Everyone has pretty much jumped the shark at this point with over-the-top smoothie style diabetes-producing fruited sours. They’re not even beer. But they are delicious. Skygazer and Transcend have perfected the style here in CT. But I’d rather drink a 3-year blend of mixed fermentation beer from a place like Kent Falls.

100% Correct. Especially the Kent Falls stuff - they are knocking it out the park with those wild/mixed ones they're doing.
 
Great time of the year to talk Jack's Abbey. House Lager is good, but right now you can get their Red Tape amber lager. Great price ($10 for 6 tallboys), and my favorite seasonal release for this time of year. They stop selling it after the holidays
 
This is just spectacular. Treehouse Juice Project series from last night watching that miserable Patriots game.

I keep wondering when we will hit Peak Beer. Latest sign: I just picked up Ice Cream Man at a supermarket.

ADD: And it wasn't just on sale, it was On Sale.

Great tip, almost hit the brewery last week - but didn't really see much on their list that jumped out at me. Most are ranked 3.5/5 (untapped) although that's a very good score for lagers.

He's right that Red Tape is very good. I liked the old name better though. They are never going to get big ratings making beers that are takes on classic German styles. I think they make those kinds of beers as well as anybody though. They do also have Springdale, which is a bit more unusual, making ales and mostly barrel aging them (even IPAs).

The brewery is a good visit (at least in normal times), and has good food. If you are an IPA guy, Exhibit A is just down the street at the old Jack's Abby brewery.

Thanks, yes love the IPAs but particularly for winter want to work in some porters & other things that are easier on the stomach. I assume everyone is just pickup at this point. Definitely will check out Exhibit A
 
Finally got some cone flakes over the weekend. Not blown away. Also not as into Imperial IPAs as I once was.

Took a ride to Treehouse today. Julius, Green, Alter Ego, and Super Treat. Tried Alter Ego and Super Treat while I watched the women tonight. Should be good through New Years. Treehouse just blows everything away, except for maybe Lawson’s.

You should try Phantom Brewery in Hartford. He is putting out some great beers.

Super Treat might be my favorite beer by them.

B+? It was never at Fuzzy Baby Ducks or Super Sparkle type level IMO.
Expand ...
Agreed it never was FBD level. For me it was one of the first locals IPA's I really liked better than what was being sold in the packys.
 
I've been finding 12 packs of the new Firefly Hollow Double NEIPA LIT at Crazy Bruce's. I usually stay away from DIPA's...but this is really nice. Just a little sweetness.

Nod Hills great, one of the guys I used to work with left our company for a full time gig there. Best thing he ever did he said. Love supermantis!

They are great. Their free live music is truly one of the things I miss during covid times.

And as a beer lover who has trouble digesting wheat/gluten, I appreciate how oats are a prevalent grain in a lot of their beers. It helps build their soft texture while also being easier on the stomach.

It was a B around five or six years ago. Even if it stayed the same, others got better.

I remember hearing about it being legendarily awesome a couple years back, like Heady Topper level. It was just kinda meh

Troegs is great. Haven’t had that one though. Let me know how it is!

Yeah I remember loving their Nugget Nectar back when I drank beer regularly and was a hop head, but my sense is that others have surpassed them in the years since.

This one appears to be more of a spicy Belgian style.
