Special delivery New England style compliments of Bigdaddy. A whole bunch of my faves in here.

Nothing like a 9.6% ABV Triple IPA to help digestion. Woof.

9.6 is a triple?

How’d it go? I’ve slowly backed away from that beer before but heard the 9.6% well hidden.

Sipping a Manor Hill Porter about to pass out from over eating... and lots of great red wine. 9.6% would be daunting at the moment.

It’s very hoppy and smooth, lots of mango flavor too. Not bitter or boozy. Drinking 2 in one sitting would be too easy. I’d put in on par with Triple Sunshine.

Okay, I’ll say it again. Green Empire is making the best beers I’ve ever had. Free Spirt dated 11/20! So freaking fresh!

One of my favorites from this Sparks, Nevada based brewery...it tastes like Bubble Yum!
(including the full label in lieu of a can shot as the label is CAF, imho).

Falls under the “it might as well be” category.

I feel bad that I didn’t tip the guy at the register knowing what I know now.

I had to do a double-take as we have Fort Point Brewing (https://www.fortpointbeer.com/) in San Francisco.

FWIW, their (Fort Point Brewing's) "Animal IPA" is a solid go-to IPA for everyday drinking...

Hard to disagree. Foam is consistently canning new beers that are hitting it out of the park. 3 new to can beers this week, 2 doubles and this one, 6.8% that drinks like a session

I had a Swish and then a Dinner about 15 minutes later. I was nice to compare the two on the same day and within the same hour. Both were very good, but Dinner came out on top for me.

Great Rythym's new release Stratabis with the "Strata" hop. The name came from smelling the danky hops (as in cannabis)...and it is a damn good danky earthy IPA.

**dookeyXXX** · 11-26-2018, 03:07 PM

Another of my favorites from Revision in Sparks, NV, both in terms of the beer itself and the cool label.
This is a solid West Coast brewed, N/E-styled hazy IPA.
This particular brew works well in terms of being a good introduction to the style for hazy neophytes, imho.

Just met Peruvian for a beer a Great Rhythm which was super cool...always nice to meet a mag for the first time! We had the Stratabis. It is a strong grapefruit initial taste and the kinda earthy afterwards. Honestly didn't taste anything like the first time I had it so I went home an cracked a can. Apparently, well clearly, my head was in a different place when I first tried it. I blame the weed. Everything seems to be better with weed [emoji41] Still, I do like it, but it's not way up the list. On the other hand, it's now my wife's favorite. So I guess I'm winning.

**dookeyXXX** · 11-29-2018, 03:18 PM

A nice, easy drinking DIPA.
Most DIPAs and IIPAs are a bit too rich for my taste, but this one was creamy and juicy and wasn't overwhelming, either in terms of taste or alcohol.
