Re: Beer reviews and recommendations
In a completely unnecessary flexing of muscle, Moosehead beer has intimidated Hop'n Moose into changing their name. Hop'n Moose is now known as Rutland Beer Works.
I just bought a 4 pack of Foley Bros Prospect for $17. Seriously, $17? Foley is getting a little full of themselves, but it is good beer.
Madonna is a new IPA from Zero Gravity, well worth trying and not $17.
Farnham just canned their Milkshake #3, also very good.

Re: Beer reviews and recommendations
From Colorado, I wasn't able to score my go to beer [Hazed and Infused !!] So tried two others:
Avery IPA: This was very good. A bit potent and great flavor.
Upslope IPA: OK, but not as good IMHO. 7.2% and sorta knocked me out. Smoky flavor.

Looks like its going down no matter what I do !!!

Re: Beer reviews and recommendations
Not bad, not a large selection but nice place. They are canning now so you can get more than just growlers to go, I wish they had a bit better of a food selection, but I expect more from them next year.Stormchaser wrote:Anyone checked out Killington Beer Company at the Woods? Reviews?

Re: Beer reviews and recommendations
Good if you're from NJ or PA. Doesn't stand up to Trillium (MA), Grey Sail(RI), NEBCO(CT), Single Cut(NY), or just about anything on the 'good' shelf in VT.Stormchaser wrote:Anyone checked out Killington Beer Company at the Woods? Reviews?
If they grow into their VT peers then they will do well, but if this is the level of their future offering, they won't get any bigger than a small alternative on a busy Saturday.
Right now they pale next to Rutland Beer Works for hyper-local beer. Has anyone seen Roaring Brook lately???

I would too if it was 20 min from me.Stormchaser wrote:

The top 10 in VT though is equally good. Farnham and Zero Gravity, along with the usual VT suspects can stand up to Treehouse. I'm finding the batch consistency can be more of a factor as well when it comes to best beer of the month. Variety is better than loyalty when it comes to beer.
Re: Beer reviews and recommendations
Had 3 cans of Burlington Beer's Single Hop IPA w/ Simcoe hops. Crazy how good this beer is. I couldn't stop drinking it. Amazing. I would drink that exclusively if I could get it more often.

Re: Beer reviews and recommendations
IPA and Stout are best choices - it's a good place to hang out. They did a nice job with the room.Stormchaser wrote:Anyone checked out Killington Beer Company at the Woods? Reviews?
More food and furniture next year.
Re: Beer reviews and recommendations
I’m not even sure Sam could be considered a micrbrew anymore. Maybe a higher end macrobrew.Stormchaser wrote:daytripper wrote:How is Sam addams still considered craft beer? What is the cutoff to no longer be craft beer? In no way can I still call Boston lager to be a craft beer.
Article is not accurate...
Bud=macrobrew
Sam=microbrew
Tree House=craftbrew
Don't Killington Pico
