Anyone else burnt out on IPAs? Every brewery in CT has five IPAs and four DIPAs on tap. Every bar has 75% of their taps devoted to the two.

I'm drinking nothing but browns, stouts and porters right now. I had Black Widow Imperial Stout at Tox in New London and it was downright beautiful. I found a bottle of Mean Old Tom at Capital Spirits on Pratt St. in Hartford yesterday and took it into the Tobacco Shop next door and enjoyed it with a great cigar.

Others I'm enjoying: McChouffe Belgian Brown Ale by Brewery La Chouffe, Deep Imperial Stout by Thimble Island, New Phone Who Dis? Porter from Evil Genius Beer Co. and Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout by North Coast Brewing.

I find a yearly hiatus from IPAs for a couple of weeks will help this tremendously.

Alright, I'm headed to the game Sunday. What beers do they sell at the XL? Last time I was there I remember Lil' Heaven being on tap but I can't remember much else.

If the worst they have is that, you're all set.

They usually have Counterweight on tap at one of the endzone bars (the one on the left if your back is to the court). The beer coolers behind 106 have Counterweight and No Filter in cans. Too Juicy is also readily available.

At one of the local breweries near me.

Were you hanging out there all afternoon hoping to run into Christina "Stanka Butt" Hope?

Also, least you could've done was add DH or CV to the list ;)

I'm down in Austin. Visited two breweries. They don't do NEIPA style well or often here but the breweries are fun and pretty good.

New brewery opened in my town and it is just ok. I hope they will keep getting better. Another new brewery opens this summer. They are brewing now and sharing the beer with very good reviews.

I've been seeing Lone Pine Oh-J in the coolers lately. And I had a couple of Founders Epiphany last night. So Portland is making their way into the market more and more.

I’m burnt out on the people who are burnt out over the people who have burnt out because I know those people are about to burn out themselves and that will cause the group who burnt out first to burn out again over the people who used to be burnt out over their burn out.

Everyone just drink water for a while. It’s better for you.

Non-alcoholic sales are killing it between Lagunitas Hop Water and Athletic.

I absolutely believe that.

My brother in law doesn’t drink - minor liver issue. Just feels better if he doesn’t drink alcohol.

I bought 0% beer for him at Christmas. I would not go so far as to call it good, but it was a vast improvement over what they used to be. Perfectly acceptable for what it was.

I’ve become a fan of the CBD seltzers you can get now. Long Trail even makes one. There’s a few varieties at Highland Park Market. Nice in the car after a long day.

Is the minor issue NAFLD?

Just finished my first Luscious, the British Imperial Stout from Alchemist. It looks like motor oil. It is at turns very sweet, but somehow finishes dry. When I first poured it I thought I would never finish it (NB: pour slow; it has a huge, late-reacting rise that will overflow your glass otherwise). But it seemed like it changed with every sip. I don't drink a lot of sweet stouts, but at first it reminded me of Mackeson's Triple Stout, which I haven't had in decades. But when the booze kicks in--double the ABV of Mackeson's--and it finishes dry, it's almost like a nice whiskey finish. Great mouthfeel. Kind of like a Russian Imperial Stout.

Three years later I am finishing the last can of Luscious from the four pack I bought on that trip. Just found it buried in my basement beer fridge, which does an amazing job of preserving beers I put in there and never move for literally years. This beer still tastes tremendous.
