Spekulatius Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Live in NYC so its extremely hard to get heady topper. Local shop got 1 case this week. was lucky enough to be there when it got dropped off. where in NYC? I live in Burlington, VT. I remember the days when people (myself included) would line up for an hour or more to get it. Now, it's available at every supermarket, gas station, corner store, etc. here. I still grab some every once in a while, but there are so many other amazing IPAs here in VT. CT/ Burlington has some good stuff to drink. We recently stopped by at von Trapp in Stowe and Vermont Artisan Coffee and I loved Citizen Cider in Burlington when we visited a few month ago. Would be nice to meet for a cold one when this pandemics crab blows over. The sweet sound of music. They also make really good cheese if your interested. https://www.jasperhillfarm.com/von-trapp-farmstead I am a big Cheesehead so I will give it a try. We are again in this area again ( Conway, NH this time). Tonite, We are going to the Moat Mountain brewpub.
D33pV4lue Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Second Fiddle by Fiddlehead. Last year I bought sommelier beer glasses from the Alchemist and its been a great investment. Drinking good beer from the can doesn't do its justice. It really brings out the aromas and overall gives a totally different (better) experience to drinking beer. Highly recommend purchasing a good set of sommelier beer glasses if you don't already have them.
rkbabang Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 I was at a neighbors house the other day and he gave me a Second Hand Brewing Co. Milk Stout. Excellent. I told him that he ruined Guinness for me forever. Definitely the best stout I've ever had.

The former makes me think about Cousin Eddie's beer in Vacation. "You look like like you could use a cold one!" Eddy says, handing his half-drunk beer to Clark as he cracks open a fresh one for himself.

I wouldn't want to drink second-hand beer, they all look and taste like Bud Light at that point.

Gregmal Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 Got some Firestone Nitro Merlin Stout. Also tried Dragon's Milk White. Both good, but aint no Natty Light.
LC Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 Some Greco di tufo, nice value southern Italian white. Great in a chilled glass.
LC Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 And at the end of the night, Leopold bro’s alpine liquor, over about 4 cubes
Castanza Posted September 4, 2020 Author Posted September 4, 2020 Hala Kahiki Brewing Co. Pineapple Ale It's 5 o'clock somewhere right? Growing up, my Dad thought it was funny to take Labor Day and interpret it literally for my brother and me (man we hated that ;D). Ironically I plan to carry that tradition on this weekend and plant a few acres of alfalfa for the deer. Enjoy your weekends 8)
Castanza Posted October 17, 2020 Author Posted October 17, 2020 Any must try Oktoberfest brew recommendations?
Spekulatius Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Any must try Oktoberfest brew recommendations? Van Trapp from VT if you can get it. Sierra Nevada also has an Octoberfest that’s pretty good. I do drink the Sam Adams Octoberfest which is easy to get where I live. From the German Oktoberfest beers, I prefer the Hacker-Pschorr and the Löwenbräu, but they are much harder to get.
Gregmal Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Yea as mundane as it sounds in the world of craft beers, Sam Adams Octoberfest is pretty reliably awesome. Like Spaten Oktoberfest as well.

The Wegmans near my house has a pretty good German selection; I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Definitely agree on the Sam Adams. I would have to recommend Breckenridge Oktoberfest.
Spekulatius Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Spek - did you try the Von Trapp Cheese? No. I did not. I am a cheese lover, so I suspect I missed something.
boilermaker75 Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 "Well I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer," The Doors. Morrison was singing about Tecate, not Founders Breakfast Stout. But if you like stouts I think you will find this one superb. Everything I have had from Founders Brewing has been superb.
Gregmal Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 Royal Salute 21. Easily exceeded relatively high expectations.
boilermaker75 Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 Royal Salute 21. Easily exceeded relatively high expectations. I consider paying $12 for a four-pack of Founders Breakfast Stout a splurge! With my taste buds, I think I would not appreciate the Royal Salute 21. Have you ever tried Pappy Van Winkle?
