Um, yeah, duh.
I might get roasted for this but I feel like Tree House, as awesome as it is, and inspired the NEIPA style, is widely available now. I live in CT and feel like I've gone from getting a couple good 4-packs to enjoy sparingly to only drinking the good stuff since it's so easy now with the online pay/contactless pick up.
I don't think anyone will roast you for this, Rob. Their "new" brewery in Charlton is huge, compared to what they had in Monson. The more Treehouse, the better. Also, I'm from Charlton, so not having to drive further is a plus.
treehouse became a household name because they were are the forefront of the "juicy" or "hazy" or "new england" IPA. but like all styles, eventually other brewers catch up and then get better. today, there are probably 50 different beers of that style that i would take before any treehouse offering. that doesn't make treehouse bad by any means. it just makes them one of many.
by the way, anyone in the chicago area that likes that style of IPA, Hop Butcher for the World is probably the best i've ever had. every one of their 7.5% offerings is usually a big hit, and that's saying something considering they put out on average 2 different beers every week.

I'm and IPA lover as well. Have you tried Brut IPAs? I'm starting the evening with one
Yes, the Mrs. and I really like the style (which has totally been overshadowed by hazy / NE IPAs).
Covenhoven (beer joint around the corner) is still doing to-go.
Filled my coffee thermos with Interboro/Tired Hands Word Play DIPA. Apparently this collab is no longer in production. Glad I happened in and grabbed some. It's outstanding.

One of the best things about beer in New York is distribution of Tired Hands

Yes, this is what I was trying to say a couple posts before this one. My wording was all wrong. It's great beer, but the market has caught up.
We get some in cans and some places have it on draft. But Wilmington is a local beer snob city so it's hard to find anything other than local as far as craft is concerned here

I wouldn't have thought that SC beer would be considered a travesty.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
