Styles You Want To Make A Comeback

I’d like to see Bluebird and Bateman’s back on the shelf, other than that I can’t think of anything that’s gone that I miss. I don’t like Black Ipas for the most part, but there’s still a few local that on the shelf and fresh.

 

Thanks..

 

Westbrook has a bigger footprint these days, their hoppy beers use Rye.

 

Permit me to recommend the Von Trapp Dunkel to you.

Cheers!

Definitely!

Also, on the import side the Hofbrau Freising is really great as well, if you can find it. I'd take it over the Munich Hofbrau, though I enjoy both.

 

I would add: if you can find it fresh. So far the only drop I have seen of this beer was from last year (2018) and those beers are dusty now.

I did enjoy the one I drank earlier this year:

Another vote for Black IPA/American Black Ale. 21st Amendment Back in Black was my go to for several of my early drinking years.

 

Really fresh Stone SSR was really a great beer, you got a bit of roasted with grapefruit. I thought it was singularly unique as a Black IPA.

 

I use to love Stones Enjoy by Black IPAs, Self Righteous and Iron Lady by WW

 

I wish schwarzbiers, rauchbiers, brown ales, and flanders oud bruins would become more popular. I guess black ipa’s and Belgian dibbled & triples were already popular, so bring those back.

 

BOTTLE KING in Somerset has the Bock!

 

Wee Heavy

 

Yeah, Von Trapp is one of many brewers (Dogfish Head, Bells, Troegs, Founders, Lagunitas, Sixpoint, Cigar City/Oskar Blues, etc) distributed by Hunterdon - seems like if they have the stock any good NJ retailer should be able to order it. I know that's why my local carried VT (unfortunately, it looked like I was the only one buying them - the Pils and the Vienna). The Bock was the only VT cans I've seen but hoping that will change soon.

 

Oatmeal Stouts,
English styles - bitters, extra bitter, pale, etc.
Scottish Shilling-series.
Really well done Pilsners.
Brown ales.

Imperial -barrel-fruit-coffee-etc aged, or quintuple IPAs are good and all, but sometimes I want something I can have a few of without having to call a designated driver.

 

English Pales
Schwartzbiers
Dunkels

 

Years ago BA Chub was on tap in Greensboro, and that was a great beer.

 

We just started getting distro from VT in Rochester. Literally just drank my first (dunkel) less than a week ago. That’s what reminded me to post that!

 

We get Westbrook and I love one claw but it’s rarely on shelves and if it is, it’s not fresh. Now it’s all the gose variations. Used to be the opposite a few years ago.

 

Out of area beers seem to share that problem. Of all the hoppy beers One Claw is my favorite, just a simple snappy PA.

 

Table Beer/Small Beer. But ones actually modest in alcohol, not a 4.8% ABV (I'm looking at you, Allagash). Smuttynose had one I really liked, but I can't find it anymore.
