DanielK Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 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! Lunch xcanuck +1.5 DanielK +1 TheMatt plunk +1 Tweaked squidsdc +1 jpw Tour xcanuck DanielK plunk +1 Tweaked squidsdc +1 pjnewman +1 jpw
TheMatt Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 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...
plunk Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Sounds great! Thank you both for organizing. My wife and I would love to attend both lunch and the tour. Looking forward to it.
Tweaked Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Please put me down for the lunch and tour. thanks!
squidsdc Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 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!
pjnewman Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Thanks for arranging this. My wife and I would be interested in the tour but won't be able to make lunch.
DanielK Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 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.

ema Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I would like to go to Sichuan Pavilion and if someone misses the tour, then I would like to go to that too. Thanks
squidsdc Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Sichuan Pavilion thread for reference. Any newbies or others, feel free to join us for lunch!
sweth Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 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.
eroica38 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Please put me down for The Sichuan Pavilion lunch and the waitlist me for the tour. I quess I should check this list more often ....
BayingHoundAleworks Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 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.
DanielK Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 Well, we have 3 on the waiting list now, so if you can handle 13 (14 including yourself), we're in business...
goodeats Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 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?
BayingHoundAleworks Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I can handle 13 and yes you can bring the wee one. Just no filling the bottle with beer
Tweaked Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Paul, can we buy beer from you at the brewery during the tour? Or is that against the rules
BayingHoundAleworks Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 You can buy beer. According to Maryland law I am allowed to sell a limited amount of beer to visitors. Now here's where the law starts looking a little silly, each visitor is limited to 144 oz per person per year.
DanielK Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 So, 2 sixes per person. Just for the record, my name Jose Jimenez. Or Inigo Montoya.
BayingHoundAleworks Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 So, 2 sixes per person. Just for the record, my name Jose Jimenez. Or Inigo Montoya. I think I will have to invest in those glasses with the big nose and mustache Perhaps get custom ones done
BayingHoundAleworks Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 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
Tweaked Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 If for some reason one needed to Metro to Sichuan Pavilion, it's basically near the Rockville Metro station...yes?
xcanuck Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 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? I am NOT bringing anyone with me to the brewery. The +1.5 is for lunch only.
DanielK Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 OK, here's the final list. 19 for lunch, and 14 for the tour. See everyone tomorrow! BRING CASH!

SeanMike Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 BRING CASH! I just assume this will get deleted, but is there room for a "Your mom" joke here?
DanielK Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 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.
sweth Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 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...
BayingHoundAleworks Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Thanks for coming out today! I'll let you know when some of the other experimental beers are ready.
noahcofc Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 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.

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!
xcanuck Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 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?
BayingHoundAleworks Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 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.

BayingHoundAleworks Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I may even have a prototype IPA by the end of next week.
