Too bad you missed Foam. Great beers.

I wasn't hunting for IPAs because I have soured on them due to the gastric distress they cause me. My buddy was drinking them and I was sampling his. I didn't see any Foam beers that weren't IPAs, but I know they make non-IPAs and I was looking for them. I actually planned on drinking much less beer than I did (funny how that happens in VT) and would have just stuck with cider, but the lagers and pilsners were so good and plentiful that I ended up having a lot of them.

Problem I have with a lot of the pilseners/lagers made by micros is that they're simply not good enough to justify the price difference between them and the macros or regionals.

Very good point. Like "gourmet" ketchup, I don't like it as much as Heinz. I don't remember having a craft pil/lag that I thought was better than "it's fine."

Not sure how long it's been available up north North but stores down south are stocking Sam Adams' '76. Part lager, part ale. Comes in cans. Perfect for beaches, boats and golf.

Its everywhere here in CT. A crusher late to the game maybe? I will buy a couple the next time I build a 6 pack.

Uh yes, craft beer noob. Bet you started drinking IPA's from Treehouse. You go wait in line for 4 hours, and all of a sudden you know everything about the history of microbrews.

If you tell me what Beer Advocate and Ratebeer's #1 beer was around 2009-2012, I'll stop calling you a craft beer noob idiot. Hints: its not an IPA, its not west coast, and its not around anymore. And during that time Belgians were almighty, but its not a Belgian either.

I've been drinking this stuff longer than Treehouse and Untapped.

I don't do online **c* measuring contests, so you win by default.

Just pointing out that there is distinction to NE style and Russian River did not start it.

Fair enough, but in that case just try to spare me the stupid "uh no" replies without any substantial backing. It keeps me from being triggered. I don't like being triggered.

If you don't think any of these West Coast's IPA influence is imprinted in the foundation of NE IPA's, then I don't know what to tell you. Anyone that shitss on Pliny, is an imbecile. And I don't even like IPA's, but I can declare that much.
 
New England Gold Stock Ale, from the first iteration of New England Brewing when it was in Norwalk, was an excellent beer from the first wave of the craft beer explosion. Ipswich IPA and Smuttynose IPA are probably the first examples I can think of for NEIPAs, back when each used to be cloudy, hazy beers. Can’t remember when McNeil’s started but he took it to another level. The style has come a long way since then but those were damn good beers in their primes.

I only "crap" on Pliny -it's a fine beer- because it's a favorite of name-dropping scrubs like August and the degree to which it continues to be over-hyped in the craft scene has itself become a joke here in SD at a few bars and bottle shops

And that goes for both Elder and Younger

I had a great time in SD about 6 or 7 years ago stopping at Ballast Point, Pizza Port, Stone and Lost Abbey. Some great beers down there, but yes they don't do IPA's well. Although Sculpin was huge for a while. I can't speak for IPA's, but Alesmith and Firestone Walker have been cranking out some excellent stouts, barleywines, belgian quads and scotch ales for a long time now.

I've gotten in to this multiple times already with other posters and I'm not at all interested in doing it again. All I'll say is that the county is nothing like it was 6-7 years ago. The vast majority of the 150+ craft brewers throughout the county are no older than 5 years, and several (Modern Times, Mikkeller, Pure Project, Toolbox, Novo Brazil, Abnormal, Half Door, and Burgeon to name a few) over the last 18 months have been cranking out NE/hazy IPAs that are at least on par with the stuff from back home.

Mikkeller has been around for a while, and they're Danish. Europeans aren't known to do IPA's well. Mikkeller is known for their stouts. I've had Beer Geek Breakfast and Brunch Weasel back to back and they're fantastic. Never thought of them as an IPA shop, but I suppose all have to adapt now to move into the American market. I think I visited their brick and mortar in SF. I don't know the others and can't really attest to IPA's too much anyway.
 
Did some blind taste tests last weekend with some friends: Sip of Sunshine, Heady Topper, Grimm Tesseract, Maine Lunch, Singlecut Use the NME, Trillium Cutting Tiles.

A local beer won: Bang A 'Uey - Community Beer Works (New York) | Photos - Untappd

If the small local guys can do an outstanding NEIPA, I think we're close to the top of this craze. Or maybe not.

2nd place: tie between Grimm and SOS.

Speaking of local guys these days: I go in to a craft beer store and see a bunch of bombers I want for like $25 a pop. I like a lot of heavy barrel aged stuff. I end up walking out with small shop local brews for $5-$8 a bomber. I sacrifice label for value because its so expensive its crazy and I drink too much. But often I'm surprised the local brews can keep up.

Mikkeller SD is about as distinct as it gets. No more than 5% of the beers they brew/offer here are Belgian/European style. And I've been to the DTLA spot, and I know that the NY spot both do mostly their European stuff. It's radically different here. Mostly (East Coast) IPAs, and within that several hazies; a few stouts, as you mention; and a few sours/goses.

Have a look
