I'd go out of my way for it but an hour+ wait?? Founders All Day IPA has a similar profile. Easier to acquire. I doubt that brewery would be happy to hear you compare the two LOL. And I am with you, I ain't waiting for a beer! Too many good ones out there. 4 hours ago, swnybillsfan said: i think i have only ever had the 60 minute ipa from dogfish head. i thought it was good, but not great. a while ago i had sampled some beers from the Ohio Brewing Co. there were some damn fine beers there. damn fine. The 60 in the can is the perfect beer for me for an everyday beer. Not expensive, tastes just fine right out of the can, at 6% can drink more than a few. Is it the best IPA out there..no way, but for what I want out of it it is perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) In Va Beach for the holiday, decided I needed a break from MIL so went to the new smartmouth “ pilot house” on 32nd. Like so many “ brewery/tasting rooms” not really conducive to meeting and talking to folks if one walks in solo. No bar , just big room with some tables. As always, to many beer geeks like @thepoojer?, too many hipsters, and not near enough, if any , attractive young ladies to oogle. Nice patio though, and would recommend if you are in Va Beach for family vacation and need a break from the family! Beer is is great though , but must say their saison and hef much better than the hoppier beers I tasted. Should mention, the price is right too! $4 for a 160z pour!

Ned Flanders Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Devil's Backbone, a Virginia brewery, just put out Earned Run Ale in the DC area, a session pale ale that was only available at Nats Park last year. Comes in a pack of 4 16oz cans. Will also inbide soon in some Hennepin, a saision from the fine folks from Ommegang in Cooperstown. Great brewery and a very good ale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a terrific live music venue (with camping) just outside of Cooperstown. Saw the Avett Brothers there a couple years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sorta takes the small, independent brewer label away from DB but they continue to make some fine, very drinkable, products. If Mr. Budweiser showed up at my door with an open checkbook, it would be tough to say "no." I know some small brewers have told the big boys to go pack sand, and I respect them for that, but I also can't blame any business for considering an opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud has pretty much left all their acquisitions alone from what I understand..going all the way back to Goose Island. They just put their distribution/marketing/ production capacity behind the brand, but try to maintain everything else. These craft geeks that get all up in arms when someone cashes out can go pound sand..everyone would do the same thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Wicked Weed somehow became the whipping Boys of the whole acquisition thing. They got destroyed in the beer community, going so far as having to cancel their signature yearly event a couple of years ago. Granted they really didn't need to sell to the big boys as they were born out of big boys. Pretty much the principles came from the skincare product proactiv money. They still make really really good beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bought out Elysian here, and all of the existing beers have remained the same. The problem is that nothing new has come out of there for years that's actually good. They lost their head brewer who quit after the AB/InBev acquisition. Any brands bought by InBev are essentially "frozen in time" from the date they bought the microbrewer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Went to the Sly Fox Goat Races/Maibock Fest. They do goat races(obviously) and the winning goat gets their name on the following years Maibock.

I'm gonna try to cut out drinking until at least late June.
