Haven’t tried naturdays yet but want to. Wish I would’ve jumped on Labatt citra, too when it was fresh.

 

Citra's are very good, I was genuinely surprised by them.

 

Need to try those. I've always had a thing for Labatt and have loved them forever but it's been too long now

 

Glad AB has a decent beer for the summer. Not a fan of BLight Orange or the Copper lager. We’re coming out with some new Elysian this summer I’m excited to try tho.

 

Tree House out here just posting straight up porn on social media.

 

I might like their stouts more than their IPA's at this point

 

damnnn maybe I should hit up treehouse after work

 

Ok I really like this beer. It's hoppy, citrusy and the slightest bit sweet! Plus cats!

 

Don’t think I’ve ever had a bad beer with Idaho 7.

 

These first 4-5 descriptions are completely WTF. Anyone have experience with Omnipollo or Decadant? I know they are both known for being ridiculous

 

@bigmike

 

tbh i really like decadent and omnipollo, in my experience they do usually capture the all over the wild flavors they claim to but sometimes they can be overwhelmingly sweet if that's not what you want

i had this one the other day with some of my friends and we all like, audibly gasped at the first sip because of how much it tasted exactly like blueberry pancakes

We just started using it last summer at our brewery and I like it a lot. I think it’s better complimentary and not on its own, but damn it’s good.

 

Hey I had a mimosa brut inspired ipa that was gimmicky as fuck and if it were carbonated higher I would’ve given it a 5. I’m not a wet blanket all the time!

 

I legitimately did a double take when I saw that check in earlier.

 

Beer became almost still after 10 minutes in the glass but everything else was spot on for a beer that calls itself a mimosa ipa.

(Though I still would argue that it is not, in fact, an ipa.)

 

Going brewery hopping in Evanston, IL tomorrow: Smylie Brothers, Temperance, and Sketchbook... then recording a podcast. It's sure to be a mess.

 

Great article about Half Acre's Daisy Cutter. I can say that I moved to Chicago after college in 2008 when craft beer really started to boom here and DC is a huge part of that.

Finally got to Hill Farmstead today. Had a couple of their beers brought back to Jersey from VT before, but first time up here. Man, that place totally earns its reputation. Tried a few different beers at the taproom and bought three bottles to take home. Loved it.

 

Starting our day in Burlington at Foam. This place is so sick.

 

I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. Need to try and get there soon

 

Foam has been killing it for awhile now. Probably the best spot in Burlington.

 

Yeah I’ve had beer from there before (Experimental Jet Set) but this was my first time there. Bought two 4-packs of releases they put out today, Grounds for Divorce and Bonus Track: 8.

 

At Burlington Beer Company now. Beer and food here is excellent.

 

On our way back to Jersey, stopped at Suarez Family Brewery in NY. What a way to end the weekend.
