Metro Boston prices suck. There is a Yard House next to Fenway thats really good, food and drink selection.
agreed. not a big chain restaurant fan, but do like that the yard house typically has a couple interesting options mixed in with the 50+ standards.

Just had a Sebago Brewing Whistle Punk double IPA that I picked up in Maine yesterday. Very good with a taste similar to Second Fiddle at a much better price point.

A very good friend of mine in Portland who is a big time beer geek LOVES Whistle Punk. I've yet to try it.

What was the price point? Second Fiddle is pretty reasonable at $13 a four pack from the brewery. By comparison, Swish from Bissell Brothers in Maine is $17.

It was $9.99 at the Good Food store near Sunday River for a 16 oz 4 pack. Pretty fresh, canned on 12/10.
I've always paid around $15-16 for Second Fiddle in central VT, never been to the brewery.

At local late night open kitchen place... Candlelight Inn for those local that know it and drinking Greenpoint Beer works Kelso Imperial IPA on tap. Incredibly drinkable for a 10% ABV brew. I could get annihilated on these if I wasn't careful lol.

Smuttynose Rocky Road stout from their big bottle series. Really smooth and creamy. Quite good!

Rising Tide Cutter Imperial tonight.


Pretty good, not fantastic. A bit too malty, kind of like Boom Sauce, but I like this one better.

Yup. If given the choice of all those beers in my fridge and a Hannaford down the street, I would take the Hannaford. The Stop and Shop on the East Side is crazy expensive.

That said, awesome collection.

Best so far was the Trillium DDH Scaled. Better than Heady. Alter Ego close second.
Buddy brought the Lost Nation and we have not gotten into it yet. Tomorrow.

still pissed I flew out the day the DDH scaled was released. Thought about trying to score some, but any line would have meant missing my flight...

I made a stop into Lost Nation last visit to that party of VT. Got some Mosaic and Lost Galaxy. Both pretty good, but not outstanding IMO. I prefer the hop profile of the LG.

I wish I was into Gose. That's apparently very good from them for the style. Our brewery in town (Deciduous) is well regarded for that style as well. I just can't get into the salty beers.

Yeah the Gose was tough to muscle down. Seemed overly carbonated to me.
