If you've got time, it's a good one. Glad you liked DFH, that's a great place, and DuClaw just does not get the wider recognition it deserves, IMO.<BR/><BR/>Buzz & Ned's is the hot ticket; Carl took me there in the Spring, and it was delicious. Be sure to try the sauces!Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-15975378171135647792007-10-11T09:32:00.000-04:002007-10-11T09:32:00.000-04:00Hi Lew, I'm down in Richmond, VA right now and hav...Hi Lew, <BR/><BR/>I'm down in Richmond, VA right now and have Legends, Richbrau and Capital Ale on my radar.<BR/><BR/>I stopped at Dogfish Head on the way down and was in heaven, I even liked the IPAs they had (30, 60, 90 minute). The Chickory Stout was delish (my wife who doesn't like dark beers loved it). Food was outstanding as was the distilled spirits.<BR/><BR/>They have a pear infused vodka that I thought I'd let you know about since you love pears (you probably already knew that, but..hey why not let ya know..) I bought a bunch of it and can't wait to sip it with a friend of mine back home.<BR/><BR/>Also hit DuClaw as well, damn they were also fabulous, especially the Toffee Nut Brown Ale. I can see why its your fave.<BR/><BR/>Finally, (sorry to be a pain in the ass and blather) but I was told that in Richmond, the best 'Que place is Buz and Neds, gonna hit it later, wondered if you'd ever been?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-71976891235511473262007-10-06T10:45:00.000-04:002007-10-06T10:45:00.000-04:00welcome to the Bible Belt, Lew.

Having lived in the middle of it for years (thankfully no longer, I can attest and testify to the Dry nature of the area.<BR/><BR/>An awful pile of those "Family friendly" places down there, couple of catfish shacks as well that would have been good with a beer but had to 'settle' for "southern style" tea (super sweet).<BR/><BR/>So, sounds like a big time down there, even with the dry spots. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
