Yep, my friend brought me back a mixed case from Lawson's (Little Sip, Double, Hopcelot) and Alchemist (Heady, Rapture). Hopcelot the best I think, drank one of the four and simply had to have another immediately.

I know that Heady is The Godfather, but my beer palate has changed since it came out, and I no longer really like it. I can't wait to try Hopcelot - I'm guessing it's similar to Hopzilla.

I went to Lawson's last week to scoop up some Little Sip. Also grabbed Double Sip and Hopzilla. Hopzilla is my favorite of the three by far, and now I wish I got more. Wanted some Hopcelot but it wasn't available to order for pickup.

Yes, it's good. And available in CT! You must try Hopzilla, and from what I'm hearing, Hopcelot as well.

I had my first full beer in around a year this past weekend: Lawson's Double Sunshine. It was worth it. Very, very nice beer that reminded me of everything I used to love about beer.

I also tried a taste of Eyes of Lust, a wonderful hoppy blonde ale from Watson Farmhouse Brewery. I read that he is also the head brewer at the new Newsylum Brewery in the old Fairfield Hills in Newtown. That definitely looks like a destination to hit.

I live 15 min away in Monroe and plan to possibly go Saturday. If I do I’ll give a review!

Good choice. It's quite a bit better than Sip in my opinion. Has that dankness that you don't see often anymore.

Beer for art's sake. FAB: We are a gypsy brewery based out of Somerville and brewing at Dorchester Brewing in Boston.

Very god, plus, plus they set up the can art so you can peel it off the can and stick it wherever you want, or as call it, inside the shed.

I had one of their beers a couple weeks ago. Very good. The other side of the alcohol spectrum. 13% Triple IPA.

Have to give these props...have purchased several times now. I am a normally "4 pack averse" kinda guy because there are so many 6ers in the $10-11 range that are good...but these are pretty tasty.

4 Packs always give me the heebie jeebies, plus they’re always like incredibly expensive.
 
Had some Cloud Candy on tap today, extremely tasty full flavored, cloudy juicy in the Trillium/Treehouse styles but much more affordable per my fellow taste testers.
 
When is the IPA craze going to end? My store stopped carrying Unibroue because they simply don't sell enough. Come on people, drink more Belgian beers please!

fwiw, when I make Belgian meatballs, I use Golden Monkey (Southern Tier). One can goes in the sauce, one can goes in me.

But, Belgian Ale in a can? Have never seen that before.

American ingenuity ;)

Bonus for me is cans are curbside recycling, glass is not. I'd put it a hair below FdM, but it's still good.

It isn't going to end. New England IPAs are probably 2/3 the cooler at my local shops. They get way more space than even Bud Light.

Do you really have a hard time finding Belgian Ales? They sit on the shelves collecting dust mostly. I love a nice Chimay Bleu or Abt 12 now and then but can't drink them often. Despite your comment about Golden Monkey in cans, Unibroue would sell more in cans. I sometimes see the four packs, but usually it is the big format bottles that people hate.

I should drink more of those Belgian beers, and more Ayinger Celebrator too. It's interesting that they are now cheaper than the IPAs I drink. @Yardigan is evidently not buying $16-20 4 packs like I am.

The problem with Belgians in cans is that many of them are supposed to be exposed to continuous filtered light.

My problem is just with Unibroue disappearing from local stores. It's just better/cheaper than the alternatives (Ommegang, Allagash, Singlecut). The beers from Belgian are typically either not as good or else they are tripels and quads which are special occasion beers.

That's a pretty high recommendation. & Southern Tier is local to me--& I've never tried it!

Quite another topic, but I recently saw the Beastie Boys movie on Showtime, and I never realized how this song practically ended their careers. It became a frat anthem, which made the hip hop community disown them, and the boys themselves started partying with frat boys. They were kicked to the curb soon after that by Russell Simmons and their manager. It took a few years for them to get serious.

Omg. I figured the beer tourism in Burlington was probably hurting. Not surprised that Alchemist is broadening distribution.
 
Yes, and the local place is only selling 2 cans at a time.
