Love the Flower Power. Ithaca Brewing company makes great beer; New York has a lot of quality craft breweries. Governor Cuomo has made a point of investing in the industry.

Had another good IPA last night, Sierra Nevada's Ruthless Rye. The rye gives it a nice little kick. Another quality brew from SN.

Last Night: Dogfish 90min IPA, Lagunitas IPA, Heineken, and shots of Jameson. And felt just fine this morning

Lagunitas IPA, Dogfish IPA, and then Heineken?? That's an interesting combo!

Heady topper is considered one of the top ipas in the world. They lost there brewery in the hurricane a few years back and focused all their efforts on that beer. Surprised you were able to get it in new york they normally on distribute in parts of Vermont.

Had yet another stout over the weekend:
» Marooned on Hog Island

Very tasty, even drinking it out of the can.

And while I used to be mass produced, I got a 6er of National Premium, which was the classier cousin of Natty Boh:
National Premium

It was good as well. Would make a great summer time beer. Drinks easily.

Green Flash IPA is one of the best out there IMO.

I just picked up some Flower Power IPA, another good one. Plus a 4 pack of Sixpoint 3 beans. Sixpoint also has a tasty IPA, Bengali Tiger.

Had an unreal beer the other day. Strongly recommend this one.

Unibroue | La Fin du Monde

BDBohnzie · 02-04-2013, 01:04 PM

La Fin du Monde is quite good. Haven't had it in a while...might have to grab a bottle here soon.

Matty mentioned it earlier, but I picked up a 6er of Ruthless Rye-PA over the weekend. I thought it had more of a bite than last year's.

RedskinMike · 02-05-2013, 08:13 AM

Had some surly abrasive ale yesterday and it was fantastic. It was like sucking on hops. I think it is only available in MN though.

Got it from a beer store in Troy, which is only half an hour from Vermont; if I'm not mistaken the owner bought the beer there.

Anyway, just got word that Troeg's Nugget Nectar is coming in this week. Can't wait!

Another Eastern Shore brewery, http://www.burleyoak.com/ is making an impact on the Delmarva Peninsula and beyond.

No bottles or cans, just drafts and growlers thus far. Was very happy to see my local sandwich shop have a keg of Rude Boy on tap. An Imperial Red Ale that drinks very easy and made me realize that I hadn't had a good red ale until now.

Later this month I am heading to a home brew comp. in Bmore. Couple of my co-workers are submitting beers in the comp. There are also 5 bands and (classic Baltimore) a burlesque show.

Where is this comp? Do you have any information on it? I have a few beers I could enter if the deadline isnt up. On a side not I just picked up a bottle of Brooklyn Black Ops and one of Goose Island Bourbon County Coffee Stout. Pretty excited about both of these.
