Tucked away behind the Dorsey Search Village Center of  Ellicott City, MD is Allview Liquors. Allview shares a parking lot with Labcorp and their companion restaurant, Leelynn’s. For a small store, the craft beer selection is amazing, with stacks of beers everywhere. Plus, they are open until 2:00 AM on Friday and Saturday.

A friend and I dropped by for the Jailbreak tasting. We enjoyed sampling some of

Jailbreak’s beers from their sales representative, Jennifer Sullivan. We had a fun time listening to her describe and share 4 beers. They were:

• The Infinite –  A session amber with some sweet caramel taste and mild hop finish.
• Feed the Monkey – a German-style hefeweizen with traditional clove and banana taste. Jailbreak has added real orange to the flavor.
• White Russian – this one surprised me with its subtle coffee flavor and creamy taste. Jennifer mentioned it contains real cream.
• Poor Righteous – Their west coast IPA. The juicy grapefruit nose is enticing and the crisp hop finish is just about right.

High energy Jennifer is a perfect fit for the Laurel-based brewery. Her enthusiasm of Jailbreak’s beers is infectious. It was a real treat to watch this cicerone (certified beer server) share her knowledge of beer and the beer industry to novice and old-hand alike.

Cheers!
