What Northeast beer are you drinking now? (2021)

Finally, a VT beer. It is very bready and fruity, which works surprisingly well together.

 

A beer’s a beer. I drank it. It wasn’t bad, per se, just didn’t seem to fit the style they were looking to actually do. I appreciate you giving it to me.

 

This one's great.

 

Camping at Nickerson State Park on the Cape, with the Mrs and the dog. Beautiful day, beautiful beer!

 

SFB - Hecto

Very tasty.

 

YES F— YES!

 

I drank a lot of that beer.

 

Might be my favorite NEIPA made in New England. At least in contention for it. Rarely get my hands on it but I say the same thing anytime I've had it.

 

This is such a great unique beer. Like everything Alchemist, it's in its own category of beer.

 

Some local beers again after a trip to South Carolina and drinking a lot of beers brought back from there.

Stickman Brews' (Royersford, PA) Black Lager

 

Killing time with a Rotunda Brewing Double Cowlick IPA.

 

This is nice after a very long work day. Kia Ora NZ IPA from Spyglass.

 

Missed this year's version, but on the shortlist of my favorite beers of 2020. Non-mixed culture saisons feel a bit out of popular favor these days, but this beer is a good reminder of why that's a mistake. And while Heady alone ensures Alchemist will never not be on the New England (if not US) beer Mount Rushmore, their offerings beyond HT and FB seem to miss out on almost all the online hype (though admittedly they do quietly sell out fast). They're still a heavy hitter in my book.

 

Drinking a Tonewood Lawn Boi pilsner right now. My first Tonewood and man this thing is gee are ee aye tee GREAT! I could drink these all summer...all fall...all winter...all spring. Hope I get a chance to grab more at Liquor Outlet tomorrow! Will have to grab other Tonewoods if available.
I know they get a lot of love in the NJ thread, more people need to know about Lawn Boi. It's really fantastic.

 

They had several Belgian beers for weeks, but of course, everything was sold out before I got a chance to get there. I'm glad I got a four-pack of Zomerbier yesterday, it is already gone too. As much as HT and FB are great, I'm more interested in their non-IPA beers, but they don't make them often anymore.

 

Vacation starts tomorrow so why not something a little more substantial. Trillium BA Coconut Cake.

 

One more Delaware beer for the thread to send the state off to the South forum....

 

More Trillium, last Really Big Bird in the fridge. This is a ‘don’t have to work tomorrow’ fridge cleaner pour. Still a little green, needs more time…

 

I have hazy (pun intended?) memories of having a chance to try this randomly at Sebasco Harbor and was impressed. Will have to try and find this one again!
