Had a Magic Hat #9 before attending Nats-Mets game here in DC last night. Nice, mild ale that goes down easy in summertime. Run of the mill for you New Englanders, but Magic Hat brews are a fun and slightly exotic choice for us southerners. :beer:

#9 was my gateway beer. I don't have such a strong affinity for it anymore but it was the beer that got me into beer drinking. (Growing up in Vermont, I felt obliged to drink local. :) )

One of the earlier craft brews that got me started too. Wanted to know what all the hype was about.

Picked up a 6 pack of Waschusett Larry

Really delicious DIPA. Lots of citrus and pine hops on the front end with a malty backbone. IMHO, this is a really quality Double IPA. And, with a ski area in the name, it already had a leg up before I even tasted it! :spread::snow::spread::snow:.

As a self proclaimed IPA lover I urge anyone who loves the hops to pick up a bottle of Jack's Abbey Kiwi Rising. Technically a Double India Pale LARGER, it is amazing.

I'm not certain, but I interpret that as "Coors Light tastes like ass even when you're stoned out of your gourd and it's the only beer in the fridge."

If so, I would tend to agree.

I can remember when Coor's Light first came out, my thoughts were, "What? Coors is friggin "light" to begin with, this must taste like water." I was right.

Lagering does some wonderful things to IPAs. If you can find it, you should try Founders Dissenter. Amazing, but a limited run.

Baxter Brewing Phantom Punch Winter Stout. In a can.

Pretty good, I must say. Good heft, nice malty chocolate, without being overpowering. I feared, opening it up, that it would be an overly aggressive attempt to make a big stout, as many breweries are wont to do. But, it was controlled and effective. Went well with pork ribs, but then, what doesn't?

Anyone going up I-91 on their way to VT - stop in Greenfield, MA (EXIT 26 for rte 2 West, but head East into Greenfield) and find Lefty's Brewery!! Great local brewery! Their Maple Ale, Maple Oatmeal Stout, chocolate Oatmeal stout, big breakie (bacon chocolate oatmeal stout) and Irish stout that I've had have all been amazing!! Buy a bomber (usually under $7!) If you're passing through the area!!
