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?

Breweries closest to Winnipesaukee are Kettlehead in Tilton and The Lone Wolfe in Wolfeboro. Both have taprooms. Burnt Timber Brewing & Tavern in Wolfeboro is more of a brewpub (I've never been there but that's what it sounds like). There are others around there but not as close. Depends which part of the lake you're on. Check this out for other breweries in NH: Beer Map - Brew NH

With Treehouse, the taproom isn't open on Wednesdays. Just Tuesdays and Saturdays. With the increased capacity at the new brewery in Charlton they don't usually run out of the regular rotation beers that they offer that day (usually 3 of the regulars like Julius, Green, Haze, Doppelganger, Bright) but if there's a special release or something they have a 2 can limit on (like King Julius, Very Green, etc.) that usually sells out quicker. Although the 2 can limit is put in place specifically so they don't run out. Either bring a big cooler to put all the beer in or go golfing first. I've never been there when they open at noon but I heard the lines usually are better around 3:00.

Awesome, thanks for all the great advice! Good to know they most likely won't run out.

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.

Bell's is good stuff...I LOVE the Two-Hearted...
 
The explosion of microbreweries is the best thing that's happened in America in the last 5 years.
Pretty much anywhere you go these days, there's at least one, usually multiple, microbreweries nearby.
God continues to bless America....
 
Can't believe this thread slipped to page 2. I'll bring it back to page 1.

If anyone is near Trillium you should pick up some Wetsuit. It's a collaboration with Evil Twin and just came out yesterday. If you like the juicy New England style IPAs this is about as good as it gets. It was really good. 9.9% triple IPA without a hint of bite. Really smooth and full of fruit flavors.

Wetsuit Triple IPA
 
I went out to the bar a few weeks ago and they had Dogfish Head 120 Minute on tap. It was very boozy, and I didn't know until I ordered it that it's 18% ABV. Needless to say I took my sweet time with it.

Looks delish...and I've found I really like those with Mosaic and/or Citra hops....

Well being in Michigan a lot I drink it a lot.

Its fine.

But these days? Its pretty mundane compared to what we are drinking here.

Best I can say for it in comparison to the Heavyweights coming out almost daily these days. Is that it is more medium bodied, even weighted hop wise, and coiffable. To the point you could almost think of it as a summer time "Cold drinking" IPA

It doesn't. I get it down in SC when I visit my parents. Super thick and malty, a bit sweet. It's certainly a decent IPA, but it's almost a highly hopped, higher abv English IPA in style. I'd say if you blended Dogfish 60 and 90 50-50 it would be similar.

Thanks for the head's up. Sadly I just started one of those almost @August_West style diets again yesterday, and so it would just sit (along with lots of beer I already have). Sounds good though.
 
Fuzzy is available in cans on Friday. This is one of my favorites. NEBCO is a great brewery.

Get your Fuzzy for the fourth!! Don’t miss it. Delicious. Best beer around!

Let me know if you need help with beer "storage".... ;)

If you’re in the mood for a funky beer I had Beet Boss by the Newburgh brewing company. It’s by no means the best beer but it’s pleasant different type of beer. It’s an IPA brewed with beets which gives it a very unique flavor along with a cool red color. Not sweet but not sour either.

I've seen beet beer before, but was afraid to try it, because, well...beets.
Although, I guess I should know by now that, nothing goes better together with everything than beer...

I love the description they give for beers now....take this one for example...
If you have the 49, let us know if you get:

"Rounded flavors of creamy orange sorbet, lime zest, and watermelon popsicles develop on the palate."

Watermelon popsicles sells better than watermelon jolly ranchers.

I think they hire marketing majors straight of college to write these. Yeah, a little over the top.

I heard there are some good beer sales promotions going on in Atlanta at the Braves ballpark.
 
Went to Crooked Current in Pawtucket tonite. The S>MASH is not bad at all.

Just saw an add for Narragansett Fresh Catch...Most of what they make...don't like at all...but with Citra....wondering....is this worth trying?

Had it tonight. Didn't taste any of those flavors. It is relatively fruity sweet with a smooth mouthfeel though.
 
Just picked up some of this Trillium-Other Half collaboration.

All Hundred Thousand Trillion Everything

Funny story. So I knew they had limited amounts left so I got there about 11:30 (they opened at 11:00). There was a line about 30 people long and the guy working there came out and said that past the first 15-20 people they were probably going to run out of it. I got to the front of the line and I literally got the last two 4 packs. There were actually 2 more cans left after that (there was a three 4 pack limit) but I let the guy behind me have them. On the way out people were offering me money for them but I just kept walking.

This stuff with hard to get beers is getting out of hand. It's crazy.
 
Went to palm beach for a wedding and stopped at civil society brewing in Jupiter. Good atmosphere and good beer if you are in the area.
 
Picked up some Lil Citra from Pipeworks for the West Haven Fireworks tonight. I remember it being pretty good when I had it a few months ago...I guess we'll find out how good my memory is soon.

Agree. Quality is worth investment of 'some' effort...maybe...but, with the explosion of microbreweries and in-store selections, it's really no longer necessary to stand in line for it...jmho.
