    Zyto, from Fox Farm.

    Loved everything they did this year, yet this still surprised me how much I liked it.

    I really liked that Ashlawn Coffee Stout from Fox Farm. And any non-IPA from Kent Falls does the trick for me. I was happy to see Counter Weight's pilsner and NEBCO bring back Elm City (too bad it didn't get distro).

    These. The BA witch meadow was pricey, but amazing.

    Yep.

    Also, the Fox Farm Blender series.

    Best new beer to me in 2017 was origin of species by relic brewing. It's a Boch. However, my go to non-IPAs in Connecticut that I had before 2017are granola brown, gbot, and back east porter.

    GBot is a DIPA. Think OP was including Pales, DIPAs and TIPAs as "IPAs". That said, OoS was a solid brew and real far from my strike zone.
