Right @ about 2pm when they opened on Friday I headed over to the IntraCoastal Brewing Company’s tasting room and had a complete flight of their beers. I had only thought about getting 6 but then the dude behind the bar talked me into the full flight.

The place was rather crowded, and I didn’t ask for a tour although the area up front that looked like the brewing area seemed only marginally bigger than a home-brew environment. I didn’t head into the back where the restrooms were and I could see some kegs back there as well.

I then went over to the beach for a stroll before heading over to the Mansion for the release of Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout. Had an order of BBQ shrimp with a fried cheese grit cake.
