What Northeast beer are you drinking now? (2022)

Heatwave incoming…

A beer I’ve only had once before,
KING JJJULIUSSS, canned 12/22/22.

 

Through a can of each from my haul, drank oldest to newest, and my official rankings are:

Very Hazy (12/6/22)

Very HHHazyyy (no date on first can)

Very Sappy (12/13/22)

King Jjjuliusss (12/22/22)(I’ve only had this once before, but unimpressive revisit. Dull flavors and a bit of astringent finish, freshest can)

Super Sap (11/29/22)(oldest can date of the bunch. Late November vs December on the rest)

 

This is a fun beer. WEIRD and tasty. Definitely has a Sunday Brunch vibe, and probably more suitable to late Spring and Summer weather, and a garden party. As for me, it’s my last can and I’m sitting in the dark, reading about Viking beer. TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE !! Still tasty nonetheless.

Prickly Pear Guava Sourpuft Girls - Barreled Souls

 

Enjoying this local smoked brown ale.
Ingredients are all NE
Well done

 

Sip of Sunshine -- found it fresh at a store near my house and thought "Hey, I haven't had that in a while." It's as delicious as I remember. A really great beer.

 

Never had a Fidens or Troon beer so let’s knock out both hype beasts in one can. Thanks to @M-Fox24 for the generosity.


The Bones of the Things Around Us (DIPA). Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, Amarillo. 8.5% ABV. Canned 11/25/22.

 

I just picked up a 4 pack the other day as well. Agreed - a great blend of IPA styles.

 

what's in the pan?

 

Homemade fudge.

 

Went out after work for a coworkers low key retirement farewell, and enjoyed a zombie dust on draft, which I rarely see on tap at the bars and restaurants I frequent.
Home now and enjoying Treehouse’s DIPA Wonderment, which is hopped with Nelson, Galaxy, Strata and Citra. Maybe it’ll get better as it warms, or maybe my palate needs a break, but it tastes kinda ordinary to me.

 

Tree House - Behind the Times. Dunkel Rauchbier

 

Drinking $3 pints of Yuengling at the local dive bar. Soon my wife and other friends will embarrass themselves at karaoke lol

 

Feels good having some snake juice back in my fridge.

 

Back from the bar with a belly full of Yuengling as I wanted to catch the end of the Celts on a better tv, and ready for a beer upgrade.
Stopped in at Fort Point Market today when in the area doing Putt Shack with the family. Among the goodies I grabbed is this WCIPA, Extant, that is my first from Forest & Main

 

Yards Brewing (Philadelphia, PA) - Very Mega! Imperial IPA

 

Good win for the C’s and on to the next:

 

Went to Jones Wood Foundry in NYC tonight. Had a cask Fifth Hammer “ESB” (Rare Data) and a cask Wild East stout (Standard Deviation). Really enjoyed the bitter. @M-Fox24

 

No more work until Tuesday, so another special beer for the holiday season. A bomber of 2016 East End Brewing (Pittsburgh, PA) Gratitude. They sell aged vintages at the brewery, picked this one up this past summer


while many songs from the Flecktones show off the technical virtuosity of the band members, the roughly last two minutes of this medley is a beautiful melodic section that gives me the chills everytime. music can be a hell of a drug sometimes, can't explain.

 

Now that I’m home, I thought I’d give Wild East another chance to be my favorite beer of the day while sticking with the style theme. Nope. That still goes to Fifth Hammer.

 

Happy Friday. Cheers!

Focal with lunch. Hoping to get to Notch later for a short session.

 

out back in shorts and a tank top crushing cans on December 30th. Didn’t have that on my bingo card.

 

one more outside with king Henry.

 

back inside now, enjoying a delicious double shot.

 

big afternoon session closer. A nice nap is in order after this. Hope to see you all back here this evening.

 

No Mud, No Lotus

 

BTW, I've always noticed and liked your watch band. What watch is it?

 

Chris, just a Fitbit charge 5 and I think that is the band it came with/I selected when I bought it.

 

Lunch beer. I think this is the last can I picked up at Tree House in October.

Field Burner - Pre Prohibition Lager

 

Altbier

 

Might've missed it. What's up with the picnic set up? They put away the tables for the season?

 

Seems so. No tables outside anymore. Barrels for standing beers, but we brought a blanket as have others for kids and as a buffer from the stones.

 

Thanks Matt, enjoy!

 

Mlíko of Tenner then Černé

 

Amory’s Tomb!!!!

 

Treehouse’s Oak conditioned helles is always a good choice as a post work beer!

 

Next up is Julius!

 

At least I can pretend to be in VT. Fantastic as usual.

 

So I saw Shilling today at the new Total Wines in Totowa...so I bought Shilling...and drank an Alexandr. It was delicious but $13 for a 4 pk of delicious pilsners is a bit steep for me. Hopefully they get others in, will surely try them!

 

starting off the post dinner portion of the day with a classic

 

If you're looking for Schilling in that area the bottle king in Wayne has a better selection .
