It appears someone has discovered a local secret.

Weyerbacher wasn't bad, tasted all the ones that make it here. They are a good winter beer.

I have been drinking my fair share of any Shandy I can get ahold of.

Watermelon shandy with fresh pieces of watermelon in it is the best so far.

Shandy = the weak crap you give your wife at the beach. Monks is a solid beer, as is Tiny. Weyerbacher, one of the older micro breweries, just keeps getting better and better.

Is the that the same as Leinenkugels Orange shanty. I had that and its not bad, who would have thought that citrus and beer make a good combination. Getting more and more fond of Troegs double bock.
8%, black as coffee and i serve it so cold its like a slush. Sam adams cream stout is almost as good as the troegs.

I went to the old standby last two evenings with supper - Guinness.

Leinenkugel makes a whole bunch of different shandy's. The only one I haven't been a fan of so far is the Ginger Shandy.

Shandy does make for a good beach beer, but also a good beer to keep in a cooler while working around the yard, I don't like drinking the higher abv stuff while running power tools or heavy equipment.

Love the "guinness blonde" the Black not so much ,has a bland chalky taste.

Our last batch of homebrew was a custom milk stout. It came out fantastic. Makes Guinness pale next to it.

Craft beer is energizing small towns and mom and pops businesses once again. NIce to see a reverse of the walmartization of everything including the beer industry. Im drinking almost exclusively locally brewed from within my own state. And its spreading. Seems theres a few shops in every town around here. Same for wine.

lots of southern tier on that menu. my son like their brews.

Trying a 10 Barrel Brewing Estonya right now. It's a strong (11.9 ABV) Baltic-styled porter aged in whisky barrels. Not bad and it keeps on developing with each sip. I like this better than the Deschutes Abyss I tried a few days ago, but it's a sipper, with almost the alcohol content of wine.

Tasting homebrewed blueberry cream ale today. It's the first time I've done a fruit in the secondary ferment. Happy to say this is a winner.

as some of you already have i just tried a couple or 5 allagash white. it tastes a lot like hoegaarten excellent beer. this post is great. keep it coming. bg how did you add the berries? did you boil or throw in raw in the secondary? we have a local out here wachusett blueberry. nice beer.

I've been drinking these beers lately. Not super local to me, but brewed within 50 miles and readily available locally. Good light brews for the summer.

I had a couple awesome brewery sessions this summer.

1. My buddy is a brewer at the Port Jeff BrewING Company. So one Saturday night while drinking some beer with another friend the brewer gave us a tour of the place. Small local operation but really glad they're here. http://www.portjeffbrewing.com/main.htm

2. My wife and I saw the Lumineers play at the Ommegange Brewery in Cooperstown NY. That place is incredible. They have a stage in the back of the brewery. There is an open field which used to be a Polo field that opens up into a natural amphitheater. The whole place is carved into a mountain. Here's a picture from the very back of the place.

I like their Sophie. Matilda and Pepe Nero are okay. Their other offerings are not in my wheelhouse.
