Last time I went in for a bottle and walked out with two four packs, a vanilla milkshake t shirt, and a hat with their T logo. Smart? No. Worth it? Absolutely.

 

That just sounds like smart shopping to me

 

Good beer for some grilling

 

Stoneface is so underappreciated.

 

Also, went to Indiana last week and toured Upland's Wood Shop which I would definitely recommend (although you'd be better off just sitting at their bar because most of what you taste on the tour is unfinished, which is extremely cool but also extremely not great bc unfinished). I also tried 3Floyds Gumballhead at a restaurant at @OhTheWater recommendation in here and it was good.

 

Aside from Gumballhead, I highly recommend Alpha King, Rabbid Rabbit and Zombie Dust from 3Floyds.

 

Hell yeah! I wish I could find Zombie Dust

 

I love them. I definitely take them for granted since they’re 15 minutes from where I live but I also have this NH pride about them haha. Their Russian imperial stout is one of the better beers I’ve had in that style.

 

Where do you get this place’s beers from?

 

The Craft Beer Outlet at Franklin Mills has had cases of Gumballhead

 

Of course they drop this the day after I go of course!!!!!!

 

Extra Vanilla is now on Dudley Direct, if anyone in Pa wants to spend a ton of money on it

 

that's a pretty rad service though. how much do they charge for shipping usually?

 

It was over $100 for 4-4packs

 

$25 per four pack is not much of a mark up over what breweries sell them for.

 

yeah, if that includes shipping it's a pretty decent deal

 

change of plans for the weekend means I'll get to Grimm on Saturday to get Lilt and Splish

 

It’s a sick release day. I am already cellaring a previous batch of Lily. Think I’ll wait (and hope) for Splish to make it to the Shop @ Threes.

Meanwhile, I need to begin drinking more of the Other Half, Suarez and Treehouse currently in my fridge. Good problem to have.

 

Someone send me Suarez and I’ll send you moneyyyy.

 

Barrel + Beam is the best brewery in Michigan imo. Have three of their newer releases in my fridge and I can’t wait to get into them.

 

yeah, I'm pretty excited. I've been going there almost way too frequently now that I have a growler. it's too easy to stop in after work to have a few and get a refill, my wallet hates it.

 

It’s so worth the trip next time you’re anywhere even remotely within driving distance. Like literally if you’re ever anywhere in NY or CT. It’s a really special place. I live around 2.5 hours from there so it’s not something I can do often but it’s worth it every time.

 

I absolutely would for sure. My girlfriend and I are talking a Niagara Falls trip at some point and also a New England trip at some point. So I know I would hit up Suarez almost regardless of how far it would be.

 

Can't recommend enough. Beautiful part of the Hudson Valley. I find it funny that many of the people who go crazy for Hudson Valley Brewing don't realize its about an hour north of there.

 

Also if anyone in the NYC metro area would be down to organize a bottle share, I would be down.
