18 Pliny the Younger expected to be at Russian River in the first or second week of February. Which by my calculations should put it in Philly around the third or fourth week of February.
The country's best beer is from N.J., says top beer magazine
The sour blonde ale from the brewery's barrel-aged series was number one on the magazine's top 100 rated beers of 2017, and the brewery, located at Cape May Airport in Lower Township, was named second runner-up as the nation's best brewery.

All of the Natty Greene beers that I’ve had are really good. When I moved to Charlotte 11 years ago there were no craft breweries here. Olde Mecklenburg Brewery was the first and now there are several. All of the ones I’ve tried are good. If you like IPAs try NoDa Hop Drop and Roll. Asheville is a beer town and has lots of great breweries there: Highland, Catawba, Wicked Weed, Blowing Rock, etc. Some west coast breweries also now brew there as well (New Belgium, Sierra Nevada). NC has some other great brews (Lonerider in Raleigh, Duck Rabbit, etc.) but I’ve no idea whether any of these are available outside NC.
Also can’t go wrong with anything from Founder’s, Ballast Point, Southern Tier, San Smith or anything brewed in Belgium! Also had a Brazilian black beer called Xingu which was really tasty and Belizean stout called Belikin which was really good, but may not be available in the US. Cheers!
Nearly every Imperial Stout by Prairie is world class. Any luck finding 18 Sump yet? I scored some more BA Victory at Sea and Willettized in the meantime. Also got a few bottles of Flying Fish Exit 17...RIS aged in Dad's Hat Rye Whiskey Barrels.
I heard NY may start getting 18 Sump next week or the following week, but it could be a week or 2 later.
Last time I was in Charlotte (about 2 years ago) I made a visit to Triple C and most of the bars and restaurants offered a good selection of other locals like OMB, NoDa, Birdsong, and Sycamore.
I lived Charlotte from 98 to 02 and the areas where these breweries are located have changed tremendously. Although NoDa was a hipter-like spot back then, it was maybe a block with the surrounding area not very safe.
I found Bible Belt cans today in South Philly...and another 6 of Willettized. BA Heavy Boots of Lead has been spotted in the area as well...hoping to score some of that.
Managed to find a bottle of BA Old Rasputin. Gonna crack that open at some point.
South Jersey getting Westbrook now. First time I've seen them in the Philly metro area. Also Omnipollo, Evil Twin and Against the Grain. Twelve Percent handles distro for those breweries, and am thrilled to finally get Key Lime Gose and Mexican Cake locally. Found them at Wegmans in Mount Laurel today.
Managed to try Westbrook for the first time last night. Their IPA was decent, nothing special but LOVED their Gose. Might be a new go to Summer beer for me. Can't wait to get Key Lime Gose and Mexican Cake Imperial Stout.
Anyone here try Foreign Objects IPAs yet? Haven't gotten around to it personally but heard they were legit.
Thanks big. Good to know I can get these at wegmans. Sure you're tracking your beer selection. How many have you tried?
I'm on Untappd and am closing in on 1900 distinct beers. Seems like a lot but I have friends over 5k now.
Fade to Dopplebock is already in 16oz cans at the Brewery. Misadventures and Missteps will be bottled soon. It is available in 32oz crowlers too.
Both are only sold there.
A few places in Philly managed to get cans of Focal Banger and Heady Topper this week. 18 Sump and 18 Hop Juju here this week as well.
Just has Avery Tweak, an incredible Imperial Stout, one of the best I've had, The Alchemist Sterk Wit was a tasty Witbier, Demented's Redrum was a decent rye beer as was Demented's Won't Bock Down, an ok Doppelbock. Blue Point's Citrus Plunge was juicy ipa goodness and Evil Twin's Soul Made IPA was delicious.
