Two Roads Henry's Farm Released Today

I'll be there later this afternoon

 

Sorry, just can't get excited about Two Roads. It's all fine but nothing I would seek out.

 

Their Saison is on point, though.

 

IMO their special releases have been well worth seeking out. From urban funk to their latest gueuze/kriek imitations, all of those have been super solid, not to mention lil' heaven is an awesome crusher, better than 'all day' and others that are similar IMO...

 

The rye whiskey aged Henry's Farm is superior, extremely underrated, and is drinking better than it did on release. Might not be the most authentic tasting bock on it's own but the smooth malt really lends well to barrel aging. I hope they do it again. Their "lambic" series was also pretty damn solid.

I don't think much of what they do is mind-blowing but there are too many haters out there. They make good stuff and lots of local places that don't have much craft options still carry Two Roads, and that makes me happy, at least.

 

Lil Heaven is an excellent session IPA, second only to Green Flash's Citra Session IMO.

 

I think they get a bum rap, I love their barrel age stuff: Igor's Dream(wish I scored some this year and not just a tasting the day after),Worker Stomp,Conntucky Lightning(though I know people who hate this one.) and I think they got some great non BA stuff: thier Hef,rye 95,dopple bock,abbey blonde,worker's comp,ol' factory, unorthodox. That said they got some stuff I can't stand(20 ton,route of all evil) too, but I like they are pushing themselves.

Also I love their location, it feel like a damn brewery museum in there.
