Vermont knows beer, no state comes close.
Tiny little state of rednecks and hippies.
I love living in the valley, tax free NH, four miles from exit 5, 91.
World Cup ski race in Vermont, next week.
East rules so hard
I enjoyed a highwater campfire stout on tap recently. It was a great part of my lunch.
Oregon has rednecks and hippies. Some good beer tooQuote:

I picked up a couple of cases for $16/ea.
It's a year old, but tastes good to me.
My awesome wife has to go to Bellingham today for work so she's going to pick me up a growler from Wander Brewing. She's getting their Correspondent Stout if it's available. I haven't had it before, but these guys do a good job and I expect it will be good. I'll post a TR later. :)
Bahahahaha. I lol'ed. Been a Bernie supporter since he first became mayor and i was too young to vote. That joke's still funny.Quote:

I have a Red Rock Drioma queued up for later this afternoon as the cold front rolls through the valley. Whipping up a batch of beef stew too.
Major beer brewing seminars going on in Vt for last two weeks. Mr. Lawson and others in attendance.
You in VT?Quote:

Had quite a few different brews as of late but these two stood out:
Granville Island Mocha Porter, so so good hands down the best coffee/chocolate added I've ever had, perfect blend of flavours, I can't recommend it enough.

Howe Sound Pothole Filler Stout, definitely the darkest beer I have ever seen, even my LED flashlight can't penetrate this black brew. Really strong & thick, lives up to it's name for sure.

Elysian Split Shot Espresso Milk Stout on Fresh Frozen Cascadian Crystals
Happy New Year

If weather cooperates I hope to brew this week a double chocolate milk stout that I will dry nib.
Last night's menu:
Oakshire Espresso Stout
Left Hand Fade to Black
Avery Out of Bounds Stout
I'm a big fan of that Oakshire Espresso Stout
You got a nitro tap? Sounds like a good candidate.Quote:

If you ask a local gas company for "Guinness Gas" or just 25/75% co2/nitro (or close to that) they will usually carry it. Forget price but I don't think it is very expensive.Quote:

Beer gas requires a special tank, regulator and tubing all being different than CO2.
You can carb with the blend, just leave it on high pressure for a day or two.Quote:
