Welcome back to The DC Beer Show! Today, our hosts dive into the vibrant Hagerstown beer scene with special insights from Derek Siewert and Jake Beamer of Thick-N-Thin Brewing.

The episode kicks off with our hosts sharing their current beer choices—Jordan Harvey is savoring the hop-loaded "Homecoming Volume 2" from Harvey Wilder and Third Hill, Brandy Holder is enjoying a robust porter from Dynasty, and Jacob Berg has just picked up a crisp Lakeview Lager from Hamburg Brewing Company in New York.

We then express our deep gratitude for Veterans Day, acknowledging the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women.

Amidst shout-outs to new Patreon members Fabio Garcia, Michael O’Connor, and Jeff, the hosts announce exciting events: a beer share at Atlas Brew Works on November 17 and a tantalizing German gravity keg event at Shelter at the Roost on November 16. The Beery Godmother returns to DC on November 24 with a special beer release at Right Proper Brewing Company!

As the conversation turns to beers, Derek proudly introduces us to Thick-N-Thin's latest concoctions. Get ready to hear about "Glamp Site" and "Halfling Beer." Derek also teases a luscious imperial stout on Nitro, perfect for the colder weather.

The brewery’s experiential approach shines through with unique events and quirky brews like the bourbon barrel-aged "Quest Master," "F-Bomb" fruited sours, and the whimsically named "Blue Sharknado." Beer enthusiasts are encouraged to explore these limited releases at the taproom in Hagerstown. Derek shares Thick-N-Thin's collaboration within the Frederick and Hagerstown brewing community and their new food truck Blue Boar Kitchen.

Excitement builds around upcoming beer education events, including an off-flavor class at Churchkey.

Our hosts wrap up with personal plans for Thanksgiving beer pairings—Jordan looks forward to lagers by the fire pit, while Jacob suggests pairing Saison DuPont with the feast and using an imperial stout for dessert.

So grab your favorite brew, settle in, and join us for another insightful and entertaining episode of The DC Beer Show!
