Yeah I posted about this upthread a few weeks ago when I found out about it. Big bummer for me because it was my regular. Apparently they were barely breaking even before the pandemic and this just hastened their decision to close up shop. It's a beautiful space but it suffers from lack of foot traffic except for train commuters using the State Street station. I've heard people complain about the parking but I actually found it to be very available most times. Sneaky little trick is that the loading zone in front of the entrance turns into a regular parking spot at 4 pm, but few people read the sign so it was frequently available when I swung by.

Right across the street from an arcade I used to go to in the early 80s. Later became some kind of goth bar in the early 1990s.
 
After 5 liquor stores today I got the last 4 pack of Ice Cream Man IPA by Back East brewing in Bloomfield. Soooo good!
 
The opposite of snobby in any way but I can’t deny it: Naturday Natty Lights are delicious and perfect for this type of day. I love them.

In VT and I picked up a 4 pack of Lawson’s “space in between” thinking it was an IPA. ITS NOT! It’s more like a sour. ICK

I've never tried it, but it's considered a Pale Ale.
Lawson's promotes it as a "hazy ale with a hint of tartness".
So you're saying it's more than "a hint"???

I found this at my local place and had one yesterday. The one I had yesterday tasted pretty close to the on-tap version, which is terrific.

Was in the area, so ordered Tree House online Friday morning - they have mixed variety cases (amazing concept) - was able to get King Julius, Very Gggrreenn, juice machine, daze (single IPA of haze) and a bunch of the classics (52 beers total for $220, can’t beat that when garbage breweries are having you pay $20 for a 4 pack)

Waited in line in my car for 90 mins (just put on a podcast) - they had my order ready with some prep time in line and dropped it right at my car. Only bad thing I can say is that one of the jabroni Hand cart guys cursed me off for not waiting while the guy in front of me had issues with his order bc I wanted to get out of there (my bad).

highly recommended for anyone who can drive up there - they are just operating on a different level.

90 minute wait? You happened to go on probably the busiest day. On Saturdays and Sundays recently it's been about 30 minutes and during the weekdays probably 10 minutes.

Yes this Friday (7/3). Unfortunately wasn’t in the area until then. Still worth the wait.

Definitely more than a hint. But certainly not a full sour. I was able to finish it. Would not be able to down a full sour
 
I am a big fan of Aspetuck Brewlab in Bridgeport. My local packy was stocked with new Sun Summer Ale, their sour ale with pink Guava called Hawaii Five-O, and a new Saison called Field Share. Plus thier exceptional IPA called Turbidity Lucidity.

Has anyone had Coles Road Brewing yet? I've had them at various beer festivals over the past few years and they were fantastic but have not had a chance to try the crowlers since they opened up shop in Berlin

Aspetuck Brewlab products are best purchased at the source, so you can peruse the crazy (and expensive) glass selection at Stoked, which is in the same building
 
Tried the new Hopmeadow Brewing in Avon this past weekend.....picked up 32 oz. crowlers of their Polka Pilsner and 1760 Brown Ale. Tasty.
The Pilsner especially was nicely balanced as a Pilsner should be.

12% Beer Project is killing it. Great rotation! Marlowe, Everybody Wants Some, Fog... so many great beers

I've been pimping them for a while. The Eager To Share is a fave brew for me in 2020.

The Hog River brews are in cans now. #giggety. Their Golden Messenger kolsch-style ale is phenomenal.

It was gone in 48 hours. Then on Saturday was a limited batch with Amarillo on draft. Missed that, too.

So, a shout out to Naukabout on the Cape. The beer has really come a long way. Lots of good IPAs. Plus the location is awesome. Probably 40 new picnic tables with umbrellas set along a terraced space winding into the woods. Utterly ideal for Covid.

Prices kind of suck at $7 for a 10 Oz draft in a plastic cup. There is some food as well. Overall a fun place to visit.
 
didn’t read the entire but this bad boy is a solid ipa, first time trying it

Anyone been to Aslin brewing in Arlington? Some really good stouts. Second only to Trillium.

Will check it out although stouts are a cold weather beer for me. Trillium is selling out of IPAs immediately almost every day.
Anyone know of good breweries near RI beaches?

Well all the tap rooms are closed but Proclamation Ale Company is the best beer in RI by far in my opinion. You can order on-line and pick it up.

So I hope you're quarantining after you get back home from RI. :)
