Again. Thank baby Jesus.
That peanut butter atrocity should've died as soon as it was thunked up in Baltimore.
Dunno about fruity for a peanut butter beer - it's basically Reese's in beer form
I was more talking about naming a beer “Sweet Baby Jesus”. Unless that was the name of a beer. I’m allergic to PB so I tend to ignore them.
Oh - yeah, it's a beer from DuClaw: https://duclaw.com/beers/sweet-baby-jesus-2/
Sorry I'm taking this way off-topic, not sure I've seen a beer/alcohol specific thread anytime recently.
So to ask a more on-topic question: for pricing, what is the best place through the summer season to get an alcoholic beverage/what is it/where do you get it/how much does it go for before any applicable discounts?
It looks like a completely land locked lake within the confines of the park. I always wonder the history though... It looks like it may have been connected to James River in the past, or maybe it was just a ravine they dammed up. Also might be a creek there too
I think I've heard others here mentioning the dam near the golf course that was placed during the original park construction although I'm unsure if it has been replaced (would assume so).
Technically the Rhine is called Brewery Road Lake (at least on Google Maps), and feeds into Grove Creek that flows into the James.
The lake was built by the park. if you look at the 40th anniversary signs (somewhere on here) you can see it being dug out.
Would that be because they dammed up a creek, where water still flows into it at times but the dam created the lake? Also, it's not really a river either..
The park refers to it as a river because that's how they want people to think of it. From my understanding it was dug out and filled with water and and then fish to make it seem more natural. Rhine is actually some pretty good fishing. They often let employees fish it if you know who to talk to.
I don't believe the dam was built to stop the flow of the creek and therefore create the lake. I believe it was built to prevent the creek from getting too much water. As far as I understand it there is no water that is let out, just what eventually leaks out through the ground and filters to the creek.

If only there was a huge set of documentaries we could watch/read to nerd out over about this kind of thing - how parks are made including alterations to their environments.
By your command.

On the topic of the Rhine: the super shallow part right near Nessie’s final drop, near the staircase back up to Heatherdowns, looks like it has a concrete bottom. Anyone know what the purpose of that is and how far the concrete extends?
