Beer shop finds.

Started recently - last few weeks. Just been a couple of theirs so far. OTWOA and Corruption I think.

 

I'm in DC fairly often and I never see Wings on the coolers/shelves there. It's really weird.

 

Started recently with cans dated 11/17 - Was an old favorite/wanted to revisit, but passed

 

Not that recently. I picked up mine at a place in Arlington a few days before Christmas.

 

Haven't had it in 4/5 years, and certainly wasn't going to revisit on the given circumstances/proper justification. Nonetheless, faded memory recalls on bitter grapefruit, pine, mango, and candid-caramel malt elements. A clean, transparent IPA yet grainy, resinous, and crisp

Just not sure if the store is to blame or the supplier: delved in a little further via the website which still states "COMING SOON!". So, if distro is fairly recent then why supply the dated goods

 

12 packs of Sierra Nevada on sale for $12.99 this week @ Market Basket (NH only) - including the delicious new Bullet DIPA. Great deal for that beer.

 

It’s been awhile since my last Captain’s Daughter purchase - Feb cans state Citra and Mosaic; is that new? Thought it was all Mosaic.

 

nah, it's always been citra and mosaic.

 

Tried some new brewery" East by Northwest" out of Scituate. The Ipa was piney and hoppy, a nice refreshing change.

 

Gunner's Daughter at CBC Framingham (which has become my favorite bottle shop) earlier. They still had some Bolero Snort & Burial stuff as well. Also grabbed some more Commonwealth Brewing cans.

 

Untold makes some solid beer. Grab their Brown if you see it.

 

‘Nillionaire, new Clown Shoes barleywine aged in rum barrels with vanilla, appears to have dropped. Redstone Stoneham tweeted they’ve got it.

 

Enjoy it while it lasts. I like it too but it’s an absolute ghost town in there.

 

Speaking of CBC, was at the Newton store and picked up a bottle of Honest Weight, “A Pattern Language”. Lacto/brett fermented farmhouse, barrel aged with plums. Really excellent stuff, not outrageously priced for what it is. Keep an eye out for Honest Weight, there’s a decent amount of their bottles out there and a lot of them have been real gems.

 

I like that store, but it's hard to go there when Crafted is closer, even with me being in Framingham pretty often.

 

Looks like another drop of Melvin has hit stores - IPA, MPA, Citradamus is what I’ve seen - canned on 1/31 or the first week of February. Excellent!

 

It's a miserable location (CBC) which, not to get too far off topic, is a reminder that the suburbs are the worst of all possible worlds.

 

The Sam Adams NEIPA ain't half bad, especially for under $10 a 4 pack

 

That area of rt. 9 / Downtown Framingham is pure hell.
