    dude! I could buy a case of PBR for that...and have money left over :lol:

    was in the hospital last weekend. I haven't had a beer in 11 days. I think it's time.
    The older I get the more I spend on stuff that doesn't collect dust.
    I go to a liquor store that just started stocking craft beer, and several cashiers have almost gone into shock
    when I bring some of this stuff to the counter, so ,maybe, the prices are silly.
    YEAH to being out of the hospital, and enjoy your cheap beer.
    I have to take pics of what I have cellared for you.  Some goodies in there!

    Went to Greenbush (again) this weekend and decided to go a bit further into the mitten to check out a newer brewery called Transient. They have a ways to go with regards to better decor and food, but their beer is solid. Good stuff and recommended.

    It's New England style IPAs.....double IPAs that are dry hopped.  They have a "hazy" appearance....some almost look like orange juice.  It seems to be the new craze in the craft beer world.  This sums them up nicely....

    To add to this they are not always double IPAs though I guess it's up to the individual to decide at what point it's a double.
    They usually add a flocking agent like corn and or flour to create a haze.
    They also tend to be more juicy then hoppy/bitter
    Sometimes the keg or bottle or can needs to be shaken to get that hazy effect.
    you love the bitter/hoppy IPAs that come out of the west coast, Colorado, etc these are different.

    Ahh yeah, I meant to say that they are usually doubly dry hopped.  I don't know what the hell that even means, but I do know that these beers taste damn good!

    A lot of the "better" New England style IPAs are very regional and not getting wide distribution. In my area the beers from ODD13 in Lafayette, CO are in demand. As for an actual New England style IPA from New England I would recommend Lawson's Sip of Sunshine.

    I ate the cheese curds this weekend and wanted more before they were even gone.
