I know this beer has been mentioned here before. Just adding to the love. Just enjoyed a couple of bottles of it. Good stuff.

Had a Duclvay Brewing's out of Maryland, Sweet Baby Jesus Chocolate peanut butter Porter tonight! A beer I had heard plenty of GOOD things about! It lived up to its hype, especially if you like Reese's peanut butter cups!! Smooth chocolate and peanut butter flavor and the start and middle with a mild, bitter chocolate finish! So good that my wife "made" me order a 2nd bottle at the restaurant we were at! ;-) :beer:

Yup, this doesn't suck! I'm lucky enough to have a local package store that gets Sip of Sunshine quite regularly, and having its owner as one of my neighbors helps ensure that there's usually a 4 pack waiting for me in the "special" section of their cooler where they keep the good stuff that isn't often for sale to the general public! :beer:

Not quite as big and citrusy/hoppy goodness ladened as Sip of Sunshine, but Wormtown's Be Hoppy is a far above average New England IPA (And that says plenty these days!) :beer:

Love that stuff, can't get my hands on cans though. Place near me has it on tap, will have to do for now.

How's that stoneface??

Had a Sculpin Grapefruit, decent! I read many reviews saying it had a heavy juice flavor and I couldn't disagree more. Very subtle flavor, nothing like a Big Squeeze from Harpoon!

IMO the Stoneface IPA is the best IPA being produced in NH right now IF you enjoy it fresh. I live near and buy direct from the brewery. The one time I bought it elsewhere it was clearly old and all of the hop character had dropped right out of it. Tasted like a Long Trail Ale, which is an okay beer, just not a world class IPA like Stoneface is when fresh.


Agree completely on the Grapefruit Sculpin.

Stoneface is being called a Heady Topper killer.

How's that stoner?

Mary and hard Root beer good nice and good together.

That's a pretty bold claim. Got to try it when I head north next weekend!

DHS where could one pickup fresh batches??

 

[deadheadskier]

Stoneface's Moz DIPA is exceptional, but it also has longevity issues just like their standard IPA. Fresh, yeah it's a top tier DIPA. Maybe not Heady / Sunshine level, but damn good.

Prs (btw Paul Reid Smith??). Stoneface brewery is in an industrial park just off exit 3 on the Spaulding Turnpike in Newington. They don't date their beers unfortunately, so at the source is the only place I trust it to be fresh.

Stoneface was real good. SOS was the best IPA if the bunch, I prefer SOS over Heady.

Dogfish Head is one of my favorite craft brewers, so on the way back from vacation I stopped at their brewpub in DE where everything's on tap and they experiment with some stuff.

Now DH is renowned for brewing some strange things and taking some risks, but they have this limited release now called Choc Lobster, which is a beer brewed with chocolate, basil, and......wait for it..... live lobsters.

I didn't like it.

 

[deadheadskier]

I've heard of a couple of breweries using Lobsters up in Maine. Haven't tried them. Maybe it might work in a Gose style, but it doesn't sound to appealing to me.

 

[ctenidae]

Lobster beer doesn't sound good, even from DH.

In Montréal all week. New Unibroue Blonde de Chambly is very tasty. Sample pack from BDT (Brasserie du Temps, I think) that's decent, a little sweet and malty for my taste, but the witte was good.

 

[St. Bear]

I've had the Flying Fish Oyster Stout, and it was pretty good. Why would lobster be any different?

Picked up a growler of Stoneface IPA today and one pint of the APA. VERY SOLID BREWS!!! Definitely worth the stop. Will be getting a case (or two) for the ride home!!
