Enjoying a Eureka with Citra from Tree House with the wife. Nice light 4% hoppy Blonde Ale.
12 of them got delivered to me today along with some Julius.

It went nicely with the chicken, bacon, scallion, ranch pizza I cooked on the grill.

Given that today is international stout day, and Treehouse has had a couple of barrels in the brewery that likely used to age some fine spirit before they traveled to Monson, I'm expecting to hear some barrel aged stout release from them today!

Too bad I'm heading to DC today for a convention today

Having a Ballast Point Calm Before the Storm. It's a coffee cream ale. Never had anything quite like it. Not bad, but can only have one at a sitting.

Firestone Walker Double Jack.

A bit too malty for my liking. That seems to be a common characteristic of Firestone beers.

Second Fiddle is the choice tonight. Not an easy choice.

Perhaps my strongest IPA quiver ever right now.

Rico Sauvin DIPA by Against The Grain Brewery out of Louisville, KY. Very tasty.

Boom Sauce is definitely a malt bomb. That was my last can from a 4 pack I bought in September. Firestone double Jack perhaps even more so.

Only reason I amassed such a variety is I didn't drink for 30 days. Decided to do a cleanse to get ready for the ski season. Still bought great beers when I came across them as I travel all over New England for work

So, it's all turned out to be a great reward for taking a month off from beer. Now I basically have a couple cases of some of the most sought after beers in New England.

:beer:

I have not. Where to buy D? I'm in metro Boston frequently

I haven't found it around Boston yet - it's a Vermont beer, I found it at Jay Country Store. According to a friend of mine it's a blatant copy of Heady, thus the name "Tribute". I got the same vibe from Long Trail Space Juice recently as well.

Deciduous Brewing Epiphyte

Really nice DIPA from our nice little brewery in town. Cascade hops from New Zealand are used, so a bit different style DIPA. Nice clean finish.

J'Ville Brewery out of Jacksonville, VT - Their American IPA - Picked up a couple of "Crowlers" (32oz cans - the 12oz can of V8 included in the photo for size perspective! ;-) ) A very tropical smelling, moderately hoppy classical IPA in a Harpoon IPA like way. Not a modern hop bomb by any means, but an enjoyable, very drinkable IPA nonetheless!

Looking forward to trying the crowlers of Coffee Stout and Vanilla Porter I also bought today soon! Thinking J'Ville will become a regular stop on my drives from CT to Mount Snow based on my 1st impression of their beer! :beer:

Another fine offering from J'ville Brewery out of Jacksonville, VT! Their Coffee Stout. Think Starbucks original at 6.2% or a slight more bitter Founder's Breakfast Stout! Very solid offering! And I would highly recommend a stop in on anyone's trip home from Mount Snow if they go the route 112/100 way down to I-91 in Greenfield, MA - The Brewery is just on the 112 side of the 100/112 junction in Jacksonville
