One of the pioneers of the craft beer industry. I remember my brother buying me some when I visited him at CSU in 93.

Last leftover treat from a trip qto San Diego in March. Of the breweries I hit, Modern Times is the one I'm most eager to go back to. Small, neighborhood suds shop feel as opposed to big warehouse tourist destination.

Summer Beer tryouts this weekend:
Victory Cage Radler- lemony, extremely drinkable, and only 3%, so refreshing.
Sierra Nevada Meyer Lemon- slightly more beery, the lemon wasn't much there (Meyer, I guess). A good beer, but not my favorite
Narraganset Shandy- I like it. quaffable, not too lemony, not to cheap beery, either.
Stony Point Sun Juice. CT local. First half a can is a bit bitter tasting, after that, totally drinkable.

Bought a growler of their Panther IPA - easy to drink good hop and bitter with a smokey flavor.

Had a bomber out of my Lefty's from Greenfield, MA, bourbon barrel aged boxed set that my wife got me for Christmas, of their Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Ale on the patio tonight!

A very smooth, moderate maple ale with moderately balanced malty undertones tapering to a subtle Bourbon finish! Very good! All that was missing flavor profile for me was a piece of crispy bacon to round it all out!!

So good that my wife ended up taking my stein from me and leaving me scrambling to refill the small tasting glass!! ;)

I really hope Lefty's brews and ages this again this year! Very good stuff! :beer:

Finally tried a heady topper last night.
Very good, close to space juice.

Finally got to Trillium in Canton the other day. Very easy in and out of the brewery for retail purchases on Wednesday at 1PM. Grabbed 4 of their beers.

Tonight's choice is their Sleeper Street IPA. Outstanding

I bought four different IPAs including the Congress Street, which is supposed to be their flagship as I understand it.

And Hudson? To Canton must be a bear of a commute

Yes commute sucks but I start at 5am and clock out at 1:30

Can shoot on over on my way home. !!

I hopefully will be starting a new job in Burlington with a 730 start, travelling north from the Providence area. At least it's 3-12s and I won't be leaving to head home until 8PM
