I haven’t seen this yet but I am also thinking room temperature, not ice cold. It’s the vibe I get from the trailer I saw.

She pulls them out of the fridge door, Bammer. Don’t be absurd.

Maybe her fridge doesn’t work that well

that's probably likely. good call.

Fridge door is about as close to room temperature as it is to ice cold, that's why you don't keep your milk there.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this.

It has been a while but I recall it being a hint heavier than Prima along with Euro hops as well, pretty sure it's a Czech Pils and was a great American example of the style. I prefer Pivo, by Firestone Walker, to Prima but it's not like I can get that in CT anymore either.

We really need more of that Ed.

American Solera Pop-A-Top: IPA w/Cryo Pop Hops - no idea what the hell that means. It’s good though.

Cryo-Hops are, I believe patented, method of cryogenic freezing to separate the lupulin acid/oil from the plant matter. Ultimately it is supposed to bring more revenue through savings on using less product, much like straight lupulin powder or hop oil was. They are still pelleted after the fact like normal hops and sold in 11/22 lb bags. The Cryo-Pop is just a blend of such processed hops much like Falconer's Flight (R.I.P. even though you were a bastard) was a blend of various Pacific Northwest hops.
I feel they have been more than fine for new recipes, especially in the land of NE IPAs not giving a damn about hops in the boil, but as said economic choice of existing recipes it is not what they say it is. Better than powder but not a viable replacement.

oasisfan, are you...are you in/from Connecticut? I feel like I remember you saying you were. I'm asking because I checked out Fox Farm Brewing a few years ago when I went to visit my family. It was the only place I went to, but it wasn't bad.

If you are from CT, are there other breweries you'd recommend?

For some reason I thought our location was under our avatar here, clearly mistaken; I am from CT and am still here.

Firstly I'll recommend Thimble Island Brewing as a shameless plug but I do believe we as a state are on the cusp of 130 brewing entities so I certainly have recommendations but what are you looking for in said breweries, particular beer styles you enjoy?

PM sent.
