some damn good IPA's out there

[Name Redacted]

Brewing a Fresh Hop IPA today with hops picked in the last 24 hrs from both sides of the continental divide. I'll try to post some picks later.

These guys are doing it right!
I've had the Calypso, Citra, Khaos, and this one Anomalous.

This will be in the mail FD! ...well not these ones

Where is your store?

Huggett's in Thetford Vt. Just north of Norwich. We've had a decent selection for years, but I've been stepping up our game the last couple summers. Mostly because I want the beers I enjoy in stock :-p

Speaking of strawberry I've heard Stowe cider strawberry is amazing, tho you pay a premium for the stowe cider offerings. (Just Like stowe)

Re: space juice availability. We just got it in today, so it should be making the rounds.

No one has recently commented on the Deschutes Pinedrops? That's really good stuff. Totally different style from Fresh Squeezed.

Yeah I like those. Great to have two totally different delicious choices.

Stone IPA with my burger right now.

CHEERS!

Never heard of them, looking forward to it and I have a bunch of new ones to send you in turn.

Nice, next time I'm over that way I will give you heads up. The ms and I try to get down to Morey for a weekend in Sept. each year, although with our kids sports schedule that may not happen this year. Let me know the next time you are headed BTV way.

Nice! I live on lake Morey. LMR is my step-families biz. Definitly look me up if you're ever in the neighborhood.


Just sitting down on Morey with my space juice now. First impressions....

82ibu 8.7abv
Served in 16oz can. Half Poured into worthy burger tulipe snifter, half drank from can.

If my memory serves; it's very similar to BBC's complicated Wizard. ....edit: looked up wizard on BA. Definitly very similar beers.

very little carbonation; minimal, Thin head.

Color is a beautiful, bright orange-copper.

Taste and smell is blood orange - clementine citrus. dank, with a bit of alcohol finish but not overwhelming.

I kinda prefer it from the can...already buzzing pretty good after one; very fast acting like a Heady

[FussyDutchman]

Small world VT! One of our best friends went to St J Academy with your family member and introduced us to the place years ago. Definitely one of my fav bass fishing lakes, loaded with fish and crystal clear. Not looking promising after checking out the sports schedule for the month but still a slight possibility.

Thanks for the preview, will be on the prowl for it in the next few days.

This is the first beer in a year that I took aback and said, "Holy shit that's good."

[Peruvian]

This is not one of the good ones.

[HankScorpio]

I'm usually a gin and club soda guy in the summer, but I've been sucking down Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin IPAs and Founders All Day IPAs all summer. Few things are better after a long mountain bike ride. Also digging Two Roads Lil' Heaven IPA lately.

[Peruvian]

Nor is this



If I want an olde English style IPA I'll buy a Sam smith's or fullers.

[Game Over]

pretty decent.

[biggins]

I approve. Yum. And agreed, this is a heady buzz. Been waitin' on this for months and oh boy did it deliver. Also had some Trillium Simcoe Saison today. It is truly the golden age of beer if you ask this guy.

+1 on the agreed and great review on da Juice MPPG! Grabbed 2 4pks yesterday and had my first an hour ago, went back to my locals shop hoping they had some left, scored 2 out of the 4 packs they had remaining. It definitely has some limbo attributes but with more hop kick and and really nice almost peppery finish...glad LT has come up with another winner. The $ is a bit steep but this might be one of the very few that is worth it after the 1st try.

Moved on to Stone RuinTen, I prefer the last Enjoy By and ruination 2.0 personally but it's certainly doesn't suck either. Frost Beer Works More IIPA next up, Happy Labor Day all!

[shroom]

fumbling through my first 22 of deschutes foray. I can dig it.

Trillium Vicinity Double IPA right now. Golden Age of Beer!

Amber pale count as long as it's hoppy enough?

Pompous ass fuckers

You like the Valore? ....Thought it was a little watery. Definitely no tribute

[HD333]

Did not like.

Seemed to be more of a Hoppy, Overly Boozy, Amber Ale than a IIPA.

Gotta agree with your thoughts on I-87 IPA, terrible.

I am thinking you maybe got an old Stoneface? Fresh I really liked that.

Enjoyed a few Fiddlehead IPA's this weekend, one of my favorite "regular" IPA's around, cheap growler fills at the brewery.

[strawjack]

This is not one of the good ones.

Yeah, that's kind of a bummer. One thing I've noticed is that they've become inconsistent especially with the bottles. So that could be that they are old or leaking air. Cans ftw. Also, it seems they're experiencing growing pains. Trying to delegate some of the process can create flaws.

I would give it a second shot. I'm not putting them in the category of some of the VT beers...it is a solid brew. Their Moz dbl is very good.

[Peruvian]

Space Juice is disappointing. Way too malty for a VT ipa.

Here's a winner.
