Hmmm I see Alchemist and Treehouse on the list and plan on grabbing some Sip of Sunshine next time I’m in VT. Expand 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

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.

Whatnot78 Posted June 24, 2019 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.
707BillsFan Posted June 24, 2019 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

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.
