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.

These are honestly some of the best beers in the world.

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.

Three great beers from Omni Brewery tonight.

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).

The best one I've had so far is this:

A neighbor gave me a bunch of Fat Tire Amber that they had left from a party. I can't find a reason to knock this beer. Pretty solid.

Dragons Milk White Stout

Ordered 5 different beers from Threes Brewing (local BK spot). We've tried 4 of the 5 so far. All are really good.

My wife has been loving a blend made at our local Casual Pint.

Deep River Limoncello Sour (NC)
Four Saints Black and Blue and Red All Over Sour (NC)

Those are local beers, but maybe you can find something local to you. Makes a berry lemonade that's actually a beer.

A Night To End All Dawns with Cacao, Strawberry and Vanilla Bean by Kane

I'm finding that I really don't care for stouts with adjuncts, especially barrel aged ones.

It's good. It's kind of like the blonde Stout from World Court but a little maltier?

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.

Can you get Legal Remedy where you are? They had a "Mocha Blonde Stout" last summer. I had it in Hilton Head. It was mind blowing.

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.
