It’s so good! A definite go to for me

 

I need a good rec for what to pick up for the weekend. I'm not an IPA guy, thanks in advanced !

 

Dang @Dog with a Blog those sound good

 

Tired Hands was a bit underwhelming this weekend

 

I LOVED this when i visited the bay area

 

Just cracked open a Fonta flora hope beard that I bought from the brewery. No can date and it tastes old.

 

Shoutout to the peeps that shared the Boston recs!

We went to Trillium, Hopsters, Harpoon, Night Shift, Down the Road. Each place had a lot of unique options. I gotta say, my favorite was The Newtonian IPA from Hopsters.

We stopped in Boston on our way to Iceland and we went to a handful of breweries there: RVK, Olvisholt, Olverk. Olvisholt was our clear favorite as they allowed us to sample beers they were working on (peach sour!) and gave us an impromptu tour of their facility. Their bartender told us that Icelanders haven't fully caught on to the craft beer craze, so it's usually the Americans that come over and keep their industry thriving.

 

What didn't you like about it? Curious, my friend is the assistant brewer there - always good to have some feedback.

 

I just wasn’t a fan of the selection this time out. Personal preference, not quality. I did not like the Red Bean IPA, though. Respect them doing something different but it was too malty for me. Was hoping for some weirder selections. The Nebulous Dawn Plum pilsner was dope, though!

 

Gotcha, makes sense. I haven't tried the Red Bean yet, but yeah the pilsner is great - almost too easy to put em down haha.

 

Also didn’t help that I had a cold lol. My taste was all fucked up. I’m hype for the arcade room to open. I had a few too many and tried to wander back there to play The Simpsons a few months ago

 

haha yeah its gonna be awesome when the arcade opens. You go to any Philly breweries (assuming yes)?

 

I’ve been slacking. The new Yards space is cool but their beer is underwhelming. Neshaminy Creek’s Croydon spot is fun. We crush the Jenkintown one’s quizzo but the food is garbage and the beer is underwhelming. I Like Love City. Haven’t been to Roy Pitz yet but I like the beer. Need to make it out to Troon

 

Don't care for Yards beer? I don't care for all of them, but theres a few I really enjoy - I love their Tavern Porter. Haven't been to NC's spot yet, but do like their beer.
I absolutely love Roy Pitz. Good beer/good food. Keep meaning to make it out to Love City - might hit it up this weekend. I see they've got a couple hazy IPAs...I've been all about the hazy's lately.

 

Their darker beers are good and the Good Hope IPA is solid but their standard IPAs don’t do much for me, at least when I was at the brewery

 

Finally was able to try Pliny The Younger last night, lived up to the hype

 

Picked up two cans of Revolution Brewing Straight Jacket today. Super excited for it after hearing so many good things

 

My girl and I are going to review that on our podcast soon. Neither of us have had it!

 

What’s your podcast? And I just cracked mine open, and damn is it good. Not too many people really do barleywines anymore it feels like. This one is killer.

 

I’m excited to hear its good!

Our podcast is called Hops & Fears. We pair a craft beer with a horror movie and *spoiler alert* we plan on pairing Straight Jacket with In The Mouth Of Madness.

We are on SoundCloud right now Hops & Fears

 

This cost way too much money, it better fuck me up for the price



EDIT: Fixed formatting, posted it last night on mobile and didn't realize it was effed up xD

 

Odells Sippin Pretty is goooood

 

Singlecut really put the 125 IBU on the can?! Presuming that is a NEIPA DIPA, right?

 

Post-popularity Singlecut has been slipping quite a bit in my experience, unfortunately. This being a prime example.

 

Listen man I just drink beer, idk what this means haha
