The Hill Farmstead shelfies — Anna, Florence, Arthur, etc. I’d still take a Samuel or Art or Flora over any of them, but for $12 they’re hard to beat, especially when they’re nearly always available.

This latest batch of Florence Puncheon is great, but at $18 for a 375ml, it’s 3x the cost per unit volume as regular Florence. And it’s not 3x better.

 

Agree with your original post about BAFPA. Also don’t forget about 4 packs of Crossfade. Super nice too.

 

I assume this question is directed towards NE region breweries only. If so, my favorite core brews are

Tired Hands Alien Church
Workhorse Brewing Vienna Lager
Yards Brewery Brawler
Yards Brewery Washington’s Porter

I’m sure there is more but those are my favorite core brews from the NE region.

 

Sly Fox Helles
Victory Dirtwolf
Cape May Coastal Evecuation
Sip of Sunshine
Kane Sneakbox
Kane head high
DAB Export

 

I have not seen this beer in many months. Do you think they will ever brew it again?

I have had many draft pints (lately via a Lukr side-pull faucet/tap) at Von C brewery this past summer. That beer is even better than the Workhorse brand for my palate.

Cheers!

 

Hope so. It was their best offering for sure! Not too excited for their latest offerings. Eventually, I’ll get over their to pick up the lageriversary (spelling?).

Haven’t been to Norristown yet. Do they can this brew? I’ve seen Von C at Kunda Bev but passed as I limited my self to octoberfest brews

I would add Forest and Main here but I have no idea what core brews they have.

 

Yes, they do can their Vienna Lager.

I would encourage you to visit the brewery to drink this beer since IMO the side-pull pour accentuates this beer style.

Cheers!

 

Sierra - Pale
Carton - Boat
Zero Gravity - Green State
Alternate Ending - Royal Rug
Wild East - Temperance

(yeah, I threw in a few non-Northeast beers...whatever. They're all classics and amazing).

 

Fiddlehead IPA
River Roost Mas Verde
Stoneface IPA
Hill Farmstead Susan
Tree House Green…
(sudden realization , I’m an IPA ****…)
Kettlehead The Agent
Tributary IPA
Jack’s Abby Framinghammer
Jack’s Abby House Lager…

Those are the things I buy over and over again, no questions asked.

[edit to add: I do not like the Substance. I don’t know why. It tastes like ditchweed to me. I love Swish and Reciprocal.]

 

HFB Edward
BBC Draymans Porter
CBC Flower Child
Zero Gravity Green State
Allagash White
Smuttynose Old Brown Dog
Cheers all

 

Can never argue with SNPA.
Others on the list would be Jack's Abby's HU,
Allagash white, Tripel and Curioux.
Ommegang Abbey, Tripel and Hennipin.
Harpoon IPA
And truth be told, if you can find Sam Adams Boston Lager fresh,. it's as good as any of the style.

 

von Trapp helles or kolsch. Lawson's Double Sunshine and Chinooker'd. And I'm not too proud to say Genny Cream Ale on a hot summer day.

 

Hey, mon - no shame in that!

 

Long Trail Ale by Long Trail Brewing Company.
It's an Altbier, a somewhat rare style.
I look at it as the Ale version of a Marzen, and I like Marzen.
Double Bag is even better, I think.
I don't see other Long Trail Beers very often, occasionally their IPAs show up.
Interesting topic, Cheers.

 

Don't think I've ever seen an Ommegang tripel. Only see one review for one on here.

 

The Helles, hell yeah. The Kolsch, I don't see it as a core Beer, I have been looking for that one and the Berliner Weisse in Rhody and southern Mass. with no luck.

 

Maybe thinking about Three Philosophers? Which is a confusing name for a quad.
