Otter Creek Brewing Thoughts

I hope the next move is an easy to get double ipa. The only two I can easily acquire ( without an hour plus drive) are tribute and limbo.

 

Haven't heard mention of the Lawson's/Otter Creek collab, Double Dose yet. It was expensive but very worth it.

Very excited for the Joint Custody. Those new German hops are

 

Been a fan for years but the last few years they are awesome. I will really miss the black IPA though.

Enjoy

 

The new lineup is great, and they've obviously put some thought into revamping the image. I would love to revisit stovepipe with a fresh perspective.

 

I can't get enough of Fresh Slice. I drank it all last summer and have already been killing it this year.

 

I am also surprised by the comments about Kind Ryed. I was only able to get one 6 pack last year and loved it. Reminded me of a rye flavored Two Hearted, although some may disagree.

I have tried all the new ones and liked them, although I think they need to break it up and brew something different, maybe a porter or stout.

I will truly miss the Black IPA however. Stovepipe was ok, but had too much charcoal dark malt flavor, and while Copper Ale was decent enough, there is always Long Trail Ale.

 

Stood by Otter Creek for years now. Had a great personal tour of their brewery as well. I did buy less and less of their beers until the new ones came out and it thrilled me to taste the new quality and freshness of their beer. Keep it up!

 

Mike has definitely turned this label around. His brews are the new type of VT style that was started with the Alchemist and Lawson's. Overgrown has been my favorite so far but Backseat Burner is a close second!

 

Eh not really because Long Trail is doing the same thing (ie discontinued a lot of their regular beers and re-branding.)

 

That is true, but Long Trail Ale is still around.....to my knowledge.
