    I've had Breakfast with Churchill and Big Broadcast. Both were solid, delicious beers. Looking for opinions on their other beers?

    I've also had the Breakfast w/ Churchill and thought that it was pretty darn good.
    I've also enjoyed Lt. Dan and Peace Bomb.
    I intend to try their other beers eventually.

    Man, have they come a long way. When I visited about 3 years ago I only gave 2 stars out of pity. Cut to 2017 and I'm regularly buying Lt. Dan.

    Good to hear. We'll be up there a couple of times this summer and I wouldn't have given them a second look based on our past experience. Now I will.

    Didn't know this place existed. I spend time in Canandaigua every summer so I'm gonna check them out when I go.

    They changed brewers I know that. I've passed over them several times based on the past, but good to know it's worth a second try.

    I think they reformulated the recipes in a lot of things. Lt. Dan looks way different than when I tried it back in November

    My parents bought me back a growler of their Riesling IPA last year. Not mind blowing, but not bad at all, and definitely different.

    Never heard of anyone doing a Riesling IPA. But given that the Finger Lakes is the preeminent spot in the Northeast for that type of wine, it makes sense.

    I haven't been there myself, but I think they are connected to 3 Brothers Winery.
