I am not an expert, but these dudes from my home town are making some special stuff. I can tell I am drinking their beers just by mouth feel. Carbonation feels a little more fine, like smaller bubbles, you know

They are crushing it and beer geeks making the NY to New England drive will always add the Charlton store to the itinerary.

I stopped in there when I was on my way from Boston to Cooperstown and thought it was the coolest brewery I've ever been to. The outdoor space with the hiking trails around it was awesome and the beers were some of the best I've ever had. I bought a case which I worked through over the remainder of my trip and brought the rest home in my luggage.

I miss drinking beer all the time and posting in the beer thread.

I've slowed way down in my old age, especially with IPAs.

:geezer:

There's a lot of styles of beer, it'd be nice to see more non-IPA options.

I can talk about sours and ciders til the cows come home

Sir, to be fair this IS the IPA thread.

I like Pilsners and Pale Ales but I'm out on much lighter and way out on stouts, porters and whatever Guiness is. I can't even choke down a sour.

I've been drinking more Hazy IPA's lately. A little softer on the palette, a little less harsh. I like them.

Michigan for session most popular is Founders All Day though it’s not my favorite. I’m still a 2 Hearted guy though it’s kind of strong for putting back a bunch of them. M43 by Old Nation is a great hazy.

I’ll second the M43. Two-hearted, can’t drink anymore

Technically it’s a pale ale, but I’ll nominate Three Floyd’s Zombie Dust. It’s my go-to, along with M43, and Wisconsin’s New Glarius Spotted Cow and Moon Man(anotherAPA), and Minn’s Surly Furious.

Three Floyd's has a collaboration IPA called Foggy Geezer and it's awesome. Can't get it in NJ, but had some when in Minneapolis and brought two six packs home.

Flying Dog brewery out of Maryland has 3 excellent IPAs. Snake Dog, Raging ***** and a steep ABV Double Dog that not only packs a 12% wallop but is also fantastic tasting....slowwwwly though

Hazies are gut bombs for me. Pretty much stopped drinking them.

I can only handle 3-4 of them. Any more than that and I'm risking feeling like complete poop.

Flying Dog moved brewing operations to Saranac up in NY. Heavy Seas is the current largest craft brewery in Maryland but they just signed on to a collab with Yards and Bald Birds(PA), Two Roads out of Ct with the thought being they may move brewing ops to Two Roads which is contract brewery. Maryland also lost Duclaw and Hysteria in last couple of years on top of Guinness pulling out. It's a contraction here in Maryland.

Actue sounds like an exodus actually
