Your favorite local, fresh beer

Any Ocelot IPA

 

Lone Pint Yellow Rose IPA!

 

Trillium GDH Fort Point

 

gotta agree with you man, fresh and local is the way to go. I had a nice fresh whirlpool last time I was in boston, tasted excellent!! around me, the best and freshest ipas are Heady, SOS and 2nd Fiddle ... got to try second fiddle the day after it was canned that being said im not sure having the beer immediately after packaging is that necessary. I got a case of 2nd fiddle and I thought it was its best between 1-2 weeks after. Ive also had some not fresh IPAs that were supposed to be high quality but tasted very mediocre, guessing due at least in part to lack of freshness.

 

Panther from rheingeist brewery cincy

 

Galaxy Dry Hopped Fort Point Pale Ale

 

There's always something good at Ithaca when I go down there.

 

It always use to be Picaroons Blonde Ale but a new brewery popped up within the last 3 months with an excellent IPA (Maybee Work Horse IPA). I had a 500 mL can of it at less than two weeks old and it was absolutely fantastic.

*Both beers are brewed in Fredericton, New Brunswick

 

Without a doubt - Ghost in the Machine

 

Zombie Dust (FFF), Lizard King (Pipeworks), and Space IPA (Half-Acre)... can't ever pass those up fresh.

 

Other Half Green Backs when it pops up on draft. G is for Green is my favorite IIPA from OH on tap only. OH Amarillo IPA in the can is pretty banging.

 

Transmigration of souls

 

As far as a local beer that is fairly easy to acquire (so long as it's in current production - they cycle it in/out on occasion), Solemn Oath Brewery's Butterfly Flashmob is a damn fine Belgian Pale.

Hard to beat El Segundo's Day 1 program, bottled, delivered and available to drink all in one day. I loved the freshness in their Power Plant Triple IPA. I can really taste the differences in having it day one versus now, almost a month out.
