ACBF 2014 - What's on your list?

Hey guys
I'm coming down from canada for the fest and am not that familiar with some of the smaller mass/ Vermont breweries. If anyone can suggest some must trys that would be awesome. Thanks.

 

you need to state your style preference before anyone is going to step in. All beers have links and the point if ACBF is to be open minded. We really enjoyed beers from some brewpub no one recommended last summer and it turned our well.

 

Thanks. I tried a bit of everything last year and found some hidden gems. I'm a big fan of IPAs, Berlinger weisse, any sour and looking to try some great Saisons.

 

check my post above for the breweries bringing sours and berlinerweisses.
also, the original post has soem IPA recommendations. too add to those, i can whole-heartedly recommend (without getting into a litany) Gubna from Oskar Blues. its an impeccable ale.

 

Todd, Is Trillium going to return this year?

 

Sorry, I should have read all the posts, my question is answered.

 

so many breweries from Mass. A great opportunity to sample these offerings with out having to drive all over creation to do so.

 

I noticed that Franklin's General Store/Brewery from MD is not listed. In years past, I thought they had a nice selection at ACBF. Could you please confirm?

 

Those guys were at EBF, and had a heck of a selection there.
Really impressive lineup.

We were thinking about releasing a spreadsheet for everyone if we have the time, but I'm not sure if we will.

I saw the comment about a google doc spreadsheet listing all the ACBF beers along with their ratings and booth locations, and wondered if this would be available before next weekend. I used one created by another member last year and it was extremely helpful in planning out my drinking

 

where are the brochures currently around Boston, I would love to grab a copy to start premature highlighting etc.

 

I found some in Liquor Land, Mass ave South Boston Today very informative! Already marking down my must tastes.
