Have we had a BEER thread yet this summer? TEN YEAR ANN edition

ciscokid

What has been your beverage of choice in the off season?

Always was a Arnie fan and Seven Springs sounds good so I have gone retro

Found some good ones in a Otter Creek Sampler this summer. 

But I will always miss Catamount <<snif>>.

If the idea of this thread is Beer Brands that have a skiing connotation, I’ll offer “Tuckermans”, but this subject seems more typical of an AZ thread.

cisco you are giving me pains.  Pains!

You live in Michigan where you can get Bell’s Two-Hearted Ale at will, Founder’s, and a bunch of other great offerings and you post a photo of a beer now brewed at the Bud plant in NEW JERSEY.

:-??

Doh!! Sorry, Cisco, but I have to agree wholeheartedly with Rick!!

I am an IPA head. This summer (and for about 6 nonths or so now) I have been enjoying the Finch’s Beer Co. Hardcore Chimera. A delicious, extra citrussy, double IPA. Comes in at 9.0% abv (although you wouldn’t really know it by taste) and it is sold in a 4-pack of 16oz cans. IMHO, it is one of the best DIPA’s around and is probably The best DIPA for the money. ($9.99/the aforementioned 4-pack at my LBS).

Marc I haven’t heard of that one. Sounds good I’ll have to try it. Just happen to be at Throwback and Beara Irish Breweries today. If you are on the sea coast of NH I recommend them

We had several beer threads over the years on sj1

What’s wrong with a beer thread in silly season/ summer on sj2?

Are we better thanAZ?

This stuff tasted pretty good whatever it was

Oooh Betsy, I don’t know what that is but it sounds scrumptious. I have been thinking of visiting Burlington this fall. This may seal the deal.

Hmmm after reading the description it probably won’t be available in the fall. No matter, they have plenty of choices to try

Betsy

Their beers are Yummy. Wizard is good as is Chasing Rabbits.If you come to Burlington you should also hit up Fiddlehead, Citizen Cider, Zero Gravity. So much good beer up here.

I thought I’d share this with you guys. Since I couldn’t ski last January & most of February and to the chagrin of Mrs Ski_it, I made this little map in my down time. May be some of you will find it useful. Although it works poorly on the phones Remember to use it responsibly.Craft Breweries, Brew Pubs & Beer Bars of New England, E.

14th Star beer is also very good. A couple of NU grads started it in VT. 

ski_it

Dude, I think you’re showing your age. :) It’s now NEU if you mean Northeastern. I should know I’m one too.Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to add that one. Only 7 mins from Hard ’Ack.Joshua, do you like how I linked it back to skiing? :)

Couldn’t find Burlington Brew at Giant Eagle so I need to make a Wegmans run (BEST grocery store EVER!!) and see if they stock it.

Meantime, I’m rocking this stuff tonight!
