Had some beers from Night Shift Brewery in Everett, MA last night.

Their Whirlpool APA is one of the best session beers I've ever had.

Been drinking the Frost beers that I picked up in VT a few weeks ago. Have had the Plush DIPA, West Coast IPA and Coffee Porter so far. Plush was the best by far. The Coffee Porter was very nice, too. The West Coast IPA was fine but nothing special. Looking forward to the Lush DIPA and two session IPAs.

Have had three of the Alchemist "Skadoosh" APAs and have enjoyed them, but not as much as Focal Banger, which remains my favorite of their beers.

I had the Santilli and the Furth. Santilli won awards but it seemed average to me.

Also had two tremendous and interesting sours last night from Wicked Weed Brewing in North Carolina. My buddy bought them in Boston and brought them over.

"Recurrant" was aged in Cabernet barrels and made with black currants and it was excellent, like a Rodenbach Grand Cru.

"Aicha" was really different and really good, blended with Green, Jasmine and Oolong teas. I drink Oolong tea all day so this was a really interesting and good combo for my tastes.

Definitely very good beers for a rare treat if you like sours.

Not to mention your waistline unless you get a lot of help consuming all of this. Save some Dinner and I'll throw in some Juice Machine...

Counter weight IPA, called Steadfast I think

It's called called headway

They were OK--not great.

Now I'm off to buy some Grimm BFF and some Founders KBS

Can you grab me some KBS? I'm right in Boston.

Haven't had those, but their French Toast and Milk & Cookies are tasty dessert beers.

Drinking my first one of these (Counter Weight Headway IPA) right now. Saw it at my local when I went to pick up some ciders.

It's really excellent. Very soft--reminds me of Maine Brewing, Bissell Brothers, etc.).

$16 for a four pack of 16 oz. cans is pretty steep, so I'm glad I don't drink much beer any more. This one would be hard to resist.

I stopped believing this about 20 posts ago on this thread. Did you learn from watching Trump? jk

Agreed. I didn't get the hype on that one. Thought the Whirlpool was much better.

I've been splitting them with others most of the time so I get to taste more. Now that I've lost 50+ lbs. I'm allowing myself one or two beers a couple nights a week. But I still feel like crap if I drink more--so I don't.

But I didn't split the Headway. And I finished it in record time.

 

[Jay-Bone]

I'm there often as well. I'll say boneyard a lot next time I go

Oddly enough I mentioned throwing up Uconn hand signals in Tree House lines about 2,000 posts ago in this thread.

Weren't you the one eluding to drinking more meads? That's not gonna help the "feel like crap" factor.

Cider not mead.

Don't know what it is about beer but it doesn't sit as well with me.

I think we paid about 14. How did you go about losing 50 pounds? Focus on skipping carbs?

I walked in to my craft beer store and they let some jackass buy 10 of the 20 cases they had. There were 20 peope ahead of me, and the 20 cases sold out in less than 15 minutes.

I asked them why they did it this way, and they said they made a mistake. Urgh.

Went shopping at Wegmans 6 hours later, and I grabbed one of the last 4 they had. Should have known that Wegmans would also have some.

I am not so lucky finding it. But am hearing it goes for $10.99. Your guy seems to be gouging.



Also, having not received an invite to Zionn's pad I am here sipping my first ever cream ale. From Branford's DuVig Brewing Co. With a name like cream ale I expected something mild. It has a bite.

I've found it in a package store in hamden. I thought it was good, but not better than NEBCo's single IPAs, and no where close to Fuzzy IMO. In fact, I had Supernaught at Prime 16 the other day and it was FANTASTIC.

I had Sip of Sunshine dry hopped with Citra and Mosaic today at Mikro-soo good!

I've usually preferred Supernaut to FBD.

Frost Lush is very good, but Plush is fantastic. I like Foley Brothers a lot too. Back in VT for Easter, hitting HF and Alchemist again. I'm so tired of Focal.
