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

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.

Falmouth Maine? Falmouth Mass has almost ideal weather.

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

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

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.
 
Tox Sailfest Pale Ale. Lovely for a hot day. Picked up a 4-pack at the brewery along with their newest Ink Series sour (Peach, mango, apricot). Fantastic!

I'm a big fan of this one too. This style is getting f-hazed out and it's a shame.

In a similar vein, ordered a pizza last night on way home from taking dog swimming. Went to Harry's (bought name and recipes from Harry's in Hartford). Waited for it at their bar. No taps, only bottles and they were out of the only hazy they had, so I had a Dogfish 60. Hadn't had one in years and I loved it when it was the "it" brewery. It went down OK, but none of the old thrill. And the aftertaste was fairly brutally metallic. Might've been sitting in the fridge awhile, but man, it was not a trip down memory lane.

It’s bitter with that onion/metallic note and malty as hell.

No dude. I was warning @HuskyHawk when I said “Like really old skool pine”. Totally not my thing. I also think Fuzzy Baby Ducks should be in everyone’s rear view mirror by now. Heady and Focal aren’t just nostalgic options for me. They’re still incredibly drinkable. But I’d rather drink clean hazies all day, every day.

The new school West Coast IPAs @Dove mentioned are a great change of pace. They are NOT the Westies of 10-15 years ago. Westbound & Down and Bierstadt, both in Colorado, make insane next-Gen WCIPAs. Fox Farm here in CT is dropping Refluent, their version of West Coast pale, this week.

it was a good beer. But not, even by old standards, what I always heard. It drinks like a good midwestern double, with the heavy caramel malt profile and enough piney bitterness to balance the sweet. Two Hearted style. Lots of people still love that. Those beers dominated in Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin etc. Heady and Double Sunshine (and Abner for anyone who actually had it) broke the mold, and then Treehouse, Trillium and others built on that foundation.

I may need to try the new west coast style, but I’m wary of excessive hopping during the boil and the non Citra “C” hops. Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, just not a fan.

I just had a regular Sam Lager at a hotel bar. It’s a well made beer. There are definitely situations where you can do worse. I remember trying it in college at the UConn - Yale Bowl game and thinking it was just insanely bitter. My how times have changed.

Understand your hesitation, but the next-gen WCIPAs are brewed more like NEIPAs in many cases. For example, the WC pale from Fox Farm I mentioned above dry hopped with Cascade,
Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo. So, plenty of pine, but also lots of citrus flavor, and more pronounced from being late-stage additions.
