    It remindd me of some of that super hazed hop nectar juice beer that trilium makes.

    It looked like one for sure the thing that separates Trillium is the nose.

    Hey, thanks for checking us out! Nice to get some honest first-hand feedback. And probably a good opportunity for me to dispel the notion that I'm only looking to make a buck. Truth is, I'm a sweaty pub brewer who listens to way too much 80s metal, like the rest of you, and I get bored easily. So I'll continue to brew new styles, rotate some regulars, add barrels as I find space, and bring funk when funk is ready to be brung. Hopefully more of the regulars here will check us out.

    Thanks for the check in Spoonwood. Always good to see the breweries here IMO.

    Voodoo posted a picture reminding everyone to pick up their allotments but it showed labels of quadfather and boc in the background and said they have other stuff they want to get us stuff asap

    Can't wait to buy more peanut butter boc if everyone doesn't pick theirs up!

    Whats the deal with all the yoga/beer or fitness class(xyz)/beer events that go on around here?
    Is it a new trend or what? I never saw it until transplanting here. It seems a bunch of yoga and fitness studios & breweries or beer bars have these happenings. Maybe Boston isnt hip, or I'm just untraveled.

    My wife dragged me to one at Houghs. For those of you who've met me in person, you can imagine how I would look doing yoga. It's an interesting sight.

    I think they are trying to send a subtle message to some of us BA members. I know my girlfriend tries to send the same message.....

    Market District Settler's Ridge still has quite a bit of Lost Abbey Deliverance, but it is $16.99.

    I deeply appreciate your being understanding. I'm extremely glad with the rate of winners we've had since @Zach_BrewGentlemen has been at the helm.

    At least for us, one of our patrons (a very proactive and outgoing yoga teacher) offered to organize and teach classes at the taproom with a few other instructor friends. So in our case, it just sort of fell into our lap.

    @brewgentlemen it was a good time. And the beers were a perfect compliment to sore muscles. Any chance there will be an other session in that steel mill besides the late August one? Im out of town that weekend unfortunately.

    So you shit on a beer because the person said it was better than Church's Berliner? That is kind of silly. I think most people haven't had church in 2-3 years because it's gone downhill a bit. My girlfriend was quite a fan of thunderhop and convinced me to grab a growler of it recently and it was pretty bad. I'm not sure if it was an old batch or if they don't use Galaxy in it anymore but it had no noticeable hop flavors other than bitterness. Was mostly a bitter malty mess which is sad because I remember it being pretty solid.
