Six Point's Resin - REALLY GOOD double IPA! lots of hoppy goodness going on from start to finish in this one! Easily 95%+ (if not more like 98%) of what a Heady Topper does to my taste buds!

I found Resin more malty than HT. See if you can get your hands on some NEBCo Ghandi Bot since you are in CT. That is a DIIPA that in my opinion rivals HT. Their IPA (sea Hag) is pretty dam good too.

A top 5 IPA in my book.
Going to Sailor Jerry soon, going to give my boss 2 weeks notice tomorrow if she doesn't let me take a day off I told her about last month. August might be a liver damaging month.

I was lucky enough in that when I bough the 4 pack of Resin at my local package store, they also had a 4 pack of Ghandi Bot too (I got their last one! :) )

Both are excellent for sure, I think that in the end, and you can easily throw HT into the mix too, so much of what makes them so good for so many comes down to the various subtle differences that each persons taste buds gets along with all the hoppy goodness that they bring! :beer:

My wife now has me hooked on this Shakeology stuff. It's actually really good. It's like a protein powder + superfood blend. I make it in the morning with some ice cubes, chilled coffee, and PB2 (powdered peanut butter) and blend it all up.

Can you add Rum to it?

Baxter brewing had a beer tasting at a local farm. They debuted their new collaboration with DC Brau called "daughters of Poseidon". It's a black IPA brewed with oysters. I was skeptical. It doesn't suck. At all. ImageUploadedByAlpineZone1405633369.064377.jpg

A few years back, when I was still growing Oysters with Island Creek they teamed up with Harpoon to do an oyster stout. Same thing...very skeptical but it actually kicked ass. looking forward to trying the Baxter. Thanks for tip.

I tried shakeology but did not like the taste of the powder. We now use the nutribullet and mix kale, fruit with chocolate protein powder. Like that much better and I have lost about ten pound since we started. Now need to incorporate exercise but staying active helps.

Dogfish Head Noble Rot. Tasty, a touch geuzy, but not too bad. Pretty good. On par with expectations of Dogfish.

$$$ Very pricey but its certainly good stuff......the taste, well it used to taste really good but then they changed it and its not been the same since.
I cant afford $130 a month for it, its way way overpriced for what it is....Ya I know its good.
unless your a Beachbody coach and schlepping the stuff its not economical !!

Uinta HopNosh IPA, wasn't sure what to expect from a brewery in Utah. Pleasantly Surprised by the ample head, nicely balanced flavors with a good little punch! The 7.3 ABV was the clincher, had no idea it was a SLC brewery till I got it home. Would not be shocked to learn it has been mentioned here before. Tasty!

A Corona Light - while not the greatest beer by most folks top 10 beer lists, the fact I'm having it on a beach in Bermuda at my cousin's wedding reception makes it pretty good in my book right now! :beer:

Good stuff. Tough to find around here but worth picking up when available

Good beer, but at $13/6 pack this will probably be one-and-done.
