Kent Falls is really an excellent brewery - great variety, and not all hop bombs.

That's good to know.

IPAs are just plain tiring at this point.

I actually had a CT beer recently. Pretty good. Hadn't had anything from this brewery before.

Always loved that, but a few bad batches when they switched brewing locations gave it some badwill.

Are they actually any good now? I've haven't been since pre-COVID and then it was hands down the local beer I've ever had.

A personal favorite of mine, although quite a hike for people in CT is Schillings in Littleton, NH. A European style brewery, they still have IPA's for people who love them but their bread and butter is Czech style lagers, Bocks, and awesome Milk Stouts. Highly recommend the pilgrimage up 91 to Littleton in the summer, as the town is also really fun and a "top 10 small town" in America

I can’t like this post enough. Schilling is amazing. Rice lagers, italian pils, you name it. They make every crispy style under the sun, and do so exceptionally well. And if you enjoy hiking and old mill towns on the comeback, Littleton is the place to visit in the summer.

Posted this one on the Instagram beer account this morning. The Riwaka-hopped variant of Marlowe’s Eager to Share. Limited distro throughout CT. Just a clean, flavorful pale when you don’t want to have your day disrupted by a higher ABV beer.

They also do great (for the North Country) wood-fired pizza. The rest of the breweries around here a pretty good too; Rek-Lis and Iron Furnace are pretty standard NEIPA spots but Red Barn over in Danville is great and theres a sour brewery in St J's too; and seconded on the hiking here, White Mountains hikes and 4000 footers can't be beat (unless youre doing the Notch on a holiday weekend, then yikes)

I'm in CT for the weekend, do I have to go to Kinsman to buy the Husky Hops beer? Would love some for the NCAAs.

A beer for every NCAA team. They blew the Vermont choice. Should have been Foam. PC is correct. Bryant is the right brewery at least. Kansas they chose the one brewery I haven’t been to. UT I would have picked differently in Austin.

2022 NCAA Tournament beer guide: A local brew for each team. Happy Selection Suds-day

The NCAA Tournament is more than a few dozen games. It’s a month-long hoops jubilee with massive cultural pull. And it’s back at full power this year, with fans in the stands at sites coast-to-coast, savoring all the drama and emotion. And, probably, a few beverages. So given the inevitably...

Until recently that was Pennsylvania beer. Longlive is excellent

Ok @Chin Diesel got this at Bill’s liquors on Lady’s Island for the game.

Trips to the Whites are probably the thing I miss most about leaving New England. Spent a lot of time up there as a kid - my dad was actually looking at buying a motel up there year he passed. I'd already done 45 of the 4000s before I moved here in '02, but legs don't work anymore so likely will never get those three Bonds even if I do go back. There were no microbreweries of any note back then, but I sure wish Pittsburgh would get something that wasn't all IPAs or sours. That place sounds right up my alley.

I'm actually up in Myrtle Beach all week for a weeklong golf trip with some friends.

Been drinking the Helles Lager and Damn Yankee from Bluffton.

Hope you enjoyed the beer more than the UConn game

I’d enjoy anything more than the game. But I’m old. Seen a lot of winning. I’ll live.

Had a few of these with seafood for dinner tonight. Works real with seafood.

I’m actually wearing a UConn shirt today. But my Untappd pic is me and Chief Wiggums at Universal Studios.

Really nice Altbier from Tilted Barn. Crisp and light body with a nice malty flavor.
