    they currently have 4 of their own IPAs on tap...including the brand new Double feature IIPA

    Tropic Thunder
    ShotGun Willy
    Sneak Peak
    Double feature IIPA

    One is better then the next, I thought Shotgun Willy was outstanding, but then I was blown away by a fresh Double Feature (or two) last night.

    Hop lovers, something good, real good, is going on at PB...thank ya Jesus for brewers lke Jeff O'Neal coming to one of my local watering holes and kicking some serious brewing ass

    I was just at the brewery on monday night (in the area for business) and tried the Tropic Thunder and Sneak Peak IPA and thought they were both awesome. He definitely is hitting on something with his beers now.

    Things are only to get better at Peekskill now that Jeff can use his creativeness to it's potential! Need to get back there again soon.

    Peekskill Brewery is a gem. Tropic Thunder is a great beer. PB is a nice Saturday ride from CT. DeCicco's (Ardsley) the new CL location PB , Birdsall House is a fun trip. Really looking forward to Double Feature!

    Late to the party, but just got a growler fill of Double Feature yesterday. $20.

    They definitely do growler fills, which is great as I enjoy most beer at home with friends better than an hour way from here. Haven't had Double Feature yet, hope to get some soon, but have enjoyed copious quantities of all the other masterpieces mentioned here. Even the Berliner was solid, can you imagine Ithaca letting him do a Berliner?

    Welcome goes out to the area's newest brewmaster genius, and to the newest force in Mid Hud beer.

    Double Feature was extremely pungent with hops. Very strong Citra notes is what I got from it. Makes sense being a Simcoe/Citra hop bill. I'm definitely looking forward to trying Tropical Thunder and Shotgun Willy.

    I know this post was about the IPAs, which are abosolutely stellar, but you also have to mention his Saison and Breakfast stout. He is making some outstanding beers and, in my opinion, has not had an off beer yet. I used to go there for their guest taps, but since his arrival haven't had anything other than PB beers.

    Are any of these being bottled? They all sound tasty, but I have not seen them at all in PA.

    No, right now it's draft at the brewery only. I hope he expands to bottling one day, but it surely won't be at lease until he finishes the location move. I don't even know if he has plans for it, but I hope so. I'm usually very underwhelmed by "brewpub" beers, but given his history he's doing great things.

    'Brewpub' beer?? Wouldn't that just depend on the brewpub/brewer?

    Tropic thunder sounds amazing just from the name and I can only imagine it's hitting all the citrusy notes I want in an IPA...

    Around my area (Poughkeepsie), the small Brewerys/brewpubs have made beer that I'm just not crazy about. This is by far the best local batch of beers I've had. I should have clarified I meant in my area.
