Headed to Casanovas for the first time

I haven't seen DFH 60 there. If they have DFH Burton Baton, grab it. Smuttynose and Alesmith are always good choices.

 

Load up with as much Moon Man as you can carry. Ale Asylum has some solid offerings. The Bedlam is highly recommended. I never tend to buy it, but you can get some Bruery beers there. Also, there is currently a Groupon for the Nova restaurant. You should go there anyway to drink beers.

Finally, don't miss the Stone Tap in Hudson. Really just a few blocks away and great beer offerings. They also fill growlers, have great food, and a friendly staff.

 

Umm, Toppling Goliath? Okay, all the good stuff is likely to be growlers only. But it is, in my opinion (and that of many others), some of the best beer on the planet right now.

Also, you might luck into some Three Floyds. Darn near everything they make is awesome. Same is true for New Glarus, and there ought to be lots of that.

 

Their IPA is decent and Speedway Stout is a must if they have it.

 

They sometimes have 3 Fonteinen which is always good to pick up. Didn't see any the last time but keep your eyes open. As mentioned the Alesmith beers like Speedway are a great buy. They sometimes have Three Floyds. Don't limit yourself to Casanovas. MANY times when something is sold out at Casanovas, Chicones or other liquor stores have things. I usually hit the other stores and then go to Casinovas last cause they sometimes are more pricey than say the liquor store on the main street in downtown Hudson that is in the mall that has the New Glarus bombers for a dollar cheaper and has one of the bombers not available at the other stores mentioned as they are sold out (Strawberry Ruebarb) and are not brewing currently. They don't get hit as hard so some things are older but you can find some decent things there. Don't limit yourself to just one store or you will miss out.

Casanovas does have the best selection, staff help, and growlers if you are going to just hit one store though. Nobody in Hudson gets Topping Goliath in Hudson that I am aware of.

 

Pseudo Sue and Zeelander for sure if they have them. Cheaper growler fills at the Nova than at the brewery, can't beat that!

 

They fill other breweries glass growlers, so bring them to save yourself $8 by not having to buy their growler.

 

They have PseudoSue, Golden Nugget and Zeelander on tap for growler fills right now. All of those are must try beers.

You will not, follow TG or Nova on FB or Twitter and they usually tweet out when they get bottles of TG in. Like others have said, bring some Growlers and get Sue, Zee and Nugget.

 

SOSUS hasn't made its way to Casanova's for quite a while. The last batch of bottles was brewery only.

 

Remember when those growler fills fpor TG were 8.99 or was it 9.99 All the hype must have inflated the prices they are asking

 

You can also get Hoppin Frog. Hop Dam

 

Steel Toe's Sommer Vice is not too bad. Head over to Harriet when they have their Wodan Weizen on tap - great beer.
