    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.

    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!

    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?
