Beer

I'm over in Europe for work and was gifted a bottle of this. I'll open it open when I get to the states but it looks promising.

Not my preferred style, but if you dig Belgian strong ales, it’s a solid representation of the style.

I've had the regular Val Dieu Grand Cru and it's decent, but not the Excellence.

Please tell me this isn't the same Cisco fortified wine from the 90's.

It’s Cisco brewing from Nantucket. Whale Tale Pale Ale was always my staple when visiting Martha’s Vineyard.

A glass of Tubular IPA from Orono Brewing Company. Love it. Nice lil juice bomb.

My haul from Portland, Maine's Belleflower Brewing. A west coast IPA and an IPA. Also, I simply asked if there was a single can rolling around and she threw in the Scrugsy because I was nice.

As I mentioned yesterday on your Instagram post… I am HIGHLY envious of your Vacationland beer adventures. Have never tasted anything from Belleflower but they have been on my radar for a while.

So went to Davio’s for my wife’s birthday and I spent $19 on an Italian beer. This was a stout. It was good, but quite mild, easy to drink. Didn’t have the overpowering flavors we often see. This had some chili pepper but it was barely noticeable.

Wow!!

It's a #1 must stop for me, even if just to buy and go.

Now Bissell Brothers is on that list.

Bissell’s Here’s to Feeling Good All the Time remains one of my favorite DIPAs of all time. Bissell just brews such clean, beautiful beers.

Grilling beer. Before the rain comes.

It’s weird that probably half the Bissell Bros I’ve ever had has been at Gillette Stadium. Trillium, Tilted Barn, Lawton’s, they really have a good set of options.

Thought of you when Nate dropped this video yesterday. What a ridiculously gorgeous setting in Woodstock, CT. We might need to do a Boneyard beer drinkers meetup here in the fall….

Friday evening thirst crusher. My first beer from Banded Brewing in Biddeford, Maine. Delicious representation of the style.

@Dove is en fuego with beer pics on Instagram this week. I think he drank his way across the state of Maine.

Awesome place to grow up (Falmouth)...awesome place to visit. Only issue is the weather...just two seasons..."4th of July" and "winter"...

Not a great June here. They said maybe 4 days of sun.

In Bar Harbor you'll find a hole in the wall called Fogtown Brewing. The kitchen makes the place hot . Anyway, the small glass is a tasty saison with seaweed. Yep, seaweed. The larger quaff was a tasty IPA.

Tree House Brewing opens brewery on 100-acre Woodstock farm

Tree House Brewing opens brewery on 100-acre Woodstock farm

Technically, it’s been open to the public for a few years now, and has been selling its ciders and fruit wines in Woodstock during that time. The only change is the addition of a couple of draft pours now available… and the fact that TH is now promoting the place to beer drinkers. Even regular Charlton customers in the form of re-seller &@$#lords didn’t know Woodstock was open to the public all this time.

Guessing they are brewing on-site? My 1-2x a week jaunts to Monson were like a religious experience for me.

Falmouth Maine? Falmouth Mass has almost ideal weather.

I don’t think they brew anywhere but Charlton. Capacity there is a enormous. These satellite locations are just points of sale.

I was hoping for some small batch stuff. Their Lucid dream Hefeweizen is as flavorful as any I’ve had since Tabernash in CO in the 90s

 

[HuskyHawk]

Just got this. Amazingly, I’ve never had it. Was never sold in Mass and I missed it every time in CT.

Worth trying if you’ve never had it. But it’s old school. Like really old skool pine with a hint of citrus. Lots of Simcoe.

Maybe I can take a few chances on Stony Creek again. This brew was knocked out the park!!

Wasnt it originally "Gandhi bot" and people got too upset with the name?

That’s my recollection. I tried it today. Bit too piney and bitter at first. Also very carbonated. Then it settled down and the malt came through. Good, but definitely old school good. Doesn’t hold up as well as say, Heady Topper or Double Sunshine.

Yes
