Tour and Tasting at Baying Hound Aleworks and Lunch at Sichuan Pavilion


Recommended Posts

Posted

New member BayingHoundAleworks (Paul) has graciously agreed to give us a private tour and tasting at Baying Hound, the new nano-brewery that he runs in Rockville.

Simultaneously, xcanuck and I were trying to figure out a date to get a group to Sichuan Pavilion for a spicy feast.

So, we figured, why not combine the events! We'll do the lunch at 12:30, searing our palates on Sichuan goodies, and then make the 2 minute drive over to Baying Hound to cool them off.

You can RSVP for either or both (post here or send me a PM), but I will have to cut off the tour/tasting at 10 people (it's a really small brewery). No limit on the headcount for lunch.

OK, fire away!

My 1/29 is pretty free right now, so mark me as one for lunch at Sichuan Pavilion. And, while I'd be interested in the technical and chemistry bits of the tour, it's probably better for someone who drinks beer to go on that.

Already hungry...

Don't forget me! We were channeling the same thoughts, remember? Guess not so much anymore :) Anyway, put me down for the tour, +1 at the moment. I'll recheck the +1 and let you know for certain. Don't think we'll be able to do Sichuan Pavilion, though.

ETA +1 says yes...so I guess we will be able to do Sichuan Pavilion!

OK, that makes us full for the tour, but anyone who still wants to join us for lunch is welcome. And I'll keep a waiting list for the tour, for the inevitable drops.

Can you put me on the list for lunch and waitlist for the tour? I met Paul last week and was the one who suggested he post something here inviting people to tour his "nanobrewery"; I was actually going to post something myself but have been out of town and just got back today.

Two tours possible?

I could do another tour no problem. Sometimes they overlap anyway. I don't have seating for everyone that's why I originally said 10. I don't actually have an occupancy limit on my occupancy permit. I can have more people but just a heads up, most people will be standing.

Hm, just noticed xcanuck is bringing littlecanuck -- are um, toddlers welcome? Perhaps littleman and I can join for lunch, if the tour is not feasible for a 4yo?

Just a heads up, the brewery is not heated. If you get cold easily, bring a coat.

I would encourage you to bring exact change, though I can take credit cards. It goes through a payment gateway online so it isn't like swiping a card. Here is some pricing:

Pint Glasses $6.00

Bombers (22 oz bottles) $6.00

6 pack of Pale Ale (6 12 oz bottles) $10.00

I am NOT bringing anyone with me to the brewery. The +1.5 is for lunch only.

OK, here's the final list. 19 for lunch, and 14 for the tour. See everyone tomorrow!

BRING CASH!

I just assume this will get deleted, but is there room for a "Your mom" joke here?

Laugh it up, but I have been to more than one DR.com low-dollar function where 10 people tried to throw a credit card on the table to pay their share.

OK, here's the final list. 21 for lunch, and 14.5 for the tour. See everyone tomorrow!

Or, sadly, 20 for lunch and 13.5 for the tour; I'm going to have to bail because of work.

I might have to make an emergency lunch trip to HKP, and then a trip up to Baying Hound once Paul's India Brown is ready...

Didn't make it to the Tasting/Tour but I want to say thanks for setting up the lunch. It was delicious! I will definitely enjoy the leftovers. Its great to meet people who are passionate and know about good food! I will check back to see if there is something like this again.

We were wondering whether you had to split, or whether you'd gotten lost on the way to BH from the restaurant!

Paul, thanks again for the tour and tasting. Really enjoyed the beers, and like what you're doing. Here's hoping you get more traction with local restaurants and liquor stores!

Paul - how does one go about "dropping by" and picking up a six pack or two? Are there specific hours when you are sure to be open? Or is it best something arranged ahead of time?

Depends on if you want the tour and tasting. I am open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays. Saturdays it has to be after 2:00. This Saturday is kind of shot, I'm doing a tasting at Roots Market in Olney. Fridays, I am around 8:30-5PM with the exception of 20 minutes on Friday when I go and drop off beer at the DLC.

If you wait a week, I should have another experimental beer ready to drink. I just bottled the Brunch Stout.

That Brunch Stout sounded quite tasty...!
