    Want to hear from you guys what is your favorite local Ale based on New England area? Do you prefer to try new products from well established brands or new local breweries?

    For all of New England- Lunch, Zoe or Gandhi Bot

    Without getting VT involved, then its a whole 'nother animal.

    HT hands down is my favorite local ale.
    To be fair I'll also include Hoponius as my favorite lager.
    There are so many other great local beers out there for the New England beer drinker, but these two rise to the top of my present list.
