Dancing Gnome doing good things. Glad they started canning. Brew Gentlemen is one of my favorite current breweries. Hope they can someday! Have some buddies going there tomorrow & hopefully bringing me back a growler of Lou. 1 jeffthomas84 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would love if BG canned/bottled soon 1 mrewest reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David The Gnome 1,308 Report post Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) @batman @BuzzersonKillwell Just got back from our VT trip. We weren't able to get outside of Waitsfield after our hike but was able to get my hands on some Sip of Sunshine, Heady Topper, Maine Beer Co - MO and Rock Art's Limited Access at the Village Grocery in town. I grabbed a pint of Hill Farmstead's Edward at Mad Taco and it blew me away. Such a superb APA! Also had Fiddlehead's Second Fiddle DIPA and Drop-In's Heart of Lothian Scottish Brown Ale during dinner at Fire & Ice in Middlebury before we started our hike. Both were really tasty. I was a bit surprised with Heart of Lothian, as it didn't seem to get much love in ratings, etc. Was super fresh/drinkable and had awesome flavor. Thanks for all of the insight and recommendations. Definitely looking forward to getting back up to VT/Maine again next year.

Had some Trillium DDH Scaled & Launch Beer and Hill Farmstead Society and Solitude. Edited July 25, 2017 by batman 1 hippielauryn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hippielauryn 433 Report post Posted July 25, 2017 So many great breweries up in that area. My husband and I are planning our honeymoon in and around the NE area for September 2018. Been on a huge Richmond, VA kick this summer. Lots of The Veil and The Answer. Anyone here tried their brews? Also, it's fruited season here in Texas so pretty much every weekend has been spent at Jester King. The Atrial release this past weekend was fucking nuts, but in a good way.

mrewest 682 Report post Posted April 16 Has it really been July since anyone posted here?? Anyways, making a plea to anyone in Richmond VA that might be able to hit up The Answer on Saturday. Dying for that Zelda glass! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monsterrod 1,001 Report post Posted April 16 I got this year's wacky Skulpin IPA from Ballast Point and I found it undrinkable. I enjoyed the Pineapple Skulpin but this year's blend of fruits is way over the top to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twistedshabazz 310 Report post Posted April 16 Has anyone used tavour yet? Was suggested to me by a friend. Its two new beers a day and you can pick from a list of like 10 (with varying availability) fill a box and they charge you a flat 15 to ship. Thinking about trying it.

All those video game glasses have been going stupid fast, and then for stupid amounts of money. That Zelda one is great, though. If you're ever in town, come by Triple Crossing too. We make those good good hazy IPAs and have been doing a lot of wild ales lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I know this is the first one I really really wanna get my hands on. But I love the others, especially Mega Man. Def heard good things about TC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trying to get to a point where I can quit my day job and just work at the brewery full time. First beer is on me if I'm working! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
