Suggest A Beer From Your State

Love both of those! In fact, Oberon was the first MI beer I ever had, although that was (checks calendar) 25?!?!? years ago. Damn, I feel old.

 

Anything barrel aged from Central Waters.

 

From Minnesota - Barrel Theory Rain Drops, its their Flagship IPA and consistently good.

 

Easy. Yellow Rose IPA

 

Such a difficult question. From the Hudson Valley, and now in the Finger Lakes region. First answer would be Industrial Arts Wrench. Consistently good, and a not too high ABV. In the Finger Lakes, I would say Prison City DDH Mass Riot. Also great, and reasonable ABV. For an easy drinker, I would go for Newburgh Cream Ale. Great representation of the style, and never gets enough love, imo. Cheers

 

How about Province?!

I’m going to recommend a fairly new one. Godspeed Sklepník. It’s great.

 

I have had RI beers that are better to my particular tastes, but Captain's Daughter seems to be a crowd pleaser and maybe more importantly is a FLAGSHIP that is always available in stores, bars, etc. There are other "ticker"-worthy beers locally but are not always available.

As a backup and if someone was looking for a lower ABV, I would probably nominate one of Whaler's Brewing Rise or Proclamation Ale's Derivative pale ale.

I might consider that a little bit of a cheat, since the majority if not all of the Lager is made in upstate NY and not in RI.

 

Whalers is a good call too.

 

Yeah I was wondering when they built the new brewery did they even try to get one that would be big enough capacity to brew the lager or did they not even try to. Im guessing the latter sad to say.

 

It would take a good amount of real estate, and they probably maximized the undervalued land and buildings they could get with the Guild brewery in Pawtucket. If they want actual prime locations like India Point, 'Gansett will need to maximize profits from on premise service and space for brewing will be limited. Then new owners have been at it for a little while now, so maybe eventually the cash flow will be such that they can undertake a large production brewery to keep the Lager local. As it is, I believe all their seasonals and one-offs are made in Pawtucket.

 

Devil’s Backbone Vienna Lager

 

Fair State Pilsner

 

I would have chosen Fat Tire until pretty recently. At the moment, I guess Odell IPA would probably be a good choice. La Folie maybe, too?

 

Yup

 

Excellent choices!

 

Big Island Brewhaus White Mountain Porter from Hawaii. From their website "Mountainous & smooth toasted coconut and coffee aromas are followed by hints of rich, silky chocolate and dark malt. Brewed with hand-toasted coconut and White Mountain Hamakua estate coffee."

 

If I had to pick one, Ralphius. Back in the day it would have been Hop Devil.

 

That's 1 I'd happily drink anytime. Haven't seen any lately unfortunately. I'm on the look out tho.

 

La Cumbre Elevated IPA
