Local beer that spoils you

I live in New England, so where do I start...

 

I was just in Irving and had Deep Ellum on tap, it was very solid.

 

It would have to be Victory for me. Growlers are half the cost of Tired Hands...

 

Hoptopus DIPA from Reaver Beach in Virginia Beach, VA

 

I traded for it about six months ago from a BA who lives in Iowa. What are the Florida batches? I've never seen any TG Beer in Florida.

 

They've been contract brewing through brewhub in Florida.

 

CCB has been doing the same thing and Jai Alai has suffered because of it. I had a thread about Jai Alai being too malty a couple months ago and someone in the thread explained they are using Brewhub for contract brewing.

 

so true, lately BA has been a trillium dick measuring contest. Anyway, that's off topic. I picked up the whole line of Grey Sail where I work, so when the distributor doesn't out of stock us, the captains daughter is always a pleasant sight in the beer cooler.

 

This place:



It's not one beer, so technically it doesn't qualify as the one local beer that spoils me. But I went Saturday for the first time, and now that I've finally been, I definitely feel spoiled to live within day-trip distance of such an awesome place. The landscape, atmosphere, connected restaurant, bottle shop and, of course, the beer are superb.

Cheers!

@Sixpoint -they have a good option for most styles i might be in the mood for, if i want a good pils, the crisp is a better choice then most IMO, if i want a nice, bold IPA, Resin is always there, if i want a hops but something on the easier side, Bengali is my go too, and well you get the idea

 

In southern NH, we have several great breweries that are often overlooked, FTB, 603, Kelson, White Birch. All make several styles and some damn great beers. No waiting in long lines, getting lottery tickets or chasing beer trucks, either. Well, FTB Lily IPA is harder to get. All the breweries are open on weekends for flight or growler fills, and most of the local grocery stores and craft stores carry their beers. If I had an ankle bracelet and couldn't travel more that 10 mi limit, I think I'd be just fine with the selection that's avail. Right now, I got the Jones's for some 603 Granite Stout!

 

love your avatar!

 

Hops and Grain in Austin, their Greenhouse IPA changes each month (hops used) and is always great.

 

I frequently go to Victory for "Taco Monday". Granted, not as alliteratively pleasing as taco Tuesday, but great tacos for $2 and brewpub-only Victory beers

 

I live in WI so I can get most of the BBA Central Waters beers without too much trouble and Scream IIPA may be the best DIPA the Midwest has to offer.

 

Somewhat local

 

Trillium and Night Shift.

 

I'll go with Trillium Pot & Kettle, PM Dawn, Night & Day and Coffee Pot & Kettle...

 

I live kind of in the middle between Revolution's brewpub and taproom. I also live close to the Beer Temple. There is no excuse for my fridge being left unstocked with excellent beer... well, when I drink a lot of it and don't restock..
