4th of July Weekend Breweries Visit

Went to four breweries over the weekend; Starr Hill, Blue Mountain, Champion, and Three Notch’d.  We stopped by Starr Hill's tasting room Friday and I had an IPA, I think it was King of Hop.  It was probably the best thing I’d had from Starr Hill.  We went to Blue Mountain for dinner and I had a Baltic Porter.  It’s pretty solid.  Chocolaty.  Most had Hopwork Orange.  It was good, too.  The next day we went to Champion and Three Notch’d in Charlottesville.  At Champion, I had a Kolsch.  It was fine.  Champion really likes IPAs.  Of the 6 taps they had at the tasting room, 5 were IPAs.  Others got IPAs and they were all good.  Not a loser in the bunch but nothing fantastic either.  At Three Notch’d we all got flights of tasters.  They had ~9 taps and we each chose 6 beers.  All the beers were good and the 40 Mile IPA was probably the best, possibly the best of the weekend.  I also had a Bourbon Barrel Stout from Bluegrass Brewing.  It was good.
