What Northeast beer are you drinking now? (2022)

Rauch > Reg > Dunkel > B&R in my opinion



This beer is phenomenal. Notch + smoke is almost universally hitting 8.5/10 at minimum for me.

 

Had couple of locally brewed lagers. Suburban Brewing - Mexicali (Mexican style lager), and Stickman Brews - Swill (Maibock).

 

After a minor disappointment in the Wild and Sour thread, I'm turning my gaze northward to Newcastle.



Ahhh.

 

Ended last night with an Allagash beer for this weekend's Wild/Sour Ale tasting thread

tributary!

 

A bit windy but otherwise a perfect day.

 

OH - More Citra than All Citra -- TIPA -- This is one of the best OH beers that I've had. Easy drinking for a triple, really great flavor, creamy mouth feel. I also got to sing the name of the beer to the tune of "More Human Than Human"

 

enjoying a can out back…didn’t feel like going inside for a glass.

 

still so hot and humid, had to switch to a pils

 

Yup…basic bitch-type beer. Then again, I am a basic bitch….

Enjoying this local lager
Cheers all

 

Sometimes, you gotta go with the light

 

Enjoying this cellar treat now
Cheers

 

post dinner pils. Canned in late March. Still tasting great.

 

Holding onto sunshine as the summer nights get darker and cooler.

 

far from the best beer from root and branch, but still better than what most breweries put out there.

 

Damn these guys are good.

 

wild east killed it with this one

 

and now, back to another one from R&B

 

Workhorse Brewing - Crooked King DIPA

 

One positive from the pandemic was that many breweries were allowed to ship, including Suarez. Previously, I had no problem making the 5 hour round trip journey, but sometimes it’s nice to just pay $20 per case to have it delivered to the front door.

 

I bought this in Virginia, but I’m pretty sure it was brewed in Connecticut, so I’m in the right place. Anyhoo, this is delicious. This dude knows how to brew amazing stouts…among other styles.

 

my goodness, this is nice.

Week off starts now. Really good lager hitting the spot after running around with my kids/wife’s footie team for a bit. Crackery bread that goes down easily.

 

As far as I’m concerned this is the best American pilsner there is. Checks every box completely.

 

Certainly making up for my lack of recent posts. This can actually tastes better than the fresher one I had almost a month ago. Still, not enamored with it but it tastes great after some Thai food.

 

Bad pour, excellent beer.

 

Brew Gentlemen (Braddock, PA) - Legendary Weapons. Citra and Mosiac IPA. Very nice citrus and stone fruit aroma, taste is slightly sweet, little bitterness. Soft and smooth mouthfeel, overall quite enjoyable

 

Perfect after-beach beer.

 

Such an awesome beer still. Cape May knows what they’re doing.

 

KCBC is making great lagers lately. Quite fresh too.

 

Random Singlecut American lager with rye. Not bad.

 

Free Will Brewing - Rayo de Luna

 

Been saving this one for a good night, and I guess that’s tonight. 15%er from Evil Twin and Short Throw. Whoa. Ton of caramel, coconut and maple syrup. Not overpowering and very smooth for the abv. Damn, wish I had more than 1, this is special.

 

One more NYC lager. Very well executed.

 

Spruced from Tilted Barn. Mild, simple, but pleasing.

 

First State Brewing (Middeltown, DE) - Tripel Beaming. Since this brewery is only an hour from my house, and part of the US Census Bureau's metro area for Philly, I am declaring it an honorary Northeastern beer. Pretty spot on for the style: aroma is peppery, floral, earthy, grainy. taste starts with some honey-like sweetness but finishes drier. thin to medium bodied, lively carbonation.

The last studio song Gov't Mule released with Allen Woody on bass (posthumously) - a ripping cover of Grand Funk Railroad's Sin's a Good Man's Brother. The rest of this album featured an all-star lineup of guest bass players on every other track: Jack Bruce, John Entwistle, Bootsy Collins, Flea, Mike Gordon, Larry Graham, Roger Glover, Chris Wood, Dave Schools, Willie Weeks, Stefan Lessard, Oteil Burbridge, and Mike Watt. Volume 2 had a mess of other greats as well.
