Local Craft Beers & Breweries

[FreddyMyers]

attempt to generate any traffic.

Work at a craft beer bar in jersey and wanted to know if anyone else in here is into good ass beer or what their favorites are out there.

Breweries n brewpubs within a short drive of me: Flying Fish, Cricket Hill, Carton, Kane, Riverhorse, Basil T's, Harvest Moon




Feel free to move this to the drinking thread if it seems fit.

I have a feeling newb and I will be doing the heavy lifting in this thread :D

As far as local Midwestern breweries, I love Founders, Hoppin' Frog, Three Floyds, Great Lakes, and so on.

As will i. Heard of Great Lakes and Three Floyds-really good IPA's. Founders is def one of my favorite breweries. Just got in a small sixtel keg of KBS at work. I was like a kid on christmas.

The only one left in my state is Coastal Brewing...they make Newport Storm brews. Not my favorite. But Sam Adams is made just north of me....and I like pretty much all their seasonals. Vermont and New Hampshire have some great beers as well .Tuckermans is one of my favorites as well as Harpoon Ale. And nothing like a Double Bag from Long Trail Breweries for a little extra kick at 7.2 abv.

Gah, you're lucky. I've only had a few bottles of that, and that's only because I have a friend that manages a beer store and has some nice contacts. Where do you work?

That Double Bag altbier sounds great. I'm not sure if I can get it out here, but I'll have to look around for it.

I enjoyed this excellent IPA from Hoppin' Frog last night to welcome all the warm weather:

Just had a "meeting with the Bobs" so to speak about a beer called Saison du BUFF(Brewers United for Freedom of Flavor) that we're are getting at my bar. A semi collaberation between Dogfish Head, Victory, and Stone breweries in which the same beer using the same recipe and ingredients will be brewed at each others brewery. Subtle changes in the process should produce 3 different types.
Were getting kegs of all three beers and having a representative from Dogfish and Victory at the bar for a nite to explain the different processes each one used and what differences if any to expect. Excited for what should be good beers and a fun event. Wonder if they're hiring.....

I have seen that Stone Cold Steve Austin is working on developing his own beer. I'd drink it

I don't think wrestling fans would drink double IPA's, or hefeweizen's. It will probably taste like Budweiser or some other sort of gross urine flavored beer.
