Hearsay Green Apple Sour from my local Black Pond Brewery in Danielson, CT

I got their 2nd to last bottle they had when I stopped by to pick up a few mini growlers of some of their other offerings this even.

For full disclosure, I like sours. This was a very good sour! Plenty of sour/tartness with a subtle apple and dry champagne quality towards the finish. Wish I had bought their last bottle as well!!

Talking with the brewmaster, he's got the yeast culture saved, and for next year's annual release of Hearsay, he'll be using cherries instead of Green Apple's! Sounds good to me!!

Really appreciate having a nano brewery with fun owners/brewers 2 miles from my house in CT! And the fact that the brewery is in the basement of my local bike shop that I frequent as much as my local ski shop in VT, doesn't suck either!!

Drink local when you can! 🍻👍

Latest batch of Building 8 (11/07 date) is much juicier than previous batches, tastes like a completely different beer and not nearly as good.

Otter Creek Free Flow IPA - tasty new brew from Otter Creek. Canned on 11/16 and they call it "A Mind-Melting India Pale Ale" . 60 IBU''s and 6% ABV. This beer might become a new go to option at $9.49 a six pack at Mehurons.

A couple I sampled this past weekend.

This was a pale ale the wants to be an IPA. Has hop notes but tastes like a pale ale after that.

Pretty hoppy with light citrus notes. I liked this a lot.

This a more smokey tasting IPA with nice hops and spices - Winter IPA.

Lucky guy. Grabbed some of the last Pow Pow at Ft Point today. I'm going to try to save it for the weekend to share with a buddy. If it doesn't make it I also picked up some Fort Point Pale.
