beers of the east coast

On my recent vacation to the DC area I tried as many different east coast beers as I could find. I generally went for pale-ales -> some were hoppy (smuttynose), some weren't (fire rock), all were good. My favorite was probably the Starr Hill Amber Ale, which was quite refreshing on a hot day at Monticello.

Amber Ale - Starr Hill , Charlottesville VA

Rugged Trail Ale - Troegs, Harrisburg PA

Black&Tan - Yuengling, Pottsville PA
Shoals Pale Ale - Smuttynose, Portsmouth NH
Chesapeake Pale Ale - Alewerks, Williamsburg VA
Fire Rock Pale Ale - Kona, Hawaii by way of Portsmouth NH

Pale Ale - Chownings Tavern, Willamsburg VA

Pale Ale - O'Connells Pub, Alexandria VA

Other beer tried but not pictured

Dominion Pale Ale - Old Dominion, Ashburn VA
Raison D'Etre - Dogfish Head, Milton DE
Lucky Kat - Magic Hat, Burlington VT
Pale Ale - American Cafe, Alexandria VA

I cannot say I have had many of those, except for the Yuengling, and Smuttynose. Although I enjoyed Old Dominion beer when I lived in that area.
