3.75/5 rDev -1.8%
Upstairs at the main entrance it's a single room, restaurant/bar. The bar itself is smallish but I managed to grab a corner seat. Decor relative to the area is reasonable, simple and passable with brick walls and a single small TV at the bar to view the NBA playoffs. It's far from anything special but it's wholly passable. Place was fairly buzzing for a Sunday night. My Reuben sandwich was very good, plus fries, the Switchback Ale was not quite so satisfying but was okay. They had a fair selection based largely on their Berkshire beers as others have pointed out, but I didn't see any wild varieties to excite me there. A few other nice craft brews were on hand so I would recommend a visit if you're in town, but be sure to visit McNeill's before you worry about Flat Street. Probably best to use Flat Street for your eating / beer experience and rely on McNeill's for the pure beer activity. Although the wait staff was friendly enough, the place was busy and fairly crowded, seemed a bit cliquey and hard to fit into as compared to McNeill's.

Brattleboro Round II....
Arrived in town late Saturday morning after stopping by the Farmer's Market earlier in the day. Once we got settled in the hotel, I dedicated myself to some quality record digging at In The Moment and Turn It Up! down the street. Once I was done shopping, it was time for some afternoon beers.
The Flat Street Brewpub has an awesome location at the Latchis Hotel in downtown Brattleboro. The bar has high ceilings with a comfortable bar and some great art work decorating the walls.
I ordered a Smoked Turkey, Roasted Corn & Avacado Wrap for lunch and started with the 'Palette' that offers five 5 oz samples ($6). I love the fact that you can pick your own beer samples.
The Berkshire Brewing Company connection is strong here, expect about 9 of their drafts available with options like Steel Rail Extra Pale Ale, Traditional Pale Ale, Lost Sailor IPA, Coffeehouse Porter, River Ale, Gold Spike Ale, Imperial Stout and Hefeweizen.
They also offer some guest taps with viable beers that include Wolaver's Wildflower Wheat, Guinness, Young's Luxury Double Chocolate Stout, Rogue Brutal IPA, Brooklyn Weisse, DFH 60 Minute IPA, Stone IPA and Maredsous Triple.
This place was really good, definitely a must stop when in the area.

I've stayed in the Latchis Hotel three times now, and each time has begun with a stop in the Flat Street. There's an unmatched coziness in sitting in the flickering corner upstairs having a BBC pint after a long, winter night drive up, and a warm charm of the downstairs tap room rivaled only by the friendly service of the barkeep. This is by far my favorite bar in Vermont, and one of my favorites in New England, in general. The current relationship with BBC provides a quasi-brewpub vibe, and word is that they will be reviving the long-dormant basement brewery this spring, while maintaining the solid tap lineup and BBC focus. It keeps getting better here.
The Flat Street is divided into a cozy, but airy street-level pub with exposed brick walls, big storefront windows, well-kept couches and tables; and a basement-level tap room with a long tap list, glowing iron beams along the low ceiling, small windows tucked behind the attractive, copper-backed bar, and the only bartender I have ever deemed a barkeep. While the atmospheres are quite different, they are equally relaxed and inviting, and both offer excellent, rotating tap selections.
The tap selection is especially strong on Vermont and New England beers, with all of northern New England and Massachusetts being represented, but they are complemented by a solid lineup of other craft and imported beers. I appreciate the BBC focus, as well as the option of serving styles (something that seems prevalent in the state).

I visited a couple of times during a recent visit to Brattleboro.
The first visit they closed the basement tap room early on a Friday night which bummed me out as they have a much large tap list down there (30 total with 11 of them being BBC brews). We came back the next night and had more success.
We had a nice barman that took good care of us then we moved to a table and had dinner.
Pours were either 10oz. or 16oz pours.
I will plan on visiting the next time I am in town but will show up around 7 or 8PM to make sure that the basement is open. The upstairs was more crowded with less beer options.

A nice little beer bar Brattleboro is lucky to have. In this economy it took alot of guts to add a second tap room in the basement and I admire the owners for pushing the envelope.
The main focus is on beers from the Berkshire Brewing Co, but they have a solid line-up (very good, not great) if BBC is not your thing.
Downstairs is apparently only open on Fri/weekends so plan ahead. It was not open on my visit and I didn't really care.
Upstairs and downstairs can get a little rollicking by New England standards, good for them.
Flat Street can be a bit hard to find, but I love that the Latchis Movie Theater has a direct entrance into the main bar area, it's a great complex overall, something you would expect to see in NYC or Boston. You can even catch the latest anti- USA movie at the Latchis ;) and finish up with a few beers without leaving the premises. The attached hotel seems to be a nice clean bargain.
Being a NJ/NY transplant I love the fact that if you squint a little you can convince yourself that you are in the East Village or Hoboken.
Spent a nice evening at the bar, drinking DFH 60 min IPA, talking to fellow beer/ football fans.
Take a short walk up the hill, stop in Sams for free popcorn first, and go to McNeills. An excellent beer experience in the middle of nowhere.
Now with the Whetstone, Brattleboro is becoming a beer destination. Irene damaged the basement area- sad because the did a nice job on it.

To reiterate the point of an earlier reviewer: THIS IS NOT A BREWPUB. It's a beer bar, with a decent selection. Upstairs, they have about 15 tap lines, mostly focusing on beers from Berkshire Brewing Company (BBC). I think they had about 7 BBC beers on tap upstairs, along with a somewhat pedestrian array of microbrews (Guinness, Harp, Smithwicks, etc.).
If the upstairs looks too crowded (as it often does), don't be afraid to squeeze your way inside and head downstairs to the "Tap Room," where there's more space, and more tap lines (they have about 30 lines downstairs, and the beers are different from those offered upstairs). On our visit, they had an eclectic mix of taps downstairs, including beers from Dogfish Head, Ommegang, Stone, Switchback (Vermont brewer), and Allagash.
If you're upstairs, it's first-come, first-served for tables, so grab whatever's open. Downstairs, I think you can put your name on a list to get a table, but that might not be accurate.
Side note: They also have occasional beer specials (on Mondays, for example, they serve pints of the Imperial Stout for $3.75, which is almost dangerously cheap).
The food was average bar fare. Not bad, but nothing overly special. Service was friendly, but a bit slow. It's a decent destination for beer geeks, but for the true _brewpub_ experience in Brattleboro, you'll need to walk a few blocks over, to McNeill's Brewery on Elliot Street.

This is not a brewpub BUT it used to be and then it was a tap room owned by Berkshire Brewing Company but now it is only a restaurant with a relationship with BBC that has a lot of their beers and other micros on tap.
The downstairs now has 30 taps and they have about 15 upstairs. Lots of BBC as I noted, including the Imperial Stout going for $6 for an 20 ounce imperial pint! How about it!
Bartender was nice enough to talk to us about the remodeling and expansion downstairs. It was a pretty dead Sunday afternoon as it was so things were pretty mellow at Flat Street.
We got some bean dip as the menu was pretty minimal. It was decent, nothing spectacular, the type of food you'd expect from a coffee shop or something.
I can only imagine that downstairs has a lot more going for it, I looked at the beer menu and there were some things that I'd definitely like to get next time I am here.
Worth stopping in for food as McNeill's is lacking in that department, they also have Switchback on tap.

Stopped in here on 5/2/09 with my friend Stan, an aspiring beer advocate and his g/f. It says brewpub in the name but they don't actually brew beer anymore. Lots of BBC beers on tap and a few other recognizable names.
We ate upstairs but should have gone downstairs where they had more taps. That's the only reason why I rated the selection low but I encourage you to go downstairs if you do stop by.
Food was too expensive for my tastes and it didn't seem to line-up well with the pricing. For a $9-something burger, I would expect french fries and not potato chips. The burger was good though, no doubt about that. It's just too much to pay and you can go to the Alchemist (if you don't mind driving about 2 hours north) or Madison Brewing in Bennington and get a much better deal on food and beer(I've heard good things about Madison from a friend that went there).
Overall, it's not a bad little place. Beer pricing actually isn't too bad and it's too bad that I didn't check out the downstairs taps. Would probably stop back in someday but not for the food.
The waitress that we got was very friendly and she took good care of us. I believe that they get a large Deaf clientele due to the Deaf school about 5 minutes away and that's not a bad thing because I felt comfortable there.
Give it a shot and tell us what you think.

Stepped in on a semi-busy night with my girlfriend. Instant impression is that it is set up well, with good atmosphere.
Stood at the front for 5 minutes or so before we were very curtly told that we should have seated ourselves.
Got to the table, ordered two waters, the only reason I know what they had on tap or in bottles was due to the table having a beer menu on it already. Didn't see a single waitstaff for the next 20-25 minutes. So I'm getting pretty pissed off at this point, the waitress comes over and still is not apologetic, she actually seems annoyed that she has to serve us! Believe me it was not that busy in the place, I've worked foodservice before I know how it is. Eventually we got up I told the waitress we wouldn't be staying and we went down to McNeills one street over which is always inviting, cold bartenders that warm up with a little conversation, my kind of place.
Full BBC lineup plus a few other tidbits, honestly nothing that interesting.

This place is right off the main streets of Brattleboro and seemed like an interesting place to check out. It also came recommended by a good friend.
The decor of this brewpub seemed to be a little artsy. Small tables w/ chairs, couches w/ coffee tables, single lit candle at each table, and a small bar at one end of the room. Kind of felt like I was in a coffee house more than a bar. It also has a downstairs that has pool tables and dart boards. This brewpub seems to be aimed more toward the locals than a tourist passing by.
The beer selection is one of the best features of this bar. They have about every Berkshire Brewing Company beer on tap which is definatly a plus. I've only had a few of their beers but so far none of them has let me down. They have a few guest taps as well if BBC isn't what you're craving that night. The beers were at a reasonable price for a typical upper scare brewpub.
We didn't eat at out that night but we did look at the menu. Although the food did seem very appetizing, it also seemed slightly expensive. The bartenders were fairly quick w/ getting our beers. But on the other hand after we had sat down the waitress was fairly slow and did mess up more than one of our beer orders. Giving her the benefit of the doubt I know that everyone is human and makes a mistake once in a while.
If you find yourself in Brattleboro, Vermont and are in need a good brew then give this place a try. Just remember that this place does fill up quickly after 10pm so I'd recommend showing up earlier (unless you like the packed bar crowd).

"I loved the quality of the cards, this is my second order, and will be placing another for my daughter's graduation invitations. The service is quick and fast and the pictures come as clear as submitted. I just love this company. I will recommend them to all my family and friends."
"The cards are thick and of good quality, and the picture colors came out true. The text print is excellent. They also arrived several days earlier than expected (I ordered standard shipping). My only request is that there was an option for the back that would allow handwritten notes before the cards are sent out."
"Excellent quality, sturdy card and envelope. Loved the design and quality of the pictures printed . Came a couple days before expected. Received many complements!"
"This is not your typical sappy and boring holiday card. The colors are brilliant and seem to sparkle. I upgraded the paper and the card stock was top quality, especially comparing the price to the cost of a single card from a boxed set that is not even personalized. This worked well for us because we are a five person blended family with three boys with many interests. The main picture of all of us fit perfectly in the largest box and there were four boxes left to highlight the rest of the year's activities by individual. I also like that it is a New Year's card with a bold saying on it. New Year's cards avoid the whole religious problem some people may have and I didn't feel I had to rush to get the cards out."
"Great paper quality and fun and festive design. Only a small drawback as it is slighty difficult to write on backside of card as the texture is slick but not like photo paper. A darker or metallic "sharpie" type marker worked ok."

EL PASO, Ill. -- On Good Friday, a Rockford man set out on a 380 mile walk across Illinois, bearing a cross.
His destination is Alto Pass, Illinois the home of the 111 foot tall Bald Knob Cross for Peace.
Jeremy Leisky said the journey is an expression of his religious beliefs, and a symbol of unity and hope.
"You got a lot of people out there that feel they are alone in this world, but you're not. We're here for each other. And God is here for us," said Cross Bearer Jeremy Leisky.
Leisky walks 20 miles a day, and will arrive in Bloomington on Saturday.
He welcomes anyone, who wishes too, to carry the cross.

PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush presents the third of five key matchups this week in advance of the Packers' Week Four game against the Broncos at Lambeau Field Sunday.
Broncos OTs Ryan Clady and Orlando Franklin vs. Packers LOLB Clay Matthews
It's hard to ignore the fact that Matthews, the reigning PFW/PFWA Defensive MVP, has only one sack through three games after registering six sacks through three games in 2010 on the way to a spectacular 17-sack campaign (including the playoffs). He has been limited in practice by a quad injury, but it certainly didn't appear to impede him last week against the Bears, when he had about as good a defensive performance as a player could have without making a sack.
A constant presence who appeared to wear out the Bears' blockers in the fourth quarter, Matthews had four QB hurries, 3½ knockdowns and 2½ tackles for loss, including one tackle behind the line of scrimmage on Bears RB Matt Forté's first carry that set the tone for a great effort by Green Bay's run defense.
Expected to move around and pick his spots as usual, Matthews is likely to contend with both the 6-6, 315-pound Clady on the left side and the 6-5½, 330-pound Franklin on the right side. When healthy, Clady is arguably the most talented player in Denver's offense. But the former 12th pick in the 2008 draft hasn't been quite the same player since suffering a major knee injury in the '09 offseason. Long-armed and nimble, Clady tends to play soft and, at times, has trouble handling power rushes.
Franklin, the team's second-round pick replacing Ryan Harris, who signed with the Eagles, is big and strong but is going through his share of growing pains. He plays with tenacity and tries to bury defenders in the ground, but his technique is inconsistent, as he has a tendency to rely too much on his natural strength.
It will be interesting to see if the Broncos' concentration on stopping Matthews once again opens up sack opportunities for Packers DE Jarius Wynn, who registered a pair of sacks against the Bears

Where To Meet Someone
If you're single, where is a good place to meet someone? I'm now happily married as of five years today, but before that I tried to come up with answers to this.
Do you go to the night club with the most cars in the parking lot? I tried that several times and came up with answers I didn't need.
It was once said that a grocery store was a good place. I only encountered that once and it wasn't good.
I bumped into an attractive young lady with my cart. She looked at me and said: 'You must be single.' I asked what gave it away. Was it the items in my cart like the small laundry soap, the half gallon of milk and the single TV dinner? She said: 'No, it's because you're ugly.'
Then there's the internet dating websites. I never ventured into that. I decided to leave exploring strange new worlds to James T. Kirk of Star Trek.
Now the experts have come up with even another scientific way to meet someone. It's called, going to the coffee shop.
A fancy coffee shop may be the ultimate pickup spot. Pleasant smells could help you score a phone number, according to new research.
Women especially were more likely to give men their phone numbers when approached at delicious smelling places like bakeries, coffee shops and pastry shops, then when they were chatted up elsewhere.
Enticing scents may lift her mood, making her more receptive to your advances.This may be the way to get something fresh and sweet one way or the other.

4.5/5 rDev +11.9%
8 ounce glass at the Stone Winter Storm for eight dollars, all proceeds went to charity for
ALD, always willing to give some money for a good cause
Color was golden yellow with a slight orange tint, head was about 1/2 inch and had a soapy white appearance, some pretty impressive retention and lacing for a beer that is about four years old
Smell was missing something, lots of sugary aromas, different scents of fruit consisted of raisins, cherries, tangerine, and grapefruit, some bready malt aromas but none of these smells were substantial or stuck out much
Taste was calm and inviting that I could have probably drank a gallon of this stuff, well that might have been an exaggeration, taste was sweet all the way around, citrus at first with oranges and tangerine, later dark fruit surfaced with raisins and prunes leading the way, sugar hit the tongue each sip, aftertaste was super smooth and relaxed, not much hops left in this one if there was much to begin with when it was fresh, it was still well balanced regardless, some candy-like tastes came about when it continued to get warm, awesome beer overall
Body was nice with a medium body, thicker than most tripels I have seen, mellow level of carbonation, taste lasted a long time, sweet and creamy mouthfeel
Could have drink this all day, it went down so easy because of its unparalleled smoothness, alcohol percentage is not too bad, under eight percent, light on the stomach even though it is sweet, it had a subtle and light flavor with great drinkability
Have been wanting to try this for a few years now, finally was able to take this off my wants list, deserved to be the most expensive beer on the day, super good tripel, wish Stone made beers like this more often, highly recommended for anyone who is lucky enough to try it, would drink again in the future if possible with no questions asked, one of the best beers I have ever had from Stone Brewing

On draft at the 2008 Stone Winter Storm
Appearance is a murky golden hue, thin off-white head dissipates quickly, minimal lacing
Smell is dark fruits (raisins, cherries), honey, citrus, thick caramel malts, rather subtle for a Tripel
Taste is big raisins up front, followed by brown sugar and molasses, some sweet honey, finishes sweet and slightly dry
Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied, thick chewy texture, highly carbonated
Drinkability is good, this is a pretty solid Tripel that loses some points on the weak aromas, but is otherwise decent, this has held up well over time (I think it was brewed in 2004?), definitely worth trying once, especially since proceeds go to charity

A: Buttercup color with a decent bit of haze but almost no head. A small snow white ring remains.
S: Banana, cloves, cardomon and vanilla.
T: Strong banana candy flavors transforms slowly to butterscotch. Finishes lightly grassy and somewhat spicy. Thats really about it,
M: Medium body, syrupy mouthfeel.
D: Not bad. Good flavor but nothing special. Lacks a lot of depth.

This beer pours a cloudy orange, with a tiny white head. The head fades fast, leaving a very thin lacing.
This beer has a grainy aroma. It has some spices mixed in also. Mostly cloves. Some citrus hops aroma is present, but only just slightly. All the aromas of this beer are very subtle.
This beer tastes exactly like it smells. Grainy up front, with some spicyness. Cloves and maybe a little coriander. Some citrus flavor is present.
This beer is very low in carbonation, but since it is old, I expected as much. It goes down smooth, leaving a grainy aftertaste.
This beer might be a decent session beer, if it was accessable. It is quite rare though, and hard to get even one bottle. It does taste good though.
Overall: Stones was selling this beer as part fo their Winter Storm party. It was $22 a bottle, with all the procedes going to ALD charitys. I liked this beer. I was happy to give a little.

Looking back on my rating notes from a while back: A friend and I split a case of this to help the cause. Truly sad circumstances that made this beer come about. Excellent spice and fruit scent. Tastes of banana, apple, citrus, alcohol, hops and something else which I can't put my finger on. When Stone does a Belgian, they do a great job.

Sampled courtesy of sprinkle. Pours a dark, golden yellow, good head, and good lacing. Aroma is grainy, juicy, and fruity.
Tastes nice and malty, with apple and pearish fruits. Mouthfeel is very light for the style, but good for this particular beer. Slightly creamy texture. I wish I could get more of this, wish Stone still made it, etc.

Last night, my wife and I decided to share a bottle of beer, she having me pick something out. I opted for one of my last two bottles of Sawyers Triple and, without letting her see me pour it, had her guess what I handed her. She nailed it on the first try. Good girl, my missus!
So how was Sawyers Triple, now going on 20 months old from the time of release? It still has a clear golden color, vibrant carbonation and a short-lived white head that shrivelled down to a thin collar. The nose has fallen off a bit, particularly in the spiciness it possessed in the beginning. There is still the fruity sweetness and dusty yeasty malt notes but the pepper and clove spice notes, as well as the light bubblegum aroma, has diminished.
The taste carries more of a apple fruitiness and bready malt flavor while the spiciness has faded some. Still, an ephemeral peppery bite haunts the finish. The bitterness has softened over time. The alcohol is still present, providing a slight kick and warmth with each swallow. The feel is still where it was at the start, medium-bodied, lively and well-carbonated.
Overall, Sawyer's Triple is still a nice triple and easily drinkable. I'd say it's getting on in beer-years so I plan on drinking my last one fairly soon. If you've got a few stashed away, you might want to break one out and try it again yourself.

I really wanted to like this, it was brewed to raise money for a sick kid, well I'm glad I donated some money to the cause at least.
Pours a crystal clear golden amber, topped with a one finger white head that disappears almost immediately, leaves small bits of lacing.
Soft fruity aroma, toast, some floral and wheat notes.
A bit warming but there isn't much to the flavor - wheat, candy, bubblegum and fruit. Theres no real punch or anything to grab you, pull you in, and let you know you're drinking a tripel.
Next time I'd just mail in a check and skip the beer.

Reviewed from notes.
Enjoyed as a 4oz sample at the Belgian Beer Fest 2004. I've been anticipating this sucker for quite a while, and the fact that this beer is all about charity is a pleasant bonus. Pours a truly radiant yellow gold, crystal clear, with light, lacy white head. Smell is standard. Taste is pleasant, refined, and balanced. Very light for a triple, quite citrus-like, with spicy hints throughout. Try this if you see it!

This triple poured a clear, golden color with white foam that settled. The smell was sweet and malty (Belgian malt) with some fruitiness. The taste was sweet (sugar) and malty (Belgian) and fruity with some floral notes and a moderate amount of hoppiness to balance. The mouthfeel was smooth and warming with medium body and good carbonation. There was a tangy, sweet, malty aftertaste. This was a very nice triple.

Bright-looking orange/gold in color with a tight, long-lasting white head. Aromas are spot-on for the style: spicy, bready, doughy, sugary. Flavor was spicy, sweet, lots of fruits. Finishes with a bready aftertaste. Fairly full-bodied and slick mouthfeel. Very, very drinkable. Huge note of thanks to the entire crew at Stone for creating a special beer for a special person. Very well-done.

Golden-amber body with a slight haze wears almost no head at all which disappoints a bit for a tripel. Honest aroma consisting mostly of gentle yeast notes and mead-like maltiness (honey, flowers, clovers). Moderate spiciness, herbs and mild smokiness. Rather perfumey palate, spicy (rosemary, basil), honey attack and candi sugar dominates a mild alcohol character. Nice soft carbonation, medium bodied. Average tripel.

Pours a yello with a moderate orange tint. No real head but tremendous stream of thin bubbles surging for air.
Aroma is grain, fruit and light strawberry notes and a big hit of yeasty bread. Picked up some Grains of paradise and pale malt in the background.
Flavor is wheat, bread crust, citurs fruit and a fairly strong nose of pale malt.
Mouthfeel is a classic Trippel. Grainy with a modest malt sweetness abd a yeasty and fruity alcoholic finish. Little bit thin and watery IMHO.
Drinkability is very good. Wouldn't say its a complex beer but very enjoyable. Reminds of a Piraat.
(Tim relayed the story behind this beer. Needless to say I was speechless for quite a while and made me appreicate how lucky I am to have 3 very healthy kids. God speed Sawyer, we need all the brewer's apprentices that we can get in heaven.)

22 oz. bomber served chilled in a Duvel tulip. The first beer of the Greer, PintOfAle, AragornUnplugged, and ManekiNeko "Release the Wisdom" beer tasting. This bottle was provided by PintOfAle.
Appearance: Honey colored liquid with little streamers of carbonation. A short lived white head that receded to a ring of bubbles. Wee specks of lacing were left on the glass.
Smell: Bready malt aromas with some subtle fruits and spices. Slightly peachy, peppery, and citrusy coriander.
Taste: Mildly sweet bready malts with light hints of pepper and coriander on the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Light and refreshing in body. Quite spritely.
Drinkability: A decent interpretation of a tripel. Rather easy to drink and enjoy, unlike the reason for this beer's existence. Everyone who's had this: support your local children's hospital.

Served as a sample from the 22 oz. bomber, into a sampler glass. The color was golden, with a nice head retention. The smell was a nice sweetness. The taste was honey sweet, and had a slight alcohol bite. Mouthfeel was nicely carbonated. As for drinkability, a few of these would be nice.
The best beer I wish I never had. A fitting tribute to courage, both in Sawyer Sherwood as well as in all of us, and hopefully tragedies like this will soon cease with the support for ALD prevention that Stone so graciously donated. I thank my good friend WVbeergeek for bringing this bottle to Chiodo's on the day of the Pittsburgh Gathering, and hopefully the next time I have this beer, ALD will be a bad memory.

This bottle was sampled at the BA gathering at Chiodo's this past weekend. Appearance: Strong golden orange ambrosia like nectar packed in my sampling glass with an effervescent white head leaves specks of lacing and the head dwindles fairly quick. Aroma: Rich spicy layers of honey toned malts, makes quite an aromatic impact nice triple brewed out of tragic circumstances. Taste: Once again in the taste the spicy layers compacted with the honey sweetness of this ale is so complex, like riding a wave of rich biscuit sweetness and spicy coriander tones this is quite the American made Belgian style delight. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied applies a syrup like texture upon the palate, excellent. Drinkability: Great beer it were brewed annually it seemed like the right time to pull this beer from the cellar, sharing with fellow beer lovers.

The beer as it vamooses from the 22 ounce bottle pours a resplendent lucid golden-orange with a diminutive bright white head that is creamy in texture, the lace a wispy silk like sheet to obscure the glass. The aroma of over ripe fruit, yeast and a sugar cookie like sweetness pervades this crisp and appetizing nose, start is ambrosial with a personable malt profile, the top is middling in its feel to the palate. Finish has a salubrious acidity and the hops saporous with the aftertaste dry and long lasting, a quite quaffable and thirst quenching beer.

Pours a hazy light brown amber with an ogg-white head. Nice and fruity sweet. But not over the top sweet, more of a mellow sweet. Spices are quite there too. Touch of hop bitter bite at the end aswell. Nice chew of a mouthfeel and the brew goes down easy. Another first class beer from Stone.

Color is a magnificent golden deep yellow, very little head, waffer thin and stark white, a mirco thin ring sticks along the edge and the lace is in fast drippy blots. Aroma is slightly spicy of clove and phenols, clean and soft, yet pleasing pleasant. A soild smelling triple with a good touch of citrus, warmth, and alcohol. Taste has a very clean character with a nice fullness of light dullish citrus, slight lemony notes and melons, refined yeastyness with a very delicate dash of clove. Well rounded and befittingly blends together well too. Feel is properly proportioned with a clean fullness that keeps a general smooth character throughout with just a bit of zip in the carbonation to keep it interesting and is never to over the top, lending a gratifying drinkability.
I won't retrospect to much on the aspect of this beers' namesake, I'll just close by saying that my heartfelt best wishes go out to all those at Stone and all whose lives were touched by young Saywer.

Full bodied with soft carbonation, full and round mouthfeel, alcohol is hardly noticed, a really enjoyable tripple. I would like to thank herbjones for sending me this great brew.

Aquired via trade. As if buying beer wasn't an enjoyable enough experience, doing it for a good cause makes it all the better! This is one of the more enjoyable Tripels I have had to boot. Pours a lightly cloudy and bright yellow-orange/apricot color with a medium thin white head. Thin and quick lacing. Aroma of citrus, banana and hops. Medium-bodied with a nice blend of citrus, pepper, coriander and apricot. The finish has a bit of alcohol kick to it, along with some fruit.

Naming a Stone brew after Sawyer was nice way to honor the courage of the little boy who is no longer with us. Very sad story that definately made me think. Thanks Stone and good luck to the family.
This brew poured a solid dark golden with a white head that fell into a smooth layer across the beer. After about 30 minutes there was no head to speak of and lacing was hard to come by. This bothered me.
The nose was full of light fruits and spicy hops.
The flavor was great and very well balanced. Light fruits dominated the palate. Lots of orange and some banana as well as some spicyness. Pretty hoppy but remarkably drinkable.

I only got to taste a small sample of this one but it was enough to be able to say it's good. It was a light amber color and smelled spicy, fruity, like a tripel does. There was a lot of flavours then when I took a sip, sugar, honey, spices, tiny bit of that banana flavour I sometimes get... it was well-balanced, well-blended I felt. The mouthfeel is on the thin side, which took away from the taste a bit for me because I thought it seemed watery then, but the overall flavours were pretty strong so the thinness didn't hurt too much. Drinkability, 4 because of the big flavours with watery mouthfeel. Almost balances out.
Good beer, and I'm very sorry about why this beer came to be.

Light orange gold color. Small head. Aroma is fruity and spicy (coriander and pepper?) Orange and apricots. Bready. A medium bodied Belgian Style Ale. Not sure if it really a triple but its definitely has pure Belgian roots. Malts are very fruity and spicy. Carbonation is bright and lively. Its hoppy for a Belgian ale, but what else would you expect from Stone? Very nicely balanced. Extremely drinkable. I realize that this was a special brew, but do you think you could make more of this beer? Maybe sort of an annual thing. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. Thanks to jcalabre for this beer.

This is a light peach coloured liquid with a nice white head, that dies all too quickly. The aromas are of belgian candy sugar, yeast, various spices, sweet malts,a nd slight hops. I also detect some honey in the aroma as well. The taste is very well balanced and integrated. I can taste the yeast, candy sugar, slight hops, and sweet malts in good correlation to one another. The mouthfeel is a bit light, but it is also creamy, and pretty dead-on for the style. The drinkability is excellent, but the sweetness and honey-like nuances of this beer, make it a little cloying, so the drinkability has to be knocked a few points. This is not my favorite beer from Stone, nor my favorite triple, but this is another excellentbrew from the brewers at Stone. It's a shame that such a good beer has to come from such horrible circumstances :-(
Cheers to Sawyer and his family....Sincerely from me and my family...

Good review, but you were off on some points.
pure, raw Black Metal
The album isn't reall raw at all to be honest. Just like In the Nightside Eclipse, there's a lot of keybaords used, which gives it a stronger ambiance rather than a rawness.

Wednesday's video of the day involves something that is being called the wedding bouquet pass.
Watch the quarterback for Tumwater High School in the state of Washington.
He is lining up for a two point conversion and instead of throwing a pass, he flings the ball over his head like a bridal bouquet.
His receiver snags it and Tumwater goes on to win.
When asked about the play, the coach said, "If you get it wrong, you're just a dumb coach, which I can take. But if you get it right, it's such a big momentum changer."

For National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, KSFY's cameras were invited in to the core lab at Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls. We honor all of you for all the work that takes place without most of us giving it a second thought.
How many of you have wondered what happens to that urine sample you gave after you set it on the counter? We are going to show you. A lab tech puts it in a bio-hazard bag and places it in the pneumatic machine and in 45 minutes from sample to the lab they'll know what's wrong with you.
All samples that come from patients at the Avera McKennan Hospital come through this tube station in the core lab. All others are delivered here. Once it arrives, your info is put in to their computer system and your electronic medical record.
Dawn Ver Hoeven, a Clinical Lab Scientist (ASCP) and Supervisor of the Core Lab says, "Then they circulate in to the automated core. Which consists of 9 analyzers which do your chemistry. It does cholesterol, lipids, hormone testing and complete blood count (CBC and white count)."
And if anything is flagged in round one, the clinical lab scientists take a smear and examine it under the microscope for abnormalities. It is a constant buzz of activity in here. Although you never see it, your doctor's rely on it.
Dawn Ver Hoeven says, "We are the behind the scenes. We are the ones that tell the doctor the likely diagnosis based on the results we give them. Behind every tube is a patient to us. It's not just a tube, it's a patient. We just aren't the hands on care."
So remember the next time you have to give up some of your fluids for testing... there is a whole other team in white coats working on your behalf for your betterment.
75 medical laboratory technicians and clinical lab scientists make up the core lab.

Paul Ramsay, a board certified hypnotist and member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, will perform in the Robert W. Rhoades Center auditorium at Clarion University-Venango Campus on Friday, October 22, at 7 pm. The event is free and open to the public.
After earning bachelor and master's degrees in education at the University of New Hampshire, Ramsey taught high school English before returning to his alma mater to begin a career in student affairs. Whether in the classroom or on campus, his focus was to create opportunities for people to experience transformational change and gain new personal insights, a focus that led him to the practice of hypnotism.
He now performs across the country at colleges, comedy clubs, campgrounds, and for corporate groups, helping people through hypnosis to maximize their personal success. He has performed in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia.
Ramsay believes that hypnotism is more than a way to entertain people. "I believe that being hypnotized can change your life for the better," he says, "even if you're doing it for the very first time on stage and making people laugh. It's fun, but it's also powerful."

"I personally go for paper cups because plastics and Styrofoam both have material that can leak out into the beverage. And that doesn't sound that good to me," Camire said.

If this is middle age, bring it on.
Naomi Watts, 44, spends the majority of her latest film in a bathing suit or nude. She plays Down Under widow Lil in Adore, adapted from a Doris Lessing novella, The Grandmothers. Lil rediscovers her sexuality with the hunky son of her best friend Roz ( Robin Wright) and vice-versa. If Adore were a raunchy cougar flick it might be called Son Swap, but there is real substance to these empowered characters, says Watts. We spoke to the English-Australian actress by phone from Amagansett, N.Y., where she and partner Liev Schreiber and their two small sons spent much of the summer.
How did you get attached to the script?
My friend Julianne Moore sent it to me. She was originally going to play Roz but then had scheduling conflicts. I hadn't seen much of [director] Anne Fontaine's work, though I did see Coco Before Chanel. I read it off my computer in one sitting and was captivated right away. I thought, 'This is such an original idea.' There are very few tales of women's desire, and this one was peculiar. I went from this place of being quite shocked and almost judgmental to a very quick shift of feeling forgiveness for these women and actually wanting to have them to have this experience.
What attracted you to Lil? Did you feel a kinship with her?
I did. I think Lil was more fragile, more sensitive. In the beginning, she really wrestled with the concept of what she was doing while for Roz it was almost mindless, gung ho, 'I gotta have it' type thing. Then they switch, and I love how Lil became kind of stuck on [the relationship] while Roz remained really pragmatic and almost detached. Lil felt a little more complicated to me and not as strong. Obviously I would never run into this situation in my own life, but at the same time I care for them and empathize with them. You do face that point, thinking, 'What's my focus now? What am I doing? Who am I?' The [affairs] happened to these women for a reason to put that pain or that fear of the unknown off for a little while. That sort of made sense to me.
Were you a bit squeamish about the subject matter?
Sort of. It's that mentality of, 'Since I can't have my best friend, I can have a tiny bit of you'. And I can't have my son, so I'll have his best friend. The enmeshment among all four of them is powerful. It's obviously awkward and very unusual, but it's not incest and there's nothing illegal. They're of age, they're not children.
Let's talk about how good you look in this movie.
I am 100 percent someone who has to work. I don't have one of those blessed bodies like Robin. But I also eat what I want so I have to spend a bit more time on the treadmill or whatever it is I'm doing. I'm not fanatical. I take periods of time when I do it my way. When I'm in preparation for a role such as this, I work extra hard. The director did tell us to look our best. She made no pains about telling me, 'Don't eat that!' when she saw me getting my dessert plate ready [laughs].
You filmed in your native Australia and used your own accent for a change. Was it freeing for you?
Yes, very liberating. It helps with improvising too. You're just out of your head. When you're working with a dialect you tend to go into a rhythm of how the line is meant to be said or how you think it's meant to be said. The sound is playing such an important part. We filmed in Seal Rocks in New South Wales and Sydney. My family came and visited. Being there and having my kids right there with me was really great for me. Australia is very far away from New York and with small children, I don't really go back often.
You have exciting projects coming up.
I've got Diana (hitting U.S. theaters in November). Playing Princess Diana was another controversial role. That was part of the lure: to take on the transformation. And I am excited about doing lighter fare after, you know, The Impossible, like Noah Baumbach's While We Were Young. It's another midlife crisis movie. But that's where I'm at, right?

Adore opens nationwide Friday and in South Florida Sept. 20.

We're talking trash for tonight's Good Question--specifically, the kind you recycle.
Greg in Cape Coral wants to know: "What really happens to what is in my recycling bin once it's hauled away from the curb?" Every week, the average family generates 25 pounds of material that could be recycled. Public awareness and larger containers have made recycling more popular. About 8 in 10 households in Southwest Florida recycle; but few though see where it all ends up.
"This is where it all comes--all the material from Lee County," said lee County Solid Waste Coordinator Emory Smith--showing off the 90,000 square foot facility in the Buckingham community. "We have people coming from all over the world to look at this recycling facility," he explained. He went on to show us the first step in the process begins with the tipping floor. "Yeah he's dumping a load of single stream material," said Smith. Single stream means that you don't sort recyclables. Instead, all of the sorting happens at the facility. He says the single stream "simplified it--it made it easier for the residents."
But there's nothing simple about how the different materials get sorted.
A magnet puts aluminum cans in a different pile than paper and then an optical scanner will show workers anything that doesn't belong in a certain pile.
But the high-tech machinery is also coupled with good old fashioned hard work. Smith says there are two shifts of nearly 50 people are working in the facility in different capacities. Keith Howard, Deputy Director of the Solid Waste Division, even showed us a part of the process that almost no one else has seen.
They're laying down solar panels to help power the plant.
"Anything we can do to off-set some of those costs, whether it's finding value in something that was trashed or by gaining resources from something available to all of us," he said.
Recyclables are compressed, bound and sold to companies around the country.
Officials we spoke with explained the energy saved from recycling one aluminum can will operate a television set for three hours.

text: content Life Extension Magazine November 2010 Mainstream Doctors' Ineptitude Put on Display in the New England Journal of MedicineBy Steven Joyal, MD A study published online in the June 30, 2010 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine1 confirms how little conventional doctors know about prescribing testosterone to aging men. The Life Extension Foundation® long ago recognized that maturing men have a propensity to convert (aromatize) testosterone into estrogen. When you see an overweight man growing breasts, it is not directly because he eats too much. This phenomenon is instead caused by the testosterone he converts to breast-enlarging estrogen.2 When men are prescribed testosterone gels or creams, they sometimes have to take an aromatase-inhibiting drug (like Arimidex®) to prevent their estrogen (measured as estradiol in the blood) from climbing to dangerous levels.3 Optimal estradiol blood levels in men are between 20-30 pg/mL.4 Elderly males can have much higher estradiol levels that place them at substantial risk for developing coronary atherosclerosis and thrombotic stroke.5,6 If elderly men are prescribed large doses of topical testosterone gel or cream, their estradiol blood levels have to be tested and properly controlled. Failure to manage estradiol in men receiving high-dose testosterone gel or cream can result in a catastrophic estrogen surge that increases vascular disease risk and premature death. Enormous Tax Dollars Squandered on Flawed Testosterone Study The federal government provided a financial grant to an armada of doctors to evaluate the effects of high-dose testosterone on men who were so severely debilitated that they struggled to climb more than 10 stairs or walk the equivalent of two city blocks. These men suffered numerous risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and elevated blood lipids that placed them at higher risk for cardiovascular events. Obese men tend to produce loads of estrogen in their abdominal fat—and typically have higher estradiol levels than thinner men. The men with the worst vascular risk factors (such as the highest triglyceride levels) were placed on a dose of topical testosterone that is TWICE the standard starting dose. These debilitated men were given testosterone in a way that is more likely to aromatize through the skin into estrogen. Men with fewer vascular risk factors were given a placebo gel. It should be no surprise to learn that this study was halted prematurely because the debilitated men given the high-dose testosterone (with no aromatase inhibitor) suffered more "atherosclerosis-related events" such as heart attack, stroke, and sudden death.1 The official title of this study is "Adverse Events with Testosterone Administration." A more accurate title may have been: "Elevated Estrogen Leads to Cardiovascular Events in Older Men." To read Life Extension's recent review about the dangers of estrogen imbalance in aging men published in the May 2010 magazine issue, visit: www.lef.org/maleestrogen Life Extension Writes a Letter to These Doctors The day this study was published, Life Extension® wrote the doctors who conducted it asking if there were any data regarding baseline and post-baseline blood estradiol levels. We have waited over eight weeks, and the authors of the New England Journal of Medicine study have not responded to our repeated requests as to whether estradiol levels were ever measured. From what was written in the paper, it does not appear that any attention was paid to the estrogen levels in these debilitated men. The authors wrote in the discussion section of the paper, "Testosterone and associated increases in estradiol may promote inflammation, coagulation, and platelet aggregation."1 Yet these doctors don't appear to have done anything to evaluate estradiol levels in the unfortunate study subjects given double-dose testosterone with no aromatase inhibitor to suppress the expected estrogen surge. This Study Had Numerous Other Flaws Leaving aside the failure to manage estradiol levels in men given high-dose testosterone gel, there were numerous design flaws that call into question any conclusion that can be drawn from this study. As mentioned earlier, the testosterone group at baseline was at greater risk for cardiovascular events as manifested by a greater proportion of men in the testosterone group with dyslipidemia who were undergoing statin and antihypertensive drug treatment. In addition, triglyceride levels (higher) and HDL levels (lower) were trending against the testosterone group. Clearly, the baseline cardiovascular risk for the testosterone group was higher than the placebo group. The authors claim that a sensitivity analysis, as well as controlling for cardiovascular risk factors, did not change the results, but the small sample size and relatively short trial duration serve to magnify, not minimize, differences due to chance. The study was not designed to systematically assess for cardiovascular events, and given the small sample size, lack of consistent pattern of events, diversity of serious events, and small number of serious adverse cardiac events (10 vs. 1) in the two treatment groups before study stoppage in this short-duration trial strongly suggest that the results are due to chance. Another explanation, of course, is that the adverse vascular events were caused by the uncontrolled conversion of the topically-applied testosterone to estradiol in men who were already likely to have dangerously high estradiol blood levels to begin with. Fodder for the Media The published scientific data document low testosterone as being an independent risk factor for heart attack and a host of other age-related ailments. The authors of this study acknowledge the benefits the testosterone group obtained from the drug and openly admitted the limitations of this study in providing guidance about the effects of testosterone on different population groups. The media, however, has a propensity to publicize one negative study while ignoring hundreds of positive ones. We will not be surprised to see this horrifically flawed study used for decades to discredit the safety and efficacy of properly prescribed testosterone cream and aromatase-inhibition therapy. Importance of Blood Testing in Men Supplementing with Testosterone In response to overwhelmingly favorable studies, record numbers of aging men are rubbing testosterone creams or gels on their skin each day to restore this vital hormone to youthful levels. Within 45-60 days of initiating testosterone replacement therapy, the following blood tests should be done to ensure safety and efficacy: PSA (prostate-specific antigen): To rule out prostate cancer Estradiol: To make sure testosterone is not converting to estrogen Free and total testosterone: To make sure enough testosterone is being absorbed CBC/Chemistry panel: To make sure liver enzymes are normal and red blood production has not increased too much These tests can be done at your doctor's office, or you can order them all directly from Life Extension by calling 1-800-208-3444 (24 hours a day). These tests can retail for over $500 at commercial labs, but Life Extension members pay only $125 (Test code LC100001).

What You Need to Know: Flawed Study Fails to Demonstrate Benefits of Testosterone A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) concluded that testosterone therapy increased the risk of cardiovascular events in men over age 65. A close analysis of the study reveals serious flaws that render the authors' conclusions meaningless. For example, the study enrolled individuals who were seriously debilitated and had a high prevalence of chronic disease. The group receiving testosterone had worse cardiovascular disease markers than the placebo group at the study's onset. Further, they received twice the usual starting dosage of topical testosterone. Testosterone converts to estradiol in the body via the aromatase enzyme. Higher estradiol levels increase cardiovascular risk via numerous mechanisms. Obese men more readily convert testosterone to estradiol. When men use testosterone therapy, they often need to also use an aromatase inhibitor to block the conversion of testosterone to estradiol. The NEJM study failed to measure estradiol levels in the study participants before or after testosterone therapy, even though the authors themselves acknowledged that excess estradiol increases the risk of inflammation, coagulation, and platelet aggregation. This study highlights that estradiol levels must be measured and maintained within a healthy range in men undergoing testosterone therapy. This poorly-conducted study may frighten many physicians from prescribing testosterone therapy to patients who could significantly benefit from its multifaceted effects. Summary of 5 Recent Peer-reviewed Studies Noting Adverse Cardiovascular Effects Associated with Elevated Estrogen in Aging Men 1) After adjustment for age, hypertension, diabetes, adiposity, cholesterol, atrial fibrillation, and other characteristics were made in a group of 2,197 men aged 71 to 93 years of age, men with the highest blood levels of estradiol had a 2.2-fold greater risk of stroke, compared with those whose estradiol levels were lower. {Reference: Abbott RD, Launer LJ, Rodriguez BL, et al. Serum estradiol and risk of stroke in elderly men. Neurology. 2007 Feb 20;68(8):563-8.} 2) In a study of 313 men whose average age was 58, carotid artery intima-media thickness was measured at baseline and then three years later. After adjusting for other confounding risk factors, higher levels of estradiol were associated with thickening of the carotid artery wall. Researchers concluded, "Circulating estradiol is a predictor of progression of carotid artery intima-media thickness in middle-aged men." {Reference: Tivesten A, Hulthe J, Wallenfeldt K, Wikstrand J, Ohlsson C, Fagerberg B. Circulating estradiol is an independent predictor of progression of carotid artery intima-media thickness in middle-aged men. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2006 Nov;91(11):4433-7.} 3) In an angiographic trial of coronary atherosclerosis in a group of men with stable coronary artery disease, significant positive correlations between estradiol levels and other known atherosclerotic risk factors was observed. Researchers concluded, "Our results indicate a possible role of estradiol in promoting the development of atherogenic lipid milieu in men with coronary artery disease." {Reference: Wranicz JK, Cygankiewicz I, Rosiak M, Kula P, Kula K, Zareba W. The relationship between sex hormones and lipid profile in men with coronary artery disease. Int J Cardiol. 2005 May 11;101(1):105-10.} 4) In another angiographic trial of coronary atherosclerosis in men aged 40-60 years, compared with healthy age-matched controls, men with coronary atherosclerosis had higher levels of estrone and a low level of testosterone in the presence of a high level of estradiol. Researchers concluded, "Low levels of total testosterone, testosterone/estradiol ratio and free androgen index and higher levels of estrone in men with coronary artery disease appear together with many features of metabolic syndrome and may be involved in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis." {Reference: Dunajska K, Milewicz A, Szymczak J, et al. Evaluation of sex hormone levels and some metabolic factors in men with coronary atherosclerosis. Aging Male. 2004 Sep;7(3):197-204.} 5) In a study of men having suffered an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), a prior heart attack, and patients with normal coronary arteries, the results showed significantly higher levels of estradiol in both groups of heart attack patients compared with those without coronary disease. {Reference: Mohamad MJ, Mohammad MA, Karayyem M, Hairi A, Hader AA. Serum levels of sex hormones in men with acute myocardial infarction. Neuro Endocrinol Lett. 2007 Apr;28(2):182-6.} References 1. Basaria S, Coviello AD, Travison TG, et al.

Westminster's "Best in Show" Pooch Will Chew Scenery in Broadway Debut at Edwin Drood Feb. 13
By Kenneth Jones
The affenpinscher Banana Joe, the "Best in Show" winner of the 2013 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Feb. 12, will make a cameo appearance in the Feb. 13 evening performance of Broadway's The Mystery of Edwin Drood, filling in for Macaco, the Yorkie/Maltese mix that usually appears in the musical.
A grand-style Act Two entrance by actress Stephanie J. Block (who plays Edwin Drood) includes a pooch in hand. Macaco will play the Wednesday matinee and return Thursday.
Banana Joe's handler Ernesto Lara and co-owner and breeder Mieke Cooijmans, along with the Roundabout Theatre Company's cast of The Mystery of Edwin Drood, the musical comedy murder mystery, will take post-show photos with the canine star (while Macaco gets quietly drunk at the Paramount Hotel bar, perhaps).
Studio 54 is at 254 W. 54th Street. For more information about the Roundabout production, visit RoundaboutTheatreCompany.org.

A word from Phillips Seafood
Classic Casual Dining: Phillips new Baltimore location, is an exciting and easy blend of vintage and modern, with a nod to the longstanding tradition of Phillips restaurants. Phillips at the Power Plant sits directly on the water, just a few steps away from the old Light Street Pavilion location, in the iconic renovated Power Plant industrial building. The innovative redesign of the interior by Carl Myers and Marcie DeLaRosa shows off gleaming, rich woods and jewel toned stained glass fixtures, distressed finishes and antiqued mirrors juxtaposed with a modern, open kitchen.Continued

- Save your moneyWjbrowneDined on 8/28/2014My wife and I recently dined at Phillps in the Inner Harbor. This was our first visit to the new location. I a nutshell, the restaurant serves overpriced medicore food. The entree prices range from 25/50 dollars. Overall just not the experience we were looking for.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/27/2014Food was good, portions too small, service almost too fast like we were being pushed out. Amazing cocktailSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely experienceVinnieDined on 8/25/2014We reserved at Phillips to be sure to have some famed local seafood and it lived up to expectations. Had the Premier and Classic Seafood Combo Platters - excellent! If you get the Premier, might want to stay away from appetizers as it's a lot of food. Every bite delicious: scallops, shrimp, salmon, crab cake, mini lobster tail. Crab cakes a must in Maryland! Overall, terrific meal, very friendly and attentive server. We enjoyed ourselves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very bad serviceMax1126Dined on 8/22/2014Our server was terrible. I don't recommend this place unless you want to be treated like you are not welcome.
- Men's Restroom was a Total DisasterJimmyDined on 8/20/2014The food and dining area was first rate. However, I have never seen a restroom in such bad condition. I understand it must be customers that produced it but it appeared to me that it was left in that condition for a long period of time. The smell was overwhelming! Trash containers were overflowing! The floor was wet with urine around urinals. It was hard to believe such a nice restrurant would have a restroom maintained in that condition.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what I was use to...Nick9802Dined on 8/16/2014I haven't been to Phillip's in a few years and was really excited to take my girlfriend who doesn't live in MD there for their famous seafood buffet. Much to my dismay I get there and find out they no longer have the buffet. I was skeptical on the new menu but I took the risk and we stayed. It was the worst meal I've had all year. She had the crab legs which arrived cold and I had the ribeye and crab cake. While the crab cake was pretty good the steak and potatoes were the absolute worst and it took over 45 mins to get our food. I have to give it to the waiter because he really tried to make up for the fact that we were having a horrible experience. Will not be returning... EverSpecial Features:
- Amazing Food!Foodie420Dined on 8/15/2014The food was simply delicious! Well worth every penny! There was 4 of us in our party and no one was unhappy with any of the choices, including the desserts! WOWSpecial Features:
- Just okOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014For the money spent at Phillips I didn't think the food was worth it. We sat directly outside the kitchen, worst seat in the house. My daughter ordered a steak and it took about 10 mins after our food came out to get a steak knife to cut it. Service was okay, server seemed to have too many table and we never got bread which seemed to be standard at every tableSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No more buffet!pmrthirdVIPDined on 8/5/2014I honestly have not been to Phillips in a long time when I use to enjoy their seafood buffet. I thought I would try for lunch and surprised to learn that they haven't had the buffet since 2011. Well, prices seemed fairly high especially for lunch. My colleague and I both ordered the fish tacos and they were fantastic! They were very flavorful and cook to perfection. Yum! Oh well, no more seafood buffet; the place looks a lot more classier.Special Features:
- Great Maryland Crab Cakes!RoseVIPDined on 8/5/2014we really enjoyed all the Maryland crab dishes we order. Our server was a very sweet young lady, but she was not on her A game. I think she gave each of us about 4 glasses of ice tea. She continued to bring us glasses of ice tea when everyone's glasses were already full. She should have taken notice what her customers were consuming vs. just bring more and more items. Also we ordered a dozen of oysters and we requested 4 of each type, since you were serving 3 types during lunch. However our server order 9 of one type and 3 of another type. Who does that? In addition to getting the oyster order incorrectly, she almost took the oyster platter away when we still have 6 oysters left on the platter. Food is good, but serve not good!Special Features:
- Baltimore ClassicEvilroyVIPDined on 8/4/2014I've been to other Phillips locations and this time I dined at the Inner Harbor restaurant for a late lunch on the patio. I had the local classics: crab claw cocktail, crab soup, crab cakes and rockfish. Everything was tasty, but I thought the claws in the cocktail were a little small for the price. Despite that complaint, I'm literally sitting in the BWI Phillips as I write this, just having finished some more crab soup and cakes :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummo crab cakes!ErinCDined on 8/1/2014Phillips is a must when dining the inner harbor! Great appetizers and dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Daniel and Jason where awesome!!!!!EdwardsDined on 7/30/2014My brother and i dined here and the food was great good selection our waiter Daniel offered all of the specials and his favorite dishes as well we had a really great time i think that he went above and beyond to wait on us and it was greatly noted!! We ending up having a small issue with my family and friends card I am a VIP and have been for many years but for some reason there was some type of glitch but the Manager Jason took care of it expediously and made us aware of what happened and assured that he would get it taken care of and he did his attitude was the best i see why he is in management!!! My Brother signed up for the friends and family and Jason sent email to have the team follow up with him what great customer service!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- You get what you pay for!!! 👍AimeendrewDined on 7/25/2014Service was excellent- they were busy, but the seating was well spaced between parties, so still had a private feel. Staff was excellent and knowledgable- answered any and all questions. Food was fantastic- we spent $130 on two dinners, 2 drinks, one alcoholic beverage, soup and dessert. Well worth the money. And as a side note, I am not a drinker by any means- but I would highly recommend the white mango sangria to anyone!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwfulOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/23/2014I never write reviews because I feel people will make their own choices. My advice is stay away. If you want to experience Baltimore seafood, go to the oyster house. If you want validation, go to trip advisor and read the reviews for both restaurants. The numbers (comments) don't lie.Special Features:
- Becoming a house-hold name!acolli99Dined on 7/21/2014My sister was proposed to at Phillips seafood 3 years ago when it was still in the mall setting. Ever since, it has been a special place and now I deem it a place for special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great TimeVinceDined on 7/13/2014This was the second time that my wife and I ate at Phillip's...great atmosphere, awesome food and good service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad Meal at Baltimore Inner HarborBruJuDined on 7/11/2014Service slow meal was blah and all around below average meal. Maybe because the Yankees in town bringing many fans with them because next night meal at M & S was worse
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/10/2014My family and I visted Phillips while in Baltimore and thought it would have great seafood. I ordered the twin lobster tails and they were a bit tough. I had also ordered an appetizer with the meal that was never brought out. When I mentioned it to the waiter he stated that it might have been a "good mistake" on his part since most people order too much and can't finish there meal. My daughter had also ordered a fruit cup with her kids meal and that was never brought out either. Eventually, he did take her meal off the bill, but we could have done without his comments. Plus, everything we ordered was covered in cracked pepper, from my lobster, my sons roasted potatoes and my husbands salmon. It was not worth the high priced bill in the end.Special Features:
- Very Hectic but Exceptional ServiceDisappointedVIPDined on 7/10/2014The restaurant during our meal was extremely hectic and the loud. However our server, Ulan (sp?) was exceptional and did all he could to keep this a special occasion for our two nieces' birthday dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LadyDined on 7/8/2014excellent seafood and excellent serviceI was on vacation with my family and that included at 2 & a half year old child and the service was very nice for her as well they had food choices them in her needsthe checking in process could be better and the staff at the door could be a little bit more friendly and inviting the lack of interest was overwritten however by the service we received from our waitressSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A MustBlockDined on 7/7/2014We were trying to find a nice and quiet place to eat and we are glad we found this place. Very relaxing and you could actually have a conversation without having to yell, which is hard to find these days. Took the kids and they loved it also. Service was great and dessert was two thumbs up. Would definitely recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/5/2014Been there many times (old & new locatio). This was the best experience yet. Food and service was excellent. Almost outstanding.Special Features:
- Good tourist spotKatrinaLynn1211Dined on 7/4/2014We were in Baltimore for the holiday weekend and decided to stop into well-known Phillips for steamed crabs. The crabs were great (but small due to overharvesting...). The service could have been better, but overall a good experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/28/2014Gret food. Nice to be able to lunch outdorrs on a perfect summer day.Special Features:
- foodieVIPDined on 6/27/2014The food was a disappointment. Their crab dip was a mousse presented as a dip. There were no pieces let alone chunks of crab. If you don't want chunks, this is for you. I ordered crab saute. That's what I got, but it didn't taste fresh. It also had a piece of hair in it. Their crab cake was good, but one out of three items isn't right. Their Sangria was the weakest either of us have ever tasted. If you want a weak Sangria this is for you. The meal cost us $100 but should have cost $50. We only had 3 nights in Baltimore Harbor and wasted it this evening.
- travelingmanDined on 6/27/2014Food and service was good but the portions were somewhat small.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what I expectedHungryman13Dined on 6/25/2014The food and service were OK but just not what I had expected. I had always thought of Phillips as a very high end Seafood restaurant. I wasn't really impressed.
- Major DisappointmentOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 6/24/2014I had not been here in several years and wanted to try it while back in town .... major disappointment. The appetizer and ambiance were wonderful, but the kitchen was not having a good shift (or they saw me coming through the door with a bulls-eye). Either way, the oven cooked fish bled when cut open, the crab cake was hot on bottom though cold throughout, the grilled shrimp did not even get seasoned with salt or pepper and the rice was half cook (crunch crunch). Major FAIL. I will say the the wait staff and management were extremely apologetic, but my appetite was gone. On a positive note, their house made sangria's are wonderful.Special Features:
- Pretty good but…..SFGuyDined on 6/18/2014Went there 2 nights in a row when staying in Baltimore's Inner Harbor area, largely because the Yelp reviews were slightly better than other Inner Harbor places. The steamed mussels were quite good, but the broth could have been more flavorful. Two broiled lobster tails were good, but had some garnish on them that detracted from the flavor rather than added. The drawn butter was not plentiful. The accompanying vegetables--green beans, 3 pieces of squash, and a few tired red onions--were largely tasteless and underdone. Chocolate cheesecake was good. Night two: clam chowder--very good flavor, but served tepid. Ultimate crab cake--a generous serving of loose crab in a small skillet, not a crab cake at all, that was again good not greatSpecial Features:
- Taste like fresh frozenGooseDined on 6/9/2014First time customer, very disappointed, my wife and I each had the fish plate at $38.00 a plate. Not exactly cheap! Took a long time to come out and the food was not hot, warm at best. Tasted like a typical franchise, frozen with not much taste at all. We may be spoiled, we live along the north east coast with some great seafood take out. This was not even close. We are honestly not picky but this was pretty blah, scallops, shrimp, fish and even the asparagus all tasted the same. Really don't how they got famous, must of been a bad night!
- Great Food!travel4foodDined on 6/9/2014The crab cakes were delicious and were served with sweet potato puffs. The fried shrimp and fries were cooked just right and the portions were great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome ServiceDefagainDined on 5/29/2014This was my first time and will definitely not be my last. Aside from great food the service was impeccable!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- seafood loverseafoodloverDined on 5/22/2014Don't waste your time or money. This place is just an overpriced TGIFridays. Way to expensive for a crab cake that is no better than one from McDonalds (when they had them). So, save your money and go to Jimmy's in Dundalk. Phillips is only getting by because of the say it used to be 20 years ago. It's a shame visitors think the crab dishes served here are what Maryland is famous for.
- All good except fish & chipsRouxbidooVIPDined on 5/22/2014From sampling dishes at our table: calamari, soups & crabcakes were excellent. Best calamari I've ever had. I love sashimi but the fish in the fish&chips was not fresh (very fishy smelling) and inappropriately undercooked which made it worse. I couldn't finish it. This was my first time here but based on the restaurant's reputation, I suspect it was just an unusual slip in quality that day. Everything else was great including service & the view.Special Features:
- Decent food and great serviceTrysomethinnew22Dined on 5/16/2014Food wasn't anything to write home about, standard seafood fair, cooked well. I wasn't sold on my scallops dish but my boyfriend loved his crab cakes, so it all balanced out. The waiter was fantastic, friendly, and even gave us some tips on hanging out in the area. We also requested a booth which they accommodated no problem. It helps that the place is huge! Overall well done!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unhappy!not2happyDined on 5/13/2014I was not happy with the fried seafood platter. The food appeared to be fried in dirty oil as it was very dark and salty. I came all the way from Connecticut to try this restaurant and was very disappointed.
- disappointingboysDined on 5/9/2014Friday night...hardly anyone there even though open table said they were booked. Food was okay but the atmosphere was more like a cracker barrel. Service was not good, food was served unappealing looking, sloppily plated, soup spilled all over the dish. We had to ask for bread. Place was not clean and there was NO attention to detail. For a meal that cost the two of us $150 for 2 cocktails, fish dinners, and a shared dessert...very disappointing. We will not go back.

A trip to the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium is a lot like putting on scuba masks and fins, then diving into the ocean -- except you never get wet or cold.
Situated in Monterey's Cannery Row, the world-acclaimed aquarium is a window on 300,000 marine critters representing nearly 600 species. There are even rarities, such as Pacific hagfish, eelpouts, and squat lobsters, that only deep-sea divers have witnessed until now.
