I lean toward witbiers, in part due to my love of Belgium beers' but, I am trying to stay true to this damn Paleo diet I am on and thus beer is supposed to be a no-no. So, now I am exploring hard ciders as they are somewhat Paleo friendly. So far, I have tried a few and the best 'main' labels and to date, Harpoon's Craft Cider is my favorite. Other suggestions?

Citizen Cider is the best imo. From Burlington, VT. Just started being distributed in CT a few months ago. Their Unified Press is their standard cider and I think it strikes a perfect balance, not too sweet, not too dry. I rotate among that and their Dirty Mayor and Full Nelson. Dirty Mayor is flavored with ginger, which I love. But you have to really love ginger because it is pretty bracing with a very strong, natural ginger taste, not unlike good ginger ale. Full Nelson is dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin hops, and it is essentially a hop head's cider. Very dry, like lip-puckering dry.

I keep all three in stock at all times because it's good to switch back and forth among them so you don't get tired of any one taste.

ETA: Damn, I forgot the most important part for you: Wit's Up is their cider made with Belgian Wit yeast. You should probably seek that one out based on your preferences.

I got lucky on Sunday after the game (when it comes to beer, anyway). We stopped in at Pub 32 for a drink, and they had Hobbit Juice from Beer'd Brewing on tap. Been wanting to try that one for awhile; was very good. Then we went to Artisan Burger Company in Manchester, and they had Captain's Daughter on tap! Been wanting to try that one forever...but I was a little underwhelmed. It was good, but not as great as I had heard.
 
I'm sitting at my desk at work with a Pallate Mallet (Back East Brewing). For me, this beer is better in a glass than a can. Still, a quality brew.

To Rico...my first Captains Daughter (Gray Sails Brewing, Eli Cannon's tap) was excellent. Met expectations. I put right there side by side with Ghandi Bot (NEBCO).
Just below Lawson's Finest SOS.

I am done with Captain's Daughter. That is the most overhyped beer ever. The first time I had it, it tasted like drinking pure vanilla extract. Heard it was a bad batch. A few weeks ago I had it again and it was way off. Malty, boozy and it made me feel like crap.

Went to Beer'd for the first time a few weeks ago. Nice to be able to taste test. Got a fill of Hobbit Juice, but their stuff is not as flavorful as TH, imo.

I guess I've been lucky--never had a bad Captain's Daughter. I've only had it on tap once, at Eli Cannon's, and it was great; have had dozens of cans and all have been very good. I agree with Dove, just a notch below SoS.

Beer'd is the one that has consistently underwhelmed me, and the last few I've had from them have had a Belgian-y taste to them that made me wonder if they have a problem with their yeast.

Speaking of which, I've been having that problem with Kent Falls IPAs even more so. Totally inconsistent, and I suspect that their Brett yeast has infected their system. The Sweatpants IPA I had last week tasted nothing like the first time they made it, and nothing like an IPA. It tasted like a Belgian ale. I think these guys have hit a hard bump in the road and are struggling to maintain consistency.
 
I picked up a bomber of Knee Deep Lupulin River imperial IPA. Top tier...I'd put it right up there with SOS , GBot, etc.

I've been wondering about Knee Deep after seeing it on tap at Prime 16 recently. Haven't tried it yet, but I noticed that they had a tap-takeover at Prime yesterday with several of their beers, including that one. I'll have to check it out. Haven't heard anything about it until your review.

Haven't been out to Bend in a while but I loved Deschutes. Is that still going strong?

Deschutes is still going very strong and their Mirror Pond is ubiquitous. Jubel Ale in the winter is tough to beat.

I still remember the dry-hopped Mirror Pond I had on cask there more than 20 years ago. I loved it so much that I bought the shirt and still wear it proudly. Loved the fact that there's a Mirror Pond at UConn too.

I had a good one last night that I picked up at the Middlebury, VT Co-op. It is a doppelbock called Kloster Andechs, from a German monastery outside Munich (I think). It was fantastic, and it only cost $2.99 for pint bottle. Next time I'm up there, I'll definitely get more.

It is indeed outside of Munich. If you ever are in that city, the brauerei is worth the trip. One night long ago, 6? 8? of us (GI's) emptied a 30L keg of that bier, not really knowing what we were in for, oh boy... It's available in Zum Garten in NYC, but it was not as I remember it. Spezial Hell (special light) is very good too, my favorite.
Lauganitas ceases brewing Brown Shugga in December, and bought all I could find the last week in January, and now the last bottle is alone in the fridge.
 
Boba, send me some Pliny please.
I'll mail back some tree house. Not kidding.
 
Had a lagunitus citrusinensis ipa. Enjoyed it very much is part of their one hitter 2016 so I guess it won't be brewed again.

Did anyone try Old Man by treehouse? It's an ESB not bad but not really my type of beer. Guess a lot of people grabbed them last week having no clue what a ESB was and were very disappointed. Bought 4 from a friend who was trying to get rid of them for $3/can

Kinda reminds me of Newcastle

1) I *love* ESB's
2) Haven't had chance to try any treehouse yet.

I will gladly take them off of your hands. :)

Ive got 8 of them right now.
It is not bad, but Im not a huge ESB fan anyway, and this did nothing to convince me otherwise. The case of Green I got on the other hand...................................Incredible

I cracked a bottle of Knee Deep Cimtra triple IPA last night......11.25% ABV but doesn't taste too boozy. It was overall pretty darn tasty and I would recommend it. I'm not sure if it's been discussed here, but there's a new distributor that's brought some great brews to the state (Knee Deep, Singlecut). There's a lot of great brews available now and it seems like more breweries are opening every week. Everyone's pushing each other to be better and we are all spoiled because of it!

I've had a few Singlecut IPAs and have liked them. I'll check out Knee Deep.

I'm headed to mecca again this weekend. Hoping to grab some of the last decent snow of the season at Sugarbush, and a lot of great beers irrespective.
