Finally made my way out to Treehouse yesterday. I got a bunch of different things. I was surprised to find they had King Julius available though I was only allowed to buy 2. I had the first of the 2 yesterday and have to say it was awesome. I'll be making thru the rest of my haul in the coming days/weeks. I got Green, Very Green, Haze, Doppelganger, Bright with Citra and the King Julius. Nice place by the way, wish I had time to hang out and try a few off the tap.

None of the stouts? They had a few milk stouts. Their stouts are tremendous also.

If I make it back I'll try some of the non-IPAs.

Also, shoutout to Charter Oak brewery in Danbury. Fairly new, but starting to get a following. My buddy is cousins with the owner. Pretty decent for an upstart.

I’ve been getting stuff from them for years, unless it’s a different Charter Oak Brewery.

I think they just recently opened a tap room, but yeah they've definitely been around for awhile.

Delicious and bitter.

Drinking Lawson’s Finest, Fayston Maple. Love thus beer.

If you like DIPAs, and you ever see Crucial Mass by Counterweight out there, buy it. It's fantastic!

Was just about to post this. The “thank u next” IPA is fantastic as well for the haze bomb drinkers.

Hey everybody, what about Natty lite? We've got 138 pages and nobody has gushed over it. Am I missing something?

Natty Light isn't even beer so why would it be in this thread?

I was at a Cinco de Mayo party on Saturday where a few yinzers actually brought Natty Light with them. Couldn't even get in the spirit with Corona Light or something still awful, but at least fitting with the theme. These were 40-50ish adults too. Also the type that don't put anything on their tacos but meat and cheese. I didn't engage them, but I imagine their conversation topics were limited to football and .

If you haven’t had Helios from Labyrinth yet. Get some. May be my favorite beer of all time.

 

[Waquoit]

I just heard that Labyrinth lost some competition. Apparently, Parable lost their lease and got out of the business.

It's all about the Naturdays these days.

In case anyone is interested, Artisinal Burger has Maine Dinner on tap tonight. $10.75, tho.

Plus...you can make it yourself at home (if you feel like punishing yourself).
Just take any halfway decent beer, mix decent beer with equal parts water. Gag it down. Enjoy!

That’s highway robbery

 

[Yardigan]

All of the Maine beers are wildly overpriced.
Had a few of these recently that went down well....

Wachusett Mass Soul
Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing
Heavy Seas CitraCannon
Long Trail VT IPA

...not bad for stuff you get at a store.....

I love Natty Lite still. Also enjoy Keystone’s bottle beer taste in a can.

Not a beer suggestion but more of a beer question. Heading up with the wife and kids to the White Mountains in NH in a few weeks. Looks like a bunch of breweries within a short drive of where we are staying in Whitefield. Can any of you suggest a good brewery around there that had good beer/food and is family friendly?

Quick search shows Copper Pig, Schilling, Rek-Lis, One Love, Saint J and Next Trick all within a short driving distance.

Is Woodstock Inn close? It's not great beer, just decent, but it's a very family friendly restaurant. Rek-Lis looks like your best bet food wise from your list, but I have never had the beer.

Starting to see some Hazy NE IPA's in stores in No VA. Two Roads(CT) Too Juicy, Long Trails VT IPA, Sam Adams NE Style IPA, New Belgium (CO/NC) has one, Victory (PA) has one. Couple others I can't recall. Long Trails I thought was very good.

My wife and I were in NH last summer. One Love has great food and the beer was solid. I had a summer bock that was so good.

The Woodstock Inn had beer that was better on tap than from the cans I brought home. Food was really good.

If you see cans in a store Moat Mountain is very good )out of North Conway area.

Schilling is great and definitely worth the visit. They also have a "Resilience" brand that falls under their brewery (like Jack's Abbey/Springdale). The brewery is located on a bubbling river next to a covered bridge. They offer pretty good pizzas for eats and make killer beer in pretty much every style (lagers, belgians, IPAs, sours, stouts, etc.).

I've only had Reklis and Copper Pig at festivals (haven't been to the breweries), but both were fine if not exceptional. Can't speak to the breweries over the border in VT.

You could consider a stop at Kettlehead on your way up/back in Tilton. Great spot for food and beer. About an hour away on the way if you take 93 (not on the way if you take 91). If taking 91, you could stop at the River Roost/Big Fatty's combo in White River Junction.

I'd also suggest taking the chance to hit Hill Farmstead in Greensboro, VT. You'll be a little over an hour away and it is widely considered the best beer in the world.
