Huge beer sale at Market Baskets in New Hampshire.
A 30 pack for $14.99. That's less than 50 cents a beer, what a great bargain. The offer is for PBR, Miller or Rolling Rock. Such a great price I almost got all three. Ended up with the PBR, a 12 pack of Grolsch that was $3 off. The Stella Artois is for my wife, no sale on it.

Trillium Stillings Street Double Dry Hopped IPA.
One of the best beers I've ever had. Gives new headroom to juicy. Gloriously balanced with no dank or excess hop oil. Everything is perfect. However I was drinking it one day old, so it may lose pizazz with age. Luckily much more testing will be done. (At $20 a 4 pack it had better be good)
Anyone that is in Boston now should head right over. (Hint hint hint.)

Stillings street is a great beer. But it doesn't stay fresh for long, maybe 3-4 weeks after canning and they start to turn. The double dry hopped versions of their beers are especially vulnerable to that. It's still drinkable, just not as good.

Not to worry. I don't think any of it will see a 4 week birthday.

I'm headed to Burlington next week. Haven't been up there in ages. Any suggestions on the 3 top beers/resturants to try up there. We get to Warren regularly so anthing you can buy there is off the list.
Trying to see if we can hit Foleys on the way there or home.

Fiddlehead, Burlington Beer Co, Alchemist are my top 3 "in the area" Lost Nation runner up. Prohibition Pig (Waterbury) for good food and great tap list. Someone was telling me a newer place across the street is very good as well. For dining in Burlington proper someone else will have to fill in. Fiddlehead IPA is everywhere, but if they are pouring Second Fiddle, Mastermind or some other delectable concoction it's a must do.

Had to drive 20 miles to get Bud Chelada. Best beer I've had all summer.
If you like Bloody Mary's these are spot on. Get the Bud never the Bud light.

While at Niagara Falls this past weekend, I sampled some of the beers produced by the local craft brewery. Iceman liked their Lager and Amber Ale. In addition to those, I also liked their Peach Rambler and Beerdevil IPA.
