Wing Vendors

Craft Beers

Flying Dog station

1) Snake Dog IPA
– One of the forefathers of Flying Dog, reformatted to a modernized hop approach.  A classic local IPA.

2) The Truth Imperial IPA
– At 8.7% and backed by a triumphant 120 IBU, this beer gets the point across loud and clear. It’s the Truth.

3) Tropical Bitch Belgian IPA
– The almighty Raging Bitch takes a tropical getaway. Pineapple and orange are infused in this Belgian IPA.

Heavy Seas station

1) Loose Cannon IPA
– The iconic local favorite, and arguably the beer that started the local craft beer movement. Hopped three ways, this IPA is suitable for any occasion.

2) AmeriCannon Double Dry-Hopped Pale Ale
– The latest addition to the lineup, this double dry-hopped pale ale is zesty, yet approachable.

3) Siren Noire
– A robust, Imperial Chocolate Stout Aged in used bourbon barrels. With all this fried chicken, a little decadence is a welcomed sight.

Jailbreak station

1) Poor Righteous IPA
– An East Coast representation of the IPA. Perfectly balanced between hop and malt.

2) Feed the Monkey Hefeweizen
– Old school German heritage takes a different approach in this tweaked wheat beer. Mandarin oranges are added, eliminating the necessity of the fruit garnish.

3) Masque of Anarchy
– London is calling. It’s hard to find a brown ale these days, at least a new one. Toffee and subtle chocolate are backed by a nutty finish.

Bells station

1) Two Hearted
– This brew got quite the accolade last year. #1 beer in America according to the Brewer’s Association. This is literally the best IPA.

2) Oberon
– This beer signifies that warm weather is here. This isn’t your stereotypical summer fruit beer, this beer has bite and a sessionability that makes it stand out nation-wide.

3) Larry’s Latest Sour
– A dry-hopped kettle soured wheat beer. Tangy acidic flavors are sliced with a firm hop profile.

Terrapin station

1) Hi-5
– A California-style IPA, meaning high in hops, low in malt backbone. An approachable 5.9% ABV makes this one an easy choice for having another, and another…

2) Beyond the Galaxy IPA
– A Galaxy dry-hopped IPA. Lush in zesty, grapefruit and pine flavor, backed by a subtle tropical, pineapple finish.

3) Good to Gose
– Terrapin’s latest year round beer. Grapefruit goes toe to toe with this naturally acidic, salt based wheat beer.

Atlas Brew Works station

1) Naptown Lager
– What’s this? A beer for Annapolis? Yes indeed! Light, crisp, refreshing, all things suitable for a nice day in Naptown.

2) Dance of Days
– A Citra and Mosaic hopped pale wheat ale. Firm citrus flavors are matched with a pleasant, wheat finish.

3) Ponzi IPA
– A West Coast-style IPA brewed by your friends in DC. Tropical citrus-like hop characteristics flow throughout each sip.
