Luminescence Hazy IPA from Florida Avenue Brewing. Solid NE Style, meaning despite the unfortunate use of “hazy” in the name, it’s made properly.

Interesting list. One brewery from my area, Odd Colony. Odd Colony and Alga are two breweries near me that consistently hit the mark with every beer they produce.

It’s a very nice list. Odd Colony crushes the lager game. I have had beers from about half the breweries on this list. Like most lists, this one is subjective. Definitely not my top 30.

6.7% … a rare sub-7% hazy in today’s world of over the top IPAs. Tastes like a Trillium Congress Street from 2017 with a bigger grain bill and a bit more body. Very impressive. Noble Savage out in Glen Cove, NY.

If Treehouse isn't on it, or Trillium or Hill Farmstead, then it's wrong. If Treehouse isn't #1 it's wrong. I like Edmund's Oast, it's my go to in cans in the Low Country, but it's a far cry from any of those three in my first sentence (or Tilted Barn or many others). New Glarus is overrated. Other Half is good. Pinthouse is just ok, goof for Austin. Russian River is iconic of course. Sierra Nevada is notably the best national brewery I suppose.

Perhaps the States best black lager. From East Rock Brewing.

Live in Litchfield sipping Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale. Yep.

It’s a very nice black lager, and it has continued to improve since they first started brewing it. I know it’s a true schwarzbier, which is technically a different (but similar) style, but it’s not nearly as good as Fox Farm’s Quiet Night or Counterweight’s Tmave, both Czech dark lagers.

Had a Delirium Noel last night to kick off Christmas beer season. Always a classic.

I have a tremendous backlog of reviews to get to so that you can start making informed beer choices again.

I need a review of this one. I believe it is made with tears, but you tell me.

A collab btw Industrial Arts and Equilibrium. A real juicer.

A post snowblower beer awaits. NEBCOs Imperial Stout Trooper.

Drinkin' in front of my dog.

Not even close to being epic. It's just okay.

Need to respect Lawson’s as a pioneer sort of like the Alchemist but really most of their beer is just decent.
