Headed to VT this weekend...

Tribute is good but no where near the big boys but youre right about the maple breakfast stout...lol

 

Last week, a few of us did a blind tasting with about 25 from across the nation. almost everything out there out there, and tribute was clocking in up top just below second fiddle, sos, and pliny. it was surprising.

 

I had it the very 1st day it was released in Waterbury (December 17th I think) so it could have gotten better. It was very good just not Heady, SOS good. I dont think Pliny is in that category either.........but I will drink it if I have too. LOL

 

Agreed. Tribute was fine. Not in the ballpark of Heady Topper, Second Fiddle or either of the Foley Bros. DIPAs. Hops leaned too much to the pine resin flavor profile for me. As for Pliny the Elder, I don't get it. I had a fresh one again last week, and had a Limbo shortly after and Limbo was straight up better.

I'm headed to CA next week, I'll try to drink a Pliny that hasn't traveled and re-evaluate.

 

I think Tribute is real close to the big guys. And seeing as I can now get it 10 miles from my house anytime, no limits or lines, for now, it works out well for me!!!

 

Trying to get a Father's Day gift for a special person. Just looking to get one can of heady topper. Can pay for shipping etc. please message me if you can help and/or know where I can turn and or what to trade. I am in Atlanta and this is the first time I've done this so not sure what to do! Saw that you were going there this weekend! This would be an awesome thing if someone can help me pull it off!

 

a business closing in Vermont? Unheard of!

 

Yeah, the status of retail establishments tends to be pretty fluid up there! Still, it was a good market and I would have thought Heady paid some bills.
