Beer

[HuskyHawk]

An amazing stout. But, there are some better versions here in CT, when brewed.

Better? Nonsense. As good. Maybe

 

[Fishy]

It's a convivial collaboration.

It's good....here's the rub with Schilling. They release so, so much that it all seems to run into each other.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Early slate games beer.

 

[Chin Diesel]

First time in Poland. A crisp, pale lager. Clean and crisp is the profile. Doesn't packa flavor punch but it is easily drinkable watching a game or at a local pub.

"Beer expert! How come you are letting these halfwits talk about wallets when I am just here looking for beer reviews?"

I am sorry. I've been yelling at imbeciles on the basketball board.

A pine cone and an orange had sex and the baby was a beer. Blech.

I've actually had it on two other occasions. Was just surprised to see Alchemist stocked locally so I bought this and one of their other varieties.

I've always like Focal Banger better

There's a store in Stamford that sells these. Solid beer!

It's carried locally - will try it.

I bought one of those, too, but it's still in the fridge. I won't like it.

St. Pete Beach Blonde Ale.

It's beer. Tastes like beer. Comes in a six pack of 16 ounce cans which is nice when four isn't enough and eight is gluttony.

Basically the only beer available at the liquor store nearby.

Pregaming with yard work. NEBCO fuels the muscles.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Stopped by Mayflower in Plymouth, MA yesterday. This was the Nitro Vanilla Porter. Also tried the Oyster Stout, which was excellent.

 

[NEONDOHA]

Pre-gaming with a solid New Mexico Hazy

 

[Kolumbo]

there is so much effed up in this video. a vending machine. $18.25 for an ultra. 9.75 sales tax. It is a 25 ouncer though

$1.78 sales tax. I get the whole "this will eliminate jobs" stuff, but it's not like selling a canned beverage via machine is a new idea. Probably cuts down the lines and nobody is expecting a $2 tip on a $20 beer.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Affligem Blond. Always a tasty pour.

I too drank this during UConn-Duke. It's a great red.

My UConn tourney mojo is drinking only Connecticut beers during their games. I drove an hour to Tox last night and bought a case to get me through the weekend.

 

[AreBee1969]

Anyone ever tried Luppoleto Brewing in South Windsor?

They are taking over the space that Almost Famous was in.

Windsor Locks' Luppoleto Brewing to take over Almost Famous Brewing Company location

An IIPA at Caius Farm with Nelson, Nelson cryo, Nectaron and Wai-ti hops. "Tropics of The Nile." A collab with Pivotal Brewing Company.

Incredible, tropical goodness.

 

[Dove]

Weldwerks on tap never disappoints. Comomango, then The Barrelhouse.

 

[NEONDOHA]

Pre-game sedative (10.8 % ABV) from Elevation in Salida, CO.

 

[AreBee1969]

CT beer mojo for the game.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Pre game last night. Tilted Barn Little Field

 

[Fishy]

No can because it was on draught.

Mango Cart Wheat Ale, by Golden Road Brewing. (Basically AB)

It was actually pretty good - nice summer beer. Had it at Nokomo’s Sunset Hut somewhere in Florida. Good place for drinks on the water - food is meh. Their tacos are okay, but the entrees are absolutely bizarre. I had some kinda Caribbean shrimp with beans and rice that they dumped half a bag of tortilla chips onto.

Assume you mean the Polish store across from Newfield Green? My go-to for importer Polish lagers.

 

[karstenkibbe]

@Dove is flat out wrong. No one, and I mean no one, in Connecticut makes even decent pastry stouts on a level close to Treehouse. BUT Fox Farm’s barrel aged stouts are absolutely on par (arguably better) with Treehouse’s BA offerings.

 

[karstenkibbe]

Exceptional and crushable. As usual.

 

[karstenkibbe]

I think this is my last can. Need to scour the back of the beer fridge to see if I have another. @Fishy is right. It’s the best dry Irish stout I’ve had in years. Only 4.4%.

 

[upstater]

Went back to Caius Farm in Branford for a 3rd try of their beers and they are all stellar. Probably have drank 10 beers from them at this point and they were among the best beers I ever had. I particularly appreciate that they can do all sorts of Non-IPAs well from Farm Ales to Porters to Stouts to Pilsners and Lagers. They do not seem to have much interest in Belgian Ales and they do focus on IPAs, but all around, you can get some tremendous beers. I'd put their Pilsners and Lagers up against Singlecut which makes some of the best I've ever had.

Caius is finally canning their beer.

All winter they were low on IPS on the board. Just started to crank some out. The new 18% stout....oooooooo.

The new IIPA is phenomenal. But not the $22 price on the 4-packs.
