Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Got a case of Bells Two Hearted last night. One of my favorite IPA's hands dowm. Bells Two Hearted is one of my all time fav's. Enjoy! I can't seem to find it much here in VT, but there are quite a few suitable replacements.

A friend of mine makes VT beer runs from time to time & comes back with a trunk full of Alchemist, Hill Farmstead, and others to share. But I think my favorite IPA may be Jai Alai by Cigar City in Tampa.

But I think my favorite IPA may be Jai Alai by Cigar City in Tampa. Alchemist is good but overrated, IMO. I have yet to try Hill Farmstead, but have heard good things. Those guys were too cool to attend the Stowe brew fest last summer. My favorite IPA is a local one called Fiddlehead.
The Poojer Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 between fiddlehead, sip of sunshine, bissel brothers, trillium and tree house, alchemist and hill farmstead are being pushed aside by much better offerings. And if you ever get a chance to get your hands on veil out of richmond, do it. tired hands out of my area(philly area) is also a great catch, but like hill farmstead, they are way too cool for you and i(but damn they make some fine beer) Alchemist is good but overrated, IMO.

Everything was good, but I don't recall any of them standing out from the rest. Hill Farmstead has been making a strong push in NYC over the past year or so.
The Poojer Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 if you are in NYC, I assume you have done Other Half & Singlecut, they are making some excellent beers. Going up there for a Yankee Game in a couple weeks and trying to pick 2 must visit breweries in the boroughs. Other Half is probably on that list Fiddlehead & Sip of Sunshine were also part of the last batch my buddy brought home from VT.

I'm going to go check this afternoon. It is the weekend, and I can have 2 beers (or drinks) per night!! Woohoo!! Rock Art, Foley Brothers, 14th Star, and Otter Creek Brewery are also putting out some really good beers in Vermont. Otter Creek has a new session IPA (the name escapes me now) that I actually like better than Founders.

Going up there for a Yankee Game in a couple weeks and trying to pick 2 must visit breweries in the boroughs. Other Half is probably on that list I've had beers by both, but have yet to visit either tasting room. Other Half is walking distance from my place, so I should be ashamed of myself for not having stopped in yet. I've heard nothing but good things about it. Singlecut is also on my list of places to visit soon. Transmitter in Long Island City is another one that's probably worth checking out.
RaoulDuke79 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Posted April 15, 2017 I'm one eyeing it right now to read the on demand options on tv....perperuals and Bells and a Budweiser to settle things down.
The Poojer Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Got me a big bottle of KBS today . I'm a happy boy
plenzmd1 Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 was so happy today to see the SeaQuench from Dogfish sold in a 6 pack can. I like cans much better than bottles. Just went to the Dogfish site and said 60 Minute is in cans as well...and while i have no seen them yet, that would be great. I love 60 Minute as a good everyday beer.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Got me a big bottle of KBS today . I'm a happy boy Yumm! I love a good stout. 14th Star makes a great maple stout that's my go to. How was it?
Rob's House Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I've been on a sours kick lately. I like Aunt Sally from Lagunitas, but I've really been enjoying Sour Monkey from victory. It's 9.5% alcohol which is unusual for a sour but it's nice because you can sip it and get where you want to be, and as much as I like sours they're too tart to pound. To Plenz, Pooger, and anyone else who frequents Richmond, Strangeways brewery off Dabney Rd has a great cucumber melon sour. It's a little pricey but it's good. Edited April 17, 2017 by Rob's House
Cereal Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) was so happy today to see the SeaQuench from Dogfish sold in a 6 pack can. I like cans much better than bottles. Is SeaQuench good? Saw it for the first time at Wegmans last night, and intended to look it up (so, thanks for the reminder!)... Sounds awful based on the name As for me, Wegmans previously had a Unibroue mixed 6-pack that I was looking for last night, but I think they were out of it. Ended up with Bell's Oberon.

The Poojer Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Yes, they are a fun brewery with some of their offerings, sadly they seem to be neglected because of the clustering effect of the breweries popping up in the area, I've been on a sours kick lately.

More like a Gose than anything else..tart, light...could see having one or two on nice warm spring/summer day. I would rate it a 6 out of 10.

I don't know why but I like the tarts and just can't really get on board with the Gose. They are too fruity I think. I enjoy 1 but then I have to switch off of them.
