A friend brought a few growlers (IPA, brown ale) from 30 Mile Brewing Co. in Old Saybrook to our party last weekend. It was meh-tastic. Quaffable, but that's about it.

Not a "best beer."

Thanks! Will take this advice. Although it's not near Dorset, it is on the road to Dorset, which is just as good.

I love Dorset. Such a pretty town. We have a place in Stowe, which is my favorite small town in VT, mostly because it is closer to the the airport and because of the family recreation opportunities. Dorset is my second love. I have found it is full of academics and artists, no surprise you go there. Beautiful homes with beautiful yards. It feels extremely classy yet rural somehow.

Looking forward to it. We are being put up at an old manor in town so we can do our work, but I look forward to exploring the area.

My local guy has spoiled me lately with fresh Maine Lunch, SoS and Gandhi-Bot. I am taking this opportunity to drink them side-by-side, in the name of science.

Started with Lunch and it was so tremendous I thought it would be the clear winner. But I'll be damned if SoS wasn't right there with it.

Taking water break before G-Bot. Will report back.
 
No shame in G-Bot taking third by a hair, with a two-way tie between Lunch and SoS for top honors.
 
Looks like we are back on the BB board.

Got a new beer Sunday I'd been looking for and not finding, Jack's Abby Excess Double IPL. Triple Dry hopped. It's an absolute hop monster.

But better still was Singlecut's Softly Spoken Magic Spells. I love the name and the beer. Incredibly soft, juicy and aromatic, with minimal bitterness. Reminds me of Hill Farmstead Abner.

I was at Oliver's in Essex once many many moons ago and left with a nice girl. When I learned a bit more about her the next morning over coffee I realized I "ate a Captain's Daughter". Way ahead of you Dove!;)

Just last week I was at the local watering hole on a rare but happy occasion when they had SoS on tap. Guy comes in sits a few stools down and had no luck with his first couple of selections so he says pointing to me, "I'll have what he's having ,[to me] what is it?" "It's called Sip of Sunshine, I think you'll like it."

A minute later I hear from my left, "THIS is the beer!" I turn and the guy is holding his glass in his raised outstretch arm and looking at it as if it was the Holy Grail. I knew where he was coming from.

You've inspired my choice for first drink tonight.
 
Just opened a 16 oz. Broad Brook Hopstillo IPA....already planning my next move....probably a NEBCO Sea Hag IPA.
I love Saturdays at home. :)
 
Wow world class is now 4 miles from my house.
Steady Habit coalesce the absolutely smoothest DIPA I've ever had.
It's like drinking carbonated orange juice . Get there soon I predict treehouse/ Nebco lines in a couple months

It's the best I've had from then. And I like their stuff. This is up a notch

I dunno...the water in Tylerville (south Haddam) is hazardously polluted and this brewery is less than a mile from the source (State DOT site). This brewery was required to use major filtration. Hopefully they are.
 
@Matt (Chicago) Being that you're from Chicago, are you a fan of Heileman's Old Style? I'm Canadian and by birth a beer snob, but Heileman's is liquid gold. It's my favorite beer on the planet.

Zone this ,mr buzzkill
 
Really enjoyed an ale called "Labyrinth" bought at Lazy Dog beer shop in Londonderry, NH. It is a Quadruple Black Ale brewed in oak barrels , made by Uinta brewing out of Salt Lake City. The owner highly recommended it. This ale is very dark, has a long lasting head, and has a slight liquorish taste, it is complex and great to sip. Alcohol is high at 13.2%. It also was expensive at $15 for 750 ml bottle. Will definitely try again!
