Maplewood (2020)

Big Pulpy is magnificent. A wonderful example of the "New England" style IPA; fruity, a bit sweet with a hint of dryness on the finish. Wish I'd grabbed more than one!!

 

I had it on tap at Beer Temple and really enjoyed it. I also thought it was the rare beer that might be better out of the can. Don't know fully why, but I think it wasn't as creamy as some NEIPA's, which is to me where fresh draft versions shine over cans.

Very good either way!

 

Anybody feel that the Pulaski Pils is better than the Cashmere Pulaski? I'm leaning towards that direction.

 

I liked the cashmere version. But I love Pulaski.
Just depends if you like traditional german style beers or not. I’d say cashmere version is a good gateway, while Pulaski is for the purists.

 

I didn’t even think about the play on words until you wrote it.

 

Cuppaccino will make my year end list. First Cuppa that really knocked my socks off. One of the best adjunct stouts I have had in a long time. Huge chocolate flavor with some sweetness and super rich mouthfeel.

 

Son of Shakey (vanilla milkshake IPA) is available for pickup on the website now.

 

Thoughts on Son of Shakey?

 

I loved it. Probably the best vanilla character I have had in an IPA. It has the aroma,flavor, and creaminess I recognize from an actual vanilla milkshake

 

Just had a Mr. Shakey Tangerine (my first time having one of their Shakey beers). It's very good. I'm not big on milkshake IPA's because of the ones I've tried, the lactose/vanilla/milk sugar and fruit tend to be overpowering to the point where it doesn't even feel like you're drinking a beer. This is actually balanced really well and it still tastes like an IPA rather than some weird beermosa cocktail thing.

 

Really loving the Sabro Transit Authority. I was on the fence about the hop but really glad I got a four pack. Getting a great tropical vibe from this one. Lots of coconut.

 

Available for pre order now

 

Very very very high hopes for this beer. Maple cinnamon was a bit of a let down for me as there was just wayyyy too much cinnamon spice to it. Hopefully this will blow me away again similar to cuppa stufff

 

I placed my order at 10:02 pm last night and I think around 10:50pm it was gone.

 

Emails went out for pickup window times.

 

Am I crazy or did maple cinnamon sell out in a matter of about an hour? I was surprised Neapolitan lasted til 11

 

Was it up for sale that late in the day? I thought it was a little odd to put them on sale starting at, what I think was, around 7.
