Can someone try Trillium's new Keytar Bear and let me know how it is? I have serious nostalgia from 2013 about early-years keytar bear and Trillium, and this beer becoming a thing is the funniest thing that happened this week

Funny you should ask. I stopped by Trillium this afternoon to get Keytar and some other stuff. Keytar was sold out. They said it was all gone yesterday except they had some on draft for growlers this morning but that went quickly also. A friend got some cans so he said he'd save me one.

I remember seeing Keytar Bear playing outside the Park St stop across from the Church back in 2013, just around the time Trillium must have been brand new and were doing pours and small growler fills in their spot in Fort Point. The next time I went, they could only let half the amount of people in as before, and could only sell 22oz bottles.

Not shocked it sold out, pretty sure it came out early this week. Plus, frickin Keytar Bear. It's crazy, given what they were doing when I first drank their beer, to now, an international craft giant that sells out new releases same day

I just had the 45 tonight. It was really, really good. I bought the 46 also and if it's better I can't wait to try it.
 
Keytar is ok, but not great. Way too much vanilla for me that makes it sweet. Nice as a break, but hard to pound a 2nd one.
 
Sorry if this is a repeat, but Im in Newport RI for a wedding and had a beer from proclamation ale company last night at dinner, a NEIPA, and it was awesome - had never heard of them before and only got it because I was trying to order a fox farm beer (also awesome) and they were out of it. If you see anything by them give it a shot.

Checked out Iron Hill Brewery while in Greenville, SC this week...Crusher is an excellent session.

Proclamation recently moved from a warehouse right next to URI, to a warehouse in Warwick (right near the airport)... always a fun visit...variety of options
 
Bell's Brewing (Comstock, MI) is now in CT.

Was given three sample brews by a packy owner I know. He wasn't interested in tasting them when a sales dude left them there. So, I am his taster.

The Two Hearted Ale is fantastic!! Smooth 7% ale with slight orange on the nose and it is so smooth.

The Oberon Wheat Ale is also really good. Wheaty. Didn't get much hoppiness in it but there supposed to be some spiciness in there. Very good beer.

Tomorrow I will drink the Bell's Amber Ale.

Great brewer. Two Hearted Ale was one of my all-timers, but all their beers are great if you like the style.

Treehouse is solid, but I was getting a little worn out with 57 varieties of DIPA. A friend gave me a can of "Old Man" which is an ESB (Extra Special Bitter) and I was blown away! So refreshing to see them make a great beer in a style that is falling between the cracks as every brewery is cranking out this week's rendition of last week's DIPA.

They’ve been making Old Man for at least 3 years. Probably the best yard work beer you could ever buy.

Two Hearted is great, and I can't wait for Hopslam in January. They've been making this DIPA for nearly 15 years.
 
I'll have to buy a sixer of Two-Hearted. I tried it on tap at THC and wasn't blown away.

My fond memories of it are based primarily on my experience with it 10 to 20 years ago. I would be curious to see how it stands up to the IPAs of today.

No bitterness. No citrus blast. Subtle hoppiness. Its very smooth and crushable.

I remember drinking Bell's beers around 1990 when I was at the University of Michigan. It was the only local craft beer around there and I think their brewery was very small. They brewed some interesting stuff. They must have expanded since then.
 
I have some PTO coming up next month; looking for a little advice from anyone that may know. First, I'm going to Lake Winnipesaukee in mid-July. Does anyone know of any good breweries in the area? It's a family vacation, so I can't really travel that far from the lake...hoping there's something nearby.

Also, I'm off at the end of July and plan on going to Treehouse with my dad on August 1st, a Wednesday. We're planning on golfing in the morning somewhere nearby, then stopping in to grab a case or two of beer (and hopefully a couple of pints). Should we plan on golfing after we go get beer? Will they run out of certain types if we don't show up when they first open?
