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.

Abbey Ale is very good, but Three Philosophers is where it's at. GREAT beer.

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

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.

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!

Do you have to get it at the brewery? No retail yet?

ha...I am a fan when I go to Wrigley (although they don't sell it in the stadium anymore so its more something I grab at bars outside the stadium), and they sell it at a lot of the dive bars near my house, but other than that I don't usually go for it... wont go out and buy a six pack or anything, but I do enjoy it when the time is right. Big fan of New Glarius Spotted Cow though, I make sure to grab a couple cases whenever I'm in Wisconsin.

Has anybody visited Beer'd in Stonington yet? I had some of the beers at a fest, but I'm trying to find some excursion for myself on June 25th, and thought about visiting.
