Victory and Iron HIll are very local to me, so I frequent them often.
Yards, Dogfish and Dock Street I've had maybe once or twice, but wasn't paying attention.

About two weeks ago, my wife and I went out to McKenzie Brewhouse (they won first place in the taste test). I went for a sampling of the full menu
(six regulars and three seasonals), and there was a lot to like.

- Of the regulars, the light and the american pale ale were the only ones I wasn't into.
- The belgian wheat was mild and easy to drink, but very refreshing - definitely a good summer beer.
- Saison Farmhouse was a little spicy. Kinda like a mild Golden Monkey.
- The English brown and oatmeal stout were great. Nuthin else to say. Just drink 'em. I took a half gallon of the stout to Tsunami Fest.
- Of the specials, the Dark Knight was really something (see below). My first thought was, "there's a lot going on here!". Lots of flavors, very
interesting and strong. Took a growler of that home after dinner.
^you can see I had to get that light beer out of the way quick!
