I am preparing an article for PropTalk about nano and microbreweries you can reach by boat. The best way to fully execute the research is to get on the boat and go? And so my co-author and another friend, the "usual suspects" set out for Chesapeake City on May 9th. We arrived at the Chesapeake Inn and Marina around 5:00 and proceeded to the Bayheads Brewery. Bayheads is a nano brewery with a good beer selection and an interesting history dating to 2016.

On May 10th we dawdled in town because our next stop was only 20 miles away, Havre de Grace. We arrived around 1:00 in rain and wind and cold. For May this was not unexpected but the overnight temps did get into the 40s. Thank goodness for heat on the boat!

We went directly to Market Street Brewing and sampled their offerings. They are also a nano brewery with a nice selection and a very roomy and open tap room. Lunch followed at Abbey's burgers.

There is another small brewery, Battery Island, in town we moved to check out at 6:00. It was smaller but very friendly. Dinner followed at the Italian place in town. Ice cream followed that, of course.

Home early Saturday back to Annapolis with a pumpout and fuel fill before arriving at the boat dock.
