    Picked up a couple cans of Klara from Idle Hands at CBC Newton when I was in the area. Only other time I’ve tried this style (Dortmunder-Style Lager) was in Ohio - Great Lakes makes a real tasty version. Love seeing these hometown fellas pumping out lagers. Great complement to JA’s offerings. The rich get richer in MA.

    I grabbed Notch Slanted and Enchanted the other day. I don't say this often or ever about Notch beers but it's not good Not sure if it's the grungeist hop addition or what but it has a very odd peppery almost wilted vegetable smell to it. Leaves an odd aftertaste as well.

    Excited to have Notch 16oz/6packs around but I'll leave this one be.

    Picked up Seirra Snowpack a few days ago

    Love the coffee Stout and Holiday Haze is good for being 3 months old.

    This has been the general consensus for S&E. It's a completely different (better) beer in the taproom brewed on the small system compared to Von Trapp version.

    Zwickle is very good.

    Is that Kehl? Had that one at Night Shift maybe a year or so ago and was blown away. Changed my impression of zwickel beers to be honest.

    I haven't. I've heard good things but don't support Night Shift. I'll have to wait on Notch.

    Not sure if it’s out of your way, but Notch instagram posted a large display of it today at Pemberton in Cambridge.

    I've hashed it out before here but some very poor experiences turned me sour on them. Nothing I need to get into again. It's in the past I just don't give them my money any more.

    Was it that they released something you thought was "off" ? I think I remember seeing it here

    It was bunch of stuff. Beers, unaddressed issues I brought to their attention, and a handful barrel society issues that we're never resolved to satisfaction. Just turned me off. Tons of places I feel better putting my money.

    I grabbed Petrus Sour Blueberry, and Petrus Sour Raspberry at TJs. They were both made for Trader Joe's and are Petrus Pale aged for 24 months with fresh blueberries or raspberries.

    I had the blueberry last night and thought it was great. Awesome balance, bright with a bit of funk, blueberry all the way through. A steal for $8. Can't wait to try the raspberry.
