BringBackFergy Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I want to thank @Cripple Creek for finding the old beer thread....oh wait. He didn't follow directions ...AGAIN. Anyway, I couldn't find the old "Beer Review" thread despite many attempts in the current OTW or the archives. Maybe @SDS has a trick I missed in the search function. I used all the various possible search options but no luck. The reason for wanting to resurrect the Beer Review thread was because I tasted what was, perhaps, the best beer I ever purchased yesterday in Charlton MA. Treehouse Brewery in Charlton, MA makes some mighty fine brew. I stood in line for 45 minutes to purchase beer. When I asked the guys around me what was the big deal, they said they were releasing one of their all time best called "King Jjjjjulius" which is a double IPA. Only allowed to buy two 16 oz cans. The guy in front of me offered $20 if he could have my two cans. So then I went through their beers available while waiting in the scorching hot sun. I put a lot of effort into this purchase and went to fill out my paper (you have to fill out a small card, give it to the lady and she brings out your order). I ended up buying the two King J's, a case of SAP, a case of Haze, my limit on Doubleganger and their Imperial Stout (the guys told me this was one of their best stouts available). I had two Saps last night and they were unbelievably smooth, light hop, citrus notes like mango they say, but really slight...not heavy. At 7% it was a perfect drink for what I was looking for. I'd say it's comparable to Alchemist Focal Banger but better (if that's possible because I really like Alchemist beers). Going to try the Haze tonight before my daughter's Spring Concert....just need that relaxed psyche. Will have one of the King J's on Father's day. The guys in line were very knowledgeable I asked if the TreeHouse beers were too juicy (as I don't want to feel like drinking fruit juice) and they assured me they were not juicy at all...just right. For Patriot fans, they were spot on. Nice dudes and appreciated their recommendations. I was somewhat disappointed in the number of beers available and the tasting room for pours was closed that day. Can see myself spending a few hours in their alone. Also, most other times they have more of their selections available in can, but I picked a day with limited selections but one of them is their all time best (King Jjjjulius)....so in the end I'm happy. I'll try and upload some pics. Plan on going back some time this summer I'm sure (2.5 hours away).

In my early 20s, I started drinking Molson Export Ale. Loved it. After a while, it seemed like I could NOT find a 12-pack that wasn't skunked. Tried different places, too. Always skunked. Weirdest thing. That's when I switched to Labatt Blue. About 7-10 years ago, I switched to Blue Light and that remains my daily hydrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the same complaint. Maybe Molsen had that as a traditional brew method....let it sit and skunk before bottling. Can't go wrong with Labatts.

The Poojer Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I actually will contribute to this thread as i had a new(ish) beer this weekend(in fact i drank several of them). Alchemist, of Heady Topper et al fame, released Rapture in Philly and it was in a few places around town. best i can tell it's the first time making it in a few years. It was very good. i want to drink a lot more. Hey, that looks like my desk :-) 37 minutes ago, LBSeeBallLBGetBall said: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
