    Anyone going to be in Vermont this week, especially the out-of-towners in for the shows looking for something to do during the week, here's a good article on Vermont breweries.

    “Down the Road Dreamtime IPA” at Flynn O’Briens in Boston. This is one killer beer! 9% though so just one!

    @bbiggs what did you think of cheers?  Is that Sam Adams? 
    @malroth New England ipa s took me awhile to get used to but Now are my favorite.

    You have a keen eye, my friend! That is indeed Sam Adams (either Summer Ale or ‘76). I really liked Cheers a lot. I know it’s very “touristy,” but I thought it was great. Fun atmosphere. Lot of PJ fans. Honestly, everywhere I went in Boston was fantastic. Such a great city.

    I have to agree that I’m a full blown NE hazy IPA fanatic as well now. They’re the best.

    The key thing for the hazy IPAs is to drink them super fresh.  They definitely lose some of their flavor after a few weeks.

    Tried some stuff called Bettlefield from Avondale Brewing. Stuff was good!

    It is fall but it’s still hot as shit in IL so I can’t get on the fall beer train yet.  Soon.

    Big fan of Tired Hands so when I saw a Tired Hands and Jolly Pumpkin collaboration on an alternative Alien Church last night, I had to give it a go. Bad move. They made it into a sour IPA. Fucking garbage.

    Any of you guys enjoy the sours? That is where I draw the line. I hate how they'v become pretty popular over the last few years.

    Lazurite never gets old or out of season. 

    Is it just me, or does this stuff seem to have a strong effect?

    I used to feel that way about sours, but I got into them this year.  Had a few good ones....they can be pretty refreshing on a hot day.  And I have had a couple of sour IPAs that were pretty good....it was definitely weird at first but I kinda liked it.

    Another stop by four fathers.
    Had a bottle of Marty McRye and a crowler of Tallulah b. so far.
    Both really good. Really impressed by tallulah.  Brewed with 100% brett and peaches
    yet not a sour.

    I've tried a lot of sours.  Not getting used to them.
    Rather drink a diet coke.
