Hmmm I see Alchemist and Treehouse on the list and plan on grabbing some Sip of Sunshine next time I’m in VT. They all seem like "famous" beers..i know nothing about homebrewing but maybe those have the most reliable recipes? Tank 7 is my favorite on that list..but at 8.5% it is not in my best interest to keep a lot of them in my fridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I see Alchemist and Treehouse on the list and plan on grabbing some Sip of Sunshine next time I’m in VT. That list is just plain dumb. You can get Sip o Sunshine basically anywhere now. Instead of a 518 lunch this summer, we should do a 518-802 Beer tour. That would be a lot of fun. https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/20681/237200/ Had a few of these ^^^ last night at the advice of the bartender. Great beer to have with dinner. Outstanding depth of taste for an American style Ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatnot78 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Bells no longer distributes to VA thanks to the idiot distribution people. So now I have to get my 2-hearted and Hopslam from family in NY or when I go visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
707BillsFan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I live in the land of Pliny, but not a big fan of the Russian River brews...Moonlight Brewery is down the street from our house. Everyone has raved about this gem for some time, but it's dark nature scared me away (more of a Pils guy, Moonlight's Reality Czeck is outstanding)...but Death & Taxes, a black lager is an excellent brew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to give it a try. I also don’t get the RRB hype. I didn’t think Pliny was anything special. Lagunitas is still my favorite. I discovered the summer lager recently and it is terrific.

We went tasting at the new RRB site and I didn't care for any of the beers I tasted (they weren't brewing STS at the new site yet). I believe both Death & Taxes and Reality Czeck are in cans at various locations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a few high level people who have left that have said it's not the same anymore (big corporate interference). It's no longer our little Sonoma County brewery, but as long as they keep pumping out good alternatives to their standard batches...I'm fine.
