I'm not sure what the plan is other than the game Saturday. We'll hike something for sure.
Staying in Louisville so that brewery looks like it will happen. Thanks for the tip.

These visits will be more fun when he's 21, but that will happen fast enough so no rush. I'm told his housemates and he know how to tailgate. Get some 30's.....Quote:

Went with Melvin IPA. Liking it
VT hopheads: get your mitts on some 14th star "Batch #72". 8% DIPA. It's draft only and Better than Tribute. Best beer I've had in a while.
How does one small state, have so many good choices?
This was freshly delivered to the local beer shop today.
So freaking good!

FYI There's a fresh hop festival in Denver this weekend. Used to be at the Falling Rock but out grew that so it is up on Champa. Check it out if you have the chance!
This shit is amazing. Best Foley Bros beer I've had.Quote:

Good Measure, Ten Bends, Goodwater, Hogback, Foam among others have all opened in the last year and have all seemed to find an enthusiastic audience. Ipa's get most of the attention (rightfully so) but there are so many other styles that are available, many of which are true gems (Foley Maple Brown and Lost Nation Wind come to mind) that many don't pay attention to.
MPPG - Batch #72 is definitely worth finding and I was told recently by someone in the biz, most likely in line for canning in the future.
MMP--you should blow off parents weekend and go to the Fresh Hop Festival in Denver tomorrow. ;)
Well if it wasn't for the kegger that starts at 830 am for the CU tailgate, I'd be all in
Or hang out for GABF next week. Starts Thursday.
the bartender at Odd 13 had to postpone her honeymoon to work that...I'm out Sunday. (did you know you can buy weed in stores here???):party:Quote:

Breakside Brewing Fresh Hop Simcoe and Back to the Future IPA
Firestone Walker Luponic Distortion
I need to go back through my notes to see what else I tried, but those were ones that stood out from memory. I was hugely impressed with Great Notion all around as a brewery, they also had some great sours and fruit beers in their lineup.
Firestone luponic #2? Very good! unique piney tonic finish
Yes, I believe so, the bartender at Podnah's Pit wasn't able to tell me much about it besides the fact that it was a rotating Firestone IPA. The tap handle said Luponic Distortion and "piney tonic" would describe the flavor well. It was remarkably refreshing with a pulled pork sandwich.Quote:

And while not breweries, Stammtisch and its clone Prost have big selections of German beers, some of which are very hard to find in the states.
Luponic Distortion is awesome IMHO. However number 002 is old. Canned in July. 003 is out already and is just as good. I don't get too much pine in 003

Then I would guess it was #3, I don't think kegs of IPA sit for too long at such a high traffic restaurant. Regardless, it was delicious, and definitely tasted fresh.
I am polishing off a can of #2 canned on 6/24, haven't seen #3 yet here in VT, at least that I've noticed.
Nice fridge stoke.Quote:
