    And there you go. I really focus on local breweries and my eyes just pass over everything else. Might have seen Dale's Pale Ale on area shelves. 3 still isn't a lot of variety.

    To me, these are a few core bears that have stood the test of time and hype, including a few by a number of breweries that have also stood the test of time and hype:

    Ipswich Oatmeal Stout
    Dieu du Ciel Peche Mortel
    Mayflower Porter
    Berkshire Brewing Coffeehouse Porter
    Lawson's Sip of Sunshine
    Hill Farmstead Edward
    Alchemist Heady Topper
    Allagash White

    Fiddlehead IPA always seems to makes its way to my fridge!

    I just revisited Peche Mortel after maybe 8 years and it’s still the epitome of a great Coffee Imperial Stout.

    No, bottle, but with a new label design!

    Never had it, but I see Half Time in Mamaroneck has it for growler fills. Think it's worth grabbing when I head to NY next week?

    The Ipswich/BBC/Mayflower standards have forgiven me for my too long foray into pastries over the past few years. I am glad they were there awaiting my return.

    Once they move in to new facility in Cheshire, I’ll think we’ll see that!

    Some duplicates for obvious reasons:

    Notch - Left of the Dial and Session Pils
    Nebco - Elm City Pilsner, Sea Hag &
    G-Bot
    BBC -Coffeehouse Porter
    East Rock Brewing - Black Lager
    Fox Farm - The Cottage, The Cabin and Little Brook
    Grey Sail - Captain’s Daughter
    Marlowe- Eager to Share
    CW- Headway and Workhorse (Wish I could include Space Coyote, but it’s become a rarity)
    Mayflower Porter

    Automatics for me on draft:

    Sloop Juice Bomb, Fiddlehead IPA and
    HF- Edward

    Hopefully, Tree House can get their flagships consistent enough so they can be as reliable as the others in this thread. Given that, Eureka should be a constant in the lineup.

    Need Space Coyote to become brewed more frequently too!
