THE BEER THREAD(?)----->!!!

[bigchiefbc]

I know I've had Old Peculiar that's been bought in RI, but I don't know from where. Sorry dude. Best beer ever.

Old Ales and pretty much all sour beers rock my world. I've had Old Peculier, but only in Europe.

I'm in the same boat with you and the "too much hops every-fucking-where."

But:

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

That right there is one of my personal top-5 beers on earth.

If I had my way I would likely live on that and Sammy Smith Pale.

I just wish I could still find Beamish...

camo 40's anyone?

Harpoon & Long Trail's standard IPAs may fit the bill for your English-style taste. Similarly, Green Man and Highland, but you may be too far north for them. Regardless, all quite good.

I've had every single beer Harpoon offers, and I'm going to be polite by saying they've never impressed me. Long Trail on the other hand makes great stuff. I love their standard ale, the Double Bag, the Harvest and the Hibernator. I'll try out their IPA soon, it's been a while and I can't remember my opinion of it.
.

This is perfectly fair. I don't love a lot of Harpoon's stuff, but that and Long Trail were my Bud Lights in college. Harpoon's Leviathan series (which you'd probably hate) had far and away my favorite stuff by them. Rock Art has some very good pale ales and IPAs that may be a little more balanced, too.

[D.o.S.]

P-otttz knows what's good.

Also, speaking of Camo 40's, this is a thing coming to me in the immediate future:

After talking IPAs the past day or two I had to go buy some Hop Devil.

GOOD MAN. Drankin' a Dirt Wolf right now.

And a Burning River because it tastes like home

GOOD MAN. Drankin' a Dirt Wolf right now.

I really hope I can find some of that again. That shot was so good.

Did you try the Hop Ranch?

[pelliott]

Sadly, no. I haven't seen much of it around here. That's basically been their ever-evolving double IPA recipe, right?

[Joe Gress]

Sadly, no. I haven't seen much of it around here. That's basically been their ever-evolving double IPA recipe, right?

Yup. It was less hop-forward, slightly sweeter, and very refined tasting. Smooth and drinkable, less of a hop bomb. Not to say that it was a lesser beer, just smoother. It'd be the perfect summer DIPA I think.
