PBW featuring a couple new breweries in the area. Liquid Riot from Portland Maine and Monday Night Brewing from Atlanta. Many top breweries test their beers at PBW first before distro, like Deschutes did and Melvin.
Did you make the trip to Three Floyd's for that or have someone mule it on Dark Lord Day?
Since you live in Ohio, you might plan a Rutgers Football road trip (Michigan State this year) and stay in Grand Rapids to visit the many Breweries in town.
In my last trip to Grand Rapids (home of many Breweries and a Brewery map), we found Mitten Brewery(an old Firehouse). Other favorites are HopCat and Founders located in downtown Grand Rapids.
On Monday nights, Mitten offers both a Sampler Flight of Beers (choice of about 15 beers) and a Pizza Flight (with some very unusual pizza toppings) as well.
I really enjoyed the following Beer Flights last October:
- Relief
- Country Strong
- Harvest
- Doc's Noto
- 84 Imperial Red
Westbrook Key Lime Gose might replace DH SeaQuench as a go to Summer beer for me, and I might have found the poor man's FW Anniversary Ale with Boulevard's Grand Cru. It's a blend of their BA Quad and their BA Imperial Stout.
Is that in NJ now? I need an 18 bottle.Just stumbled across 3 bottles of one of my favorites (and enjoying one at the moment):

Dude, Dinner is fantastic. We had it in house twice this year. Can't believe you never had it.I was at Monk's trying to cross Maine Dinner off my bucket list. Struck out on that and ended up at the Eclipse takeover at Cinder...17 draft/16 bottle pours and $40 flights of Pappy 10 and 20.
Had Lunch several times, have never had Dinner. The Pappy pours were a good consolation prize. Tomorrow night Cinder has Parabola variants on...Rye Whiskey Coconut BA and Scotch BA. Dock Street is opening a second location I hear now too.Dude, Dinner is fantastic. We had it in house twice this year. Can't believe you never had it.
Text sent. Thanks for the heads up. Be up your way on Friday.@bigmatt718 text me.
Some beers you are looking for are coming in.
I think you missed it or else 17 came late in the year. I scored a few bottles and currently have two for my nephew in Milwaukee. It is a great beer.Is that in NJ now? I need an 18 bottle.
I came across the 18 earlier in the week. Nice heat from the habaneros, smooth cocoa flavor. An excellent beer, but not an elite spiced stout like Abraxas or Bomb. Still recommend it.I think you missed it or else 17 came late in the year. I scored a few bottles and currently have two for my nephew in Milwaukee. It is a great beer.
I was at both of those as well, if you saw a guy in a red Rutgers t-shirt, that was me. We eventually ended up at Khyber Pass where we had Scotch Parabola, which had a really good smoky, peaty flavor, as well as Heady Topper and Sanctification. Unbelievable lineup they had there. Can't go wrong during Philly Beer Week.I was at Monk's trying to cross Maine Dinner off my bucket list.

Cans of Alchemist in the city and suburbs galore. Stock up on Heady.I was at both of those as well, if you saw a guy in a red Rutgers t-shirt, that was me.

Yeah like 17 BCBS it's not nearly as challenging to find these days.Seeing more KBS this year than ever before.
Just visited legendary Trillium Brewing in both Canton, Ma and their Boston locations. Lived up to the hype. The best being Permuation Series #41 and #39. Great IPAs. Their Peanut Butter PM Dawn and Macaroon with Coconut and Brown Sugar stouts were off the charts among many others. Also got to try 2 beers from Toppling Goliath out of Iowa, 2 very good IPAs called Pseudo Sue and Pompeii. If you see these 2 breweries just buy the beer and ask questions later. Got to try over 50 beers in my 3 days in Boston, Hopsters Brewing makes some awesome stuff too.
All 3 have been spotted in South Jersey. Oberon is an excellent summer beer.Great news!! Thank for sharing BigMatt! Bells is one of my favs. Hope I can track down some Oberon, love the two hearted and the Amber Ale is really good too! Would love to pick some up for Fathera day!!
I had the Stone Enjoy By 7/4/18 on tap back in March. I am not a big imperial IPA guy, but it was very good.Just picked up these two. Bloero Park IPA and Stone Enjoy By
