three locations in Lebanon County.) The four unique breweries are – Rotunda Brewing Company, Snitz Creek Brewing Company, Schaylor Brewing, and Lebanon Valley Craft Brewery. All offering a host of different types of beers, foods, and locations. Thus making Lebanon County definitely worth a visit for the breweries alone.

Ok, final review from my time at the Gin Mill in Lebanon. And still working on my 30 for 30, Day # 9. Yesterday’s I kinda uploaded with little fanfare, through it up at 1PM, didn’t do much of the marketing behind it, and right after it dropped, J. Doncevic’s dropped. Mine uploaded at 12:56 and his uploaded at exactly 1:00. I didn’t quite mean to line it up that way, it just kind of did, and I didn’t mean to not do much fanfare. But for some reason it was a struggle to write yesterday’s. I think I was in one of those ‘funk’ ‘mood’ things. So therefore it felt like pulling teeth to get that review out. Yesterday was just a weird day overall I suppose. But it is out, and you can check it out here: There’s Nuttin’ Butter Than a Nice Pair of Cam Pants Review. And if you missed it, you can check out J. Doncevic’s review from yesterday here: EBK – Gashadokuro (Ghost 782) – Adroit Theory. It is getting lots of views and people loved his review, so be sure to check it out!

So back to the review on hand…. last monday after work I stopped at the Gin Mill in Lebanon PA. I had two Toppling Goliath beers: King Sue and Intergalactic Warrior. This was the third beer I had that night before heading home. And all three beers were top notch fantastic beers. This was about as perfect as a sour can get, and the other two were about as perfect as a DIPA and a IPA can get. It was a good night.

If you ever go to Rehobeth Beach or Dewey Beach or Lewes Beach you need to find time to stop at Dewey Beer Company. Its a small restaurant and brewery, that is kind of easy to miss. It sits on Rt. 1 but it looks kinda -shack like – which doesn’t sound like the best descriptor for its location, but its somewhat accurate. In the last year or so they’ve been killing it with both their sour game an their IPAs. Their sours are getting constant good reviews (they are typically called Secret Machine – X) and often muled back to places by someone who traveled down. They also show up at a lot of beer shares and beer trades. So be on the lookout for them if you are interested in some good sour beers. You can check out their Untappd page here: Dewey Beer Company on Untappd.

Beer: Secret Machine – Key Lime & Tangerine
Brewery: Dewey Beer Company
Style: Sour – Fruited
ABV: 6%
IBU: None
Untappd Write-Up: A sour combination of hybrid citrus fruits resulted in a spritzy and tangy Secret Machine.

This is a beautiful light yellow, effervescent, sparkling, bright glowing yellow. It looks like most lighter fruited sours. Where the berry sours typically have a purplish or bluish hue, the sours that rely on lime, or orange or peach or tangerine or lemon have a bright yellow going to orange look. (Mango IPAs and sours usually have a bright orange look, and ones with guava typically have a pinkish hue.) There is a small ring of a head, fine but there, not really necessary for a good sour but nice to see.

Aroma is very sharp tartness, very heavy lime, and a fair amount of the tangerine. It makes for a nice sour tart blast to your nostrils. The smell is enticing and the beer is so beautiful that it calls to you right away to drink it.

And you will be so glad you did. This is a delicious beer. It is tart with a fair amount of puckering, but not too tart to be off putting or too sour. There is a very strong key lime and citrus flavor to this, the tangerine then comes in and provides a nice fruity burst to the beer. The two compliment each other perfectly, the lime and the tangerine make an excellent combination. Providing both tartness and fruitful flavor the two work in great unison to provide one heck of a fantastic beer. Sour but fruited, citrusy but interesting, tart but juicy, lemony and lime but also with various other notes and flavors; this is just an extremely well rounded beer.

My Untappd Rating: ****.25
Global Untappd Rating: 4.07 (as of 11.9.19)

Last night I met my friend D. Scott who I do the podcasts for (WTF Did I Just Watch) (and soon to be video game one) and we went to The Manor along Rt. 39 where I had AuZealand by Boneshire Brew Works followed by New Trails: Broken Heels. I’ve had AuZealand several times and did a review for it previously. But the New Trails was a new beer (and my new beer for the day, still maintaining at least 1 new beer per day, and 1 new blog post per day). So that will likely be the next review up. So look for that tomorrow.

Until then everyone, keep drinking, keep tipping, and drive safe!

Finally…. finally… must I say it again? Finally! I got to try this amazing and delicious beer. And it is completely all the hype that there is about it, and it lives up to it and then some. This is just an incredible beer that drank down so fast, I probably could have ordered four or five before realizing it (or realizing where I was, or the ABV, or cost), because this was that easy of a drink to quaff down and the booze on this is so subtle and barely perceptible – until it hits you square across the face after your done drinking it!

I’ve been wanting to check out the Gin Mill in Lebanon for a while, and been receiving Untappd notifications about them as a verified venue, and getting Facebook alerts on them and stuff, and seeing that they get a pretty good lineup going, I finally made the drive after work to get there. It was very worth it. Foreign Objects, LIC Beer Project, Dewey Beach Beer, Toppling Goliath, with Rotunda Brewing, Pipeworks, and more Dewey on their on-deck, I would definitely say they know craft beer and know quality beer. They had a range of stouts / porters with two on Nitro, some middle of the road IPAs / lower quality craft beers, as well as the heavy hitter hops and sours. The place is part dive bar, part good food restaurant, and they were well busy on a Monday night at 730-845 when I left. I got three beers while there – King Sue (Toppling Goliath), Intergalactic Warrior (Toppling Goliath), and Key Lime & Tangerine (Dewey Beer); and all three were fantastic. So lets start with the first one – King Sue and break her down.

Beer: King Sue
Brewery: Toppling Goliath Brewing Co.
Style: IPA – Double / New England
ABV: 7.8%
IBU: 100
Untappd Write-Up: This lusciously hazy double IPA gains its hints of mango, orange, and pineapple from the use of the delicious Citra hop.

While that looks like a crazy amount of IBU; it hides it all, there is practically no bitterness to this, just a slight dryness. Its all juice, its all delicious, and it is definitely “luscious”.

Excuse the pictures a bit, their dark, and the bar area of the Gin Mill was dark, so not wanting to be a disturbance or the weirdo at the bar I chose not to use the flash, and so the pictures came out a bit dark, but I still think they show how beautiful this beer is. And it is certainly a beautiful beer. The color of orange juice, with a haze and an opaqueness with no sediment. It has a great head with lots of foam, lots of carbonation, that is overflowing the draft pour.

The aroma is fantastic as well, very hoppy, very juicy hoppy, you get bright powerful notes of the fruity hops, mango, orange, citrus, pineapple, it all hits you and it hits you powerfully. Even in a full bar with lots of other beers, foods, people around, I got the whiff of the fruity hops as soon as my bartender sat it down in front of me. Its like a sucker punch from a fruit cocktail with hops right at your nose.

…and then you get to the taste. You wouldn’t even know this was a beer, or alcohol. Its straight juice. Like GOOD juice. Like Sunny D when you were a kid and you came inside from playing with your Tonka Trucks on a dirt pile. This is immediately wonderful. There is no bad things to even say about this. You get all the citrus notes, you get multiple fruity hop notes, you get orange, mango, pineapple, citrus, you get hop, you get juice, all in a fantastic wonderful dance in your mouth. There is a slight dryness to it, but with how juicy it is, its basically cancelled out. Even saying it sounds oxymoronic, but it is there, its probably from the 100 IBU or the yeast strain. But there is this slight dryness at the same time as its so juicy. This goes down so smoothly, so easily. Nothing cloying, nothing too heavy, just the right mouthfeel. You don’t taste or feel the 7.8% ABV until its finished and you go to order your next. I could see a four pack or six pack of this being very problematic on a hot summer day when I’m supposed to be getting chores done. (…in so far as this would mean zero chores would be getting done.)

I cannot recommend this enough. In fact, all three beers I had last night at the Gin Mill; King Sue, Intergalactic Warrior, and Key Lime & Tangerine; were all fantastic. All highly recommended. I’ve had four different beers from Toppling Goliath so far and cannot say enough good things about them. (King Sue and Intergalactic Warrior last night, and Pseudo Sue before as well as a hop variant of Pseudo Sue from Tavour.)

My Untappd Rating: ****.50
Global Untappd Rating: 4.42 (as of 11.5.19)

November is rolling on, and I’m keeping pace so far. Getting a mile walk/run per day. Having (at least) one new beer each day. And getting one new blog post per day. So five days in and so far five days good. Only thing I didn’t keep up was on the 2nd I only 8.8K steps rather than my goal of 10K steps per day (but I think the first made up for it with 21K steps). So here’s to the next 25 days going as smoothly as the first 5!

Cheers everyone!
