Nice. Weird that it is hazy/unfiltered. I was always a fan of the old Red Hook ESB, maybe inspired by a brewery visit in Seattle. I think it's a nice fall style, mild and malty.
member #2. Picked up a taste for them when in England.

Been forever since I’ve had a scotch ale. NEBCO Neighbor of the Beast at least 6-7 years. That’s a dark one you’re sipping. Rolling the dice with those adjuncts… how is it?
Too freakin' easy. Like a 7%. Will be great near the fire bowl.
668, Neighbor of the Beast is so good.
I love a good Scotch ale. Will need to look for these. I traded for some Three Floyds many years ago when that's how you got it, and had some Robert the Bruce, their Scotch Ale. Fantastic stuff but it never makes its way here.
I was just coming here to post about Vue in Southington. I was in a local pub in Unionville and they had Vue’s Tarn in cans. A really nice English Brown and I see in their website they have an ESB in the hopper. They don’t have a taproom license, but you can buy beer to go. Glad to see English and Scotch ales making some headway in the IPA dominated landscape.
At the taproom, you get a full pour when you buy a glass.
Is there a limit to how many "glasses" you can buy? 😆
I’d like to see Beer’d brew a true hazy with a solid grain bill if they’re going to hop a DIPA with Nelson. They are still stuck in first-generation New England IPA mode. Nothing wrong with that, but when it’s not at a Heady or Focal Banger level, it’s not worth buying in place of better options.
Beer's is locked in on their staples. Nothing really new in a while in the IPA portfolio.
Had no idea the False Hope guy used to be at Beer’d or that he is now the head brewer at 12%. I’m so detached from the CT scene these days compared to days of yore. False Hope’s hazies are very solid. Really love his stouts. Flavorful, decent body and very drinkable (although some have been overly sweet from the adjuncts).
