Nice double Ipa from Wormtown. Smell is great but the taste could stand to be a bit hoppier, given the name. About three weeks old so it shouldn't have lost much taste quite yet. Think I like original Be Hoppy better.

Up in Ludlow. I was unaware that Trout River had been purchased and relocated to Springfield. I thought they simply closed.

So when I saw a four pack of their Single IPA I grabbed it.

This is about as mediocre as an IPA can get. I wouldn't even know it was an IPA had it not said so on the can.

Agree 100% with you DHS!

It was a disappointing over carbonated malt bomb when I tried it earlier this summer

Wouldn't the market decide what is too many? If there were too many,some would be going out of business.

We've got quite a few on the NH Seacoast, but could probably support more.

Tonight's selection is Otter Creek Overgrown Pale Ale. For a value priced beer this is really well done. $11 a twelve pack at Market Basket.

Finally had some downtime to make the trip up to Treehouse Brewing for the Wednesday can sale. Holy crap, does anybody work anymore?? Never expected to see a full parking lot and a line of 50 people ahead of me at 1:30pm in the middle of nowhere. Coming from Western CT I exited I-84 onto Route 32 and wouldn't you know that the 3 cars in front of me off the interstate all where headed to Treehouse in Monson, MA.

Grabbed six cans of Julius and 6 of Green IPA which are currently chilling for Labor Day Weekend consumption.

Hadn't been to the town brewery recently. They had a new IPA called Biotic. Pretty good.

Had the Alchemist beers for the first time this week (Crusher, Focal Banger, Heady Topper). All tasted rancid to me. They were selling 24 packs at the brewery in Stowe (8 of each) for $80.70. Anyone who pays that much for that crap is nuts.

You probably drink Bud Light and think it tastes good 🙄
