They are an untappd verified venue, so I would take the app, look at their whole menu and sort by rating. Just go down and get what I haven’t had.

Twin Cities beer scene seems to be blowing up for Fair State Spirit Foul and Insight Terror Bear tonight. Only had the former, it's good, but prices are kinda out of whack with reality.

When in Georgia, it's worth picking up a sixer of Terrapin's Golden Ale. That stuff was good.

When I was in Atlanta last week I was in a Total Wine and grabbed three of their four Sierra Nevada Beer Camps, two given as gifts. The Raspberry Sundae from The Bruery sounded kind of gimmicky so I drank it early to get it out of the way, but it is a terrific beer.

my favorite insane beer story of the moment is about these guys: https://www.instagram.com/vitaminseabrewing/
check out their instagram! looks pretty legit, lots of glassware and cans and merch....except they're a homebrewing operation, straight up. they just did one collaboration with a real brewery that was sold. other than that, if you send them a message, they will supposedly give you some free beer if you can get to hull, which is literally the most isolated town in metro boston:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Hull%2C_Massachusetts_aerial_photograph.jpg/300px-Hull%2C_Massachusetts_aerial_photograph.jpg
they claim to be "in planning" but there's no evidence that they've taken steps to secure a location or do anything that would resemble starting a real business. their main project seems to be generating hype via repetitive posting and untappd checkins. so the local scene is divided into people saying "hey, this is kind of horseshit" and avid fans whose main argument seems to be that they met these guys in line at other breweries and thought they were cool.

From Ohio: Madtree (wide range) and Urban Artifact (mostly fruit beers - kumquat and such) are both really good.
I’m a big fan of Braxton, right across the river from Cincinnati in Kentucky.

Not that rare, but a nice buy and keeps well.

Tried all the variants at a tasting tonight and the proprietors is awesome. Who knew that a beer inspired by bananas foster could be so good.

yea jackie o's otm
great lakes is very reliable
anything from columbus brewing is pretty good generally
platform is extremely hit or miss, they just brew too much beer, they have a new beer like every month and most of them are terrible ill-advised experiments with fruits and spices
rhinegeist from cinci has some good beers

Had a Goose Island flight (w/BCS) last night, followed by an 8 oz pour. I think I like Founders Backwoods Bastard more.
― nickn, Friday, 1 December 2017 17:51 (six years ago) link
my sis came to visit recently for 10 days and we managed to hit 16 breweries, San Diego and AZ. Favorite of the San Diego ones was prob AleSmith. Liked the feel of the place (warehouse-y is always better than "shhh we're actually a restaurant that brews beers, so ha good luck finding a table or spot at the bar if you just came to drink" places), the beers I tried ranged from good to all-time top 5...and it was taco tuesday so there was a taco truck parked by the outdoor patio serving some of the best tacos I've ever had.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 1 December 2017 18:29 (six years ago) link
AleSmith is good. I've never been to the brewery, though.
xp I will attempt to overpay for CBS today, but I fear that I'll run into the same problem of "this is great, but backwoods is cheaper and better."
― crocus bulbotuber (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 1 December 2017 18:44 (six years ago) link
if you're in Los Angeles, on the east side specifically, 365 has a ton of bottles of BCS, the Northwoods Stout, and the barleywine (10.99, 22.99, and 13.99 respectively.)
― omar little, Friday, 1 December 2017 21:54 (six years ago) link
got two 750 ml of CBS at 25 a piece. one is a christmas present, at least :-/
― crocus bulbotuber (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 1 December 2017 22:07 (six years ago) link
Per 12 oz bottle, omar? I've been buying the backwoods for 14.99 for a 4-pack at WF, so I'll just stick with that.
― nickn, Friday, 1 December 2017 23:32 (six years ago) link
All BCBS is in 16.9 oz bottles.

Drank too much good beer yesterday. All kinds of Half Acre Big Hugs variants, bunch of stuff from Side Project, several pours of Vanilla Abraxas. Nightcap of bourbon county.

Hey mister new jersey, where are you getting your mikkeler? upstate NY or the city? They don't distribute to NJ anymore.

you went to mikkeller? glad you liked it

(I know your name here isn't "new jersey" btw, I was just referencing that in case you implied you got mikkeler somewhere here in NJ where I believe you also reside?)

Don't think I've mentioned before my appreciation for the Founders All-Day Session IPA - packs a lot of flavor into a light-bodied, refreshing beer.

I had this incredible beer last night. It was translucent but called a porter. Hint of vanilla. Googling rn but I can’t find it. #tearsinrain

Ok- never mind I guess!
Anyway, favorite beer right now is Head High from Kane brewery in NJ.
