Does troon packing normally look like that? Reminded me of trve

 

they switch up the label every few months or so, none of the previous ones have looked like this though.

 

That beer was so god damn good.

 

Drinking Heady Topper for the first time

 

Night Shift is finally coming to New Hampshire, can’t wait.

 

Omg please be true

 

My buddy who brews in the taproom said he made a pilot batch a couple months back but that he cannot confirm or deny if it was getting distro/scaled up because they don’t ever tell him that.

 

Had this earlier

 

Anyone ever use Tavour before? Giving it a shot

 

I had a sample of it a few months ago and it was great. Galaxy hopped with centennial so it’s not exactly baby sibling to Two Hearted but it was fuckin tasty.

 

I have had 2-3 shipments, the biggest thing that keeps me away is just the price of shipment honestly. The discount codes help every so often, but I just can't justify the price of filling a box and shipping it for the most part

 

I’m physically ill that I can’t make it out there tomorrow for this

 

I’m bummed I can’t make it either. If they’re still around when I’m back in the city Monday I’ll hit you up

Arizona Wilderness is hit or miss for me. Wren House makes some really great stuff but again, just depends what they are bringing. Their Big Spill Pils is probably their most popular around here. Parish has some really nice stuff.

 

LOVE Bissell Brothers. Great brewery out of Portland, ME

 

J Wakefield for stouts and sours. All pretty good stuff.

 

This is a really solid lineup but these are the highlights of the ones you've never had:

J. Wakefield #1 overall, a top five stout-maker in the country no question
Bissell (phenomenal IPAs)
Homage
Parish

Also, Magnify is pretty good. They're from Jersey. Not on the same level as those other four by any means but they're a solid little brewery.

 

Awesommeeeeee, this is all very useful

 

honestly getting a ticket to this thing should be a no-brainer if only because of how many insanely good places are in the lineup, between ones you've had and ones you haven't lol

 

Some of the best NEIPAs I've ever had. They also came down to Brooklyn and did a two-beer collab with Other Half last year which were both incredible.

 

Yeah I'm going, the only reason it's a maybe is that my wife and I have to cancel two other plans that day (whoops). But the festival is like, 20 min from my place, down by the ocean, it's a no-brainer.
