Local beer that spoils you

Hmmm, considering Tired Hands is 10 minutes from where I work and Victory is 10 minutes from where I live, I am pretty spoiled...

 

One of my favorite non IPA beers, especially on tap.

 

My go-to liquor store, which is 10 minutes away, had 10 different 3 Floyds stocked yesterday. I'd say if I need a good beer, I know just the place.

 

Ghost in the Machine released today, 2 four pks/person and.......sold out at the brewery in 6 hours.

Got my 4

 

The homebrew on tap in my living room.

Besides that, New Glarus, Tyranena and Central Waters take a lot of my attention away from other breweries.

 

Creature Comforts; Tropicalia and Athena cans on average are less than 2 weeks old.

Harpoon IPA. Not the best but I grew up with it when they were a small brew pub on Canal Street near Boston Garden

 

Matter of opinion. I've had ZD on tap at the brewery and fresh Pseudo Sue in bottles and found ZD to be better. Take a road trip to Munster, Indiana and if you still prefer Pseudo Sue then maybe I should go to Decorah, Iowa. Not exactly the first place you think of for a family vacation. You on the other hand can show your kids the real "Sue" (assuming you have young children) at the Field Museum in Chicago on your way to Munster.

 

Just realized you've been there. Never Mind

 

Pretty much anything at Night Shift that's not in bottle... They always have a few things exciting on tap... It's nice being able to walk 2 blocks and stumble on home a few hours later.

 

Jai Alai. These words mean "standard ipa" to me now.
Fortunately, the limiteds still do it for me and Huna is my favorite IS ever, despite the proximity.

 

Creature Comforts Tropicalia and Orpheus Transmigration of Souls.

 

Can I move in with you

 

Living 1 mile away from Trillium I just completely stopped buying other IPAs.

 

I was going to say Heater Allen Hugo and Block 15 Gin and Juice. Props to you for mentioning them!

 

Zombie dust is still one of my favorites and was the sue you had a recent batch. The Florida batches haven't been anywhere near what that beer is supposed be.

 

I'm 40 minutes outside Boston and disitribution in the area is generally pretty good - I can be as spoiled as I want to be! Jack's Abby, Harpoon, CBC, Pretty Things, Night Shift, Mystic - well, there's a lot of breweries I'd call local (although not as local as some). You get the picture. I could drink Eastern MA beers for a long, long time.

One true local from a 3 bbl nano-brewery I really enjoy is Goodfellow's The Townsman Stout - I'll buy that before many of the more highly acclaimed and readily available alternatives.

 

Agreed, taste to much like Zombie Dust.

 

Being about 10 minutes from Funky Buddha and around 20 minutes from Due South.
