Dude, did you have the James Squire Hop Thief 6?
The new one (7) is good, but 6 blew it away.

About to have another Atomic American Pale.
$10 at Dan Murpheys.
Oh yeah.

Highly recommend the new Hop Knife from Troegs if it's in your area. It's described as an autumn ale but it's a nice well rounded, a bit dank, IPA. Fucking deliciousness.

I've only had it on tap. Copycat IPA and Hop Hog are my usual go to readily available Aussie beers. Mountain Goat has some really nice one-off batches, their recent Coffee Porter was pretty good.

I'm not a heavy drinker. Maybe a single beer a night or 3 at the most, one night a week so I don't really mind spending a little extra on beer, every so often i'll get a couple bottles from here if I didn't have a financially draining week. Alcohol is just insanely priced for the considerably small selection here. :cry:

Another great San Diego brewery finally made it to New England. Trying my first Alesmith IPA later on this evening.

Man, I got some good beers right now. One of my all time favs, the New Holland Dragon's Milk (which I shall be aging half of a four pack), a Clown Shoes Fistful of Unidragon (Special bourbon barrell aged version of their "The good, the bad and the Unidragon", which is delicious!), and a Brewdog Tokyo (18.2% alcohol!!!).

Kinda want to save these for special occasions, but they all look so good!

Where are all you guys?

God I love me a good Russian Imperial... This one is actually a pretty subtle pumpkin stout, its a lot more smokey than pumpkiny. High gravity but doesn't have that high alcohol beer taste.

Nice! This one's a 10% and I have not eaten yet. Fiance is cooking giant pieces of beef.

Warlock was a little too sweet for my liking.

Never seen that Shed before. New? Or maybe it just hasn't made it to CT yet.

Tonight I scored some Sip of Sunshine from my usual spot so that's what I was knocking back.

the Shed is new-ish? I hadn't seen it before. Pretty good. More malty than hoppy I think but my palate is a mess at the moment so read accordingly.


@Shaun: Doooope. Looks tasty if you like pumpkin beers (I do not).

I am listening to my roommate and our upstairs neighbor talk about why vaccination is a bad idea while they eat dinner in our flat. It has put me in somewhat of a sour mood, but I'm powering through it politely by drinking more and staying quiet/venting on here.

Next up on the list:

Dude, I'm sorry... At least they have no children to harm with their opinions.

How hoppy is that? When it comes to IPAs for me the hoppier the better.
