Fat Orange Cat has some good hot pepper ales. The mild isnt great but the Medium was good. I'd like to try and find the hot but havent seen them in stores so far.

The hot and medium Jalapeño Jack variants are the perfect beach or lawnmower beers.

this was a fave of mine when out in Colorado.

Soulcraft Brewing Green Chili Ale

Green Chile Ale captures all that you love about fresh roasted chiles. A deep, roasted aroma greets you and a wonderful chile flavor follows. Serrano chiles are added to create a bright flavor and heat. English hops provide light bitterness and floral notes that let the big chile flavor shine...

Did a drive-by at Marlowe in Nyack on Friday afternoon. Zac Ross is so on his game right now. The guy simply doesn’t miss. I dislike brown ales and find them boring. His was dynamic. Czech dark lager and German pils were special. This is his new DDH 6% IPA, William, named for his father. Body of a pale ale with the flavor profile of a hop-saturated, fruity DIPA… he coaxes so much flavor out of lower ABV beers.

Anybody celebrating with a beverage?

Bourbon barrel-aged version of Peche Mortel. Regular is a great beer, but the BBA is really outstanding.

Nice lighter, crushable version of Broccoli. Glad to see you’re getting that OH distro up in the Bay State.

I tried my first Marlowe today because of you jabronis. This one is fantastic.

That’s a great beer, brewed only once a year. Canned in November. Glad to hear it was still good. Had some Marlowe yesterday. Nelson-hopped variant of the Asking Kindly IPA series. 7% ABV and tastes like candied mango and honeydew.

This one snuck out of 12% in North Haven. Glad I got some.

I have been shying away from IPAs lately, just kind of burnt out on them, but you guys were the instigators for me picking up the 4-pack. I did read that they only brew this for their anniversary each year. Deliciously drinkable at 8%, I wiped out the 4-pack last night. I think I'll dive a little deeper into their other beers.

Looks like you’re up in Farmington, so it isn’t a quick trip… but if you’re ever in Westchester, Rockland or Putnam counties in NY, I suggest you hit their small brewery and tap room in Nyack. Pushing out lower ABV lagers, pilsners, pale ales on tap. Just fantastic beers. He is canning an English dark mild at 12% Beer Project in the next few weeks, which should be available at packies throughout CT.

Yep, I'm in Farmington, but I do get down that way on occasion. Thanks for the heads up on the mild. English style beers are dominating my palate right now. Always looking for an ESB and their relatives.

These guys are a gypsy operation here in Stamford. They essentially find breweries with excess capacity and move around. Primarily out of Lock City in Stamford, but they’ve also brewed at Veracious in Monroe and over the border in Port Chester. Super nice guys but their beers are average at best.

Damn.

Don’t worry. I know you have plenty of CT-brewed beers from North Haven and other in-state breweries. Just load up on beers brewed in CT tonight and the mojo will be positive.

lol. The above beer turned. Hideous.

Now sipping Flying Into The Fog!! Blackout Jinx for 2nd half.

Went to Husky Tox again yesterday and tried their Fire Coral "Red Alert" which is the same spicy red ale with an infusion of Ghost peppers. It was delicious and very warming. I cooled things down after with a Key Lime Pie Sour which was also fantastic.

A lovely Red Ale made with hot peppers. Deliciously drinkable with a little zing on the palate from the Habaneros.View attachment 84842

Pregame, game time, and hopefully post-game celebratory beers for tonight. I’ll hopefully be a mess in the morning.

Hudson Valley sour IPA, Marlowe IPA, Treehouse pastry stout, Vitamin Sea x Fidens collab DIPA

Refreshment last weekend. (It's Bell's Two Hearted Ale in there) Same fence post, looking in different directions. Not a bad camping spot and the 70+ degree temps were welcomed, given that it was 11 degrees at my house 2 days before.

This is probably only useful for @Chin Diesel but we stopped at several breweries and beer spots on our trip to FL and GA.
St. Augustine: Rendezvous Beer Bar. Fun hole in the wall spot loaded with bottles/cans from around the world and 6 taps. There's a restaurant separate from this place. In Old Town.
Fernandina Beach: Amelia Island Brewing Co. (AIBC) - beer was meh at best. Location is great. Mocama - excellent beers and a really nice taproom. Converted from a car dealership.
St. Simons Island: Barrier Island Brewing - Good beer, nice tap room, big covered patio with fans. Considered watching the Miami game here. Terrible parking situation. Village Inn & Pub is where we stayed and the Pub is solid and gets a lively crowd.
Jacksonville: In the older Springfield neighborhood that used to be "the hood". Historically Hoppy Brewing - Beer was ok. They have no idea what a NEIPA is, like most places in the south. Tap Room was nice. Strings Sports Brewery - Now this is a concept. Massive place, loads of TV and some games. Mostly open to a large patio, and it even had parking. Beer was actually good too.

IMO: West Coast IPAs rule (hophead here).
East Coast/New England IPAs are too clingy/grape-fruity. Everything else is girlie-man beer.

Thanks. I'll keep this in mind next time I head east towards there.
