I needed to go to Bass Pro Shops for some recreational crabbing equipment, so we decided to spend a weekend afternoon (June 13) at Arundel Mills.  First stop, Bass Pro Shops, followed by lunch at DuClaw, then to the movie theater for Up in 3D.

I always look for the DuClaw beer truck at local beer festivals, and the beer at this outlet mall-based brew pub did not disappoint, despite its location.

Beth and I shared a sampler tray, which came with ten beers in 4oz tasting glasses and cost $10. 

Here’s what we tried:

• Kangaroo Love (light lager)
• Bare Ass Blonde Ale
• Misfit Red
• Hellrazor (pale ale)
• Alchemy (oatmeal stout)
• 13 Degrees (hefeweizen)
• Venom (pale ale)
• El Guapo (helles lager)
• Naked Fish (chocolate raspberry stout)
• Mayhem (weizenbock)

We both really enjoyed Naked Fish.  The two pale ales were nice and hoppy.  I settled on a pint of Venom and Beth got 13 degrees.  Gotta love the creative names for the beers.

Up in 3D was a lot of fun – I love all of the Pixar films.  But there are some downsides to drinking a lot of beer before going into a movie theater!
