Davkaus Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I like pales, but the slogan tickles me. Everything between pale ales, IPAs, and a specific subset of IPAs? I can hardly imagine such variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New England IPA, Vermont IPA, East Coast IPA, West Coast IPA, Hazy IPA, American IPA, Tropical IPA, Double IPA, Triple IPA, Imperial IPA, etc. Most I assume overlaps and are just different names for the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted June 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2020 Had a refreshing Moscow mule after a run, then onto an Arroyo Grande single clone Pinot Noir with homemade pizza for dinner, following up with a Sonoma County zinfandel. I shall fall asleep with a smile on my face tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as sour as I thought it would it would be though. Bit like an alcoholic ribena with a tiny bit of bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where Vermont, also New England and East (not) Coast, fits in. So, definitely some distinction but also some crossover yes. Here's ours from Friday night: Don't worry though, we had four friends round to help with most of those. You might spot an addition to the background, which is a homebrew lager kit that I've dry hopped for the last 2 days of fermentation before bottling today. We were out last night so nothing more to add here. Edited June 21, 2020 by fightoffyour 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really, really need to go find a Holdens Golden Glow or if at all possible a few bottles of gods own Bathams to rid yourself of this (ludicrous) ludicrous beer obsession.

Might be worth giving them a call to see if they have any left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I can drink a stout in any weather. I'm out in the garden with another glass of that Oreo stout. Chilled though. I've never had a bad beer, or even a mediocre beer, from Totally Brewed, I'm a bit biased as they're a local one, but they're definitely in my top ten breweries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
