I've never had any of their Enjoy By beers. RuinTen is the shit.

It's definitely up there with being the Top 10 Imperial IPAs for sure.
Also got one of 17th Anniversary bombers. Haven't tried that yet.

Stone is just so incredibly good at everything.

I'm all for drinking local when I can....Was in the Dells this week and picked up a 12er of Ale Asylum's Hopalicious - very nice Pale Ale from madison. Also picked up several new New Glarus beers such as Stone Soup to give a try.

Sent some beer to a buddy in Ohio today. In a few weeks (meaning once my current inventory is low), he'll send me this http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/19544/50564 and this http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/341/33215 Damn good IPAs. Head Hunter cracks my top 5.

Hoppin Frog is available here (make good beers too - love their Boris RIS). Never heard of Jackie Os. In Columbus or somewhere else?

Jerks. I've never seen an "Enjoy By" in stores. I did pick up a RuinTen over the weekend. Had it last night for Breaking Bad. Also bought some Resin over lunch today. Have not tried it before. Anyone else had it?

I have seen it at a few different places now. I would rather have RuinTen though.

Resin isn't bad, but with so many IPAs out there it doesn't distinguish itself enough from the crowd IMO

Had Drink By 9/13/13 last night. Definitely think RuinTen is better. 9/13/13 smelled a lot better than it tasted. Good, not great.

Also, had a guy message me on Beer Advocate about a possible trade. He has six Pliny the Elder he doesn't want. He paid $17/bottle which does NOT include shipping He wants Anti-Hero and Daisy Cutter. I sold him that would be 10 Anti-Hero: 1 Pliny the Elder. Hell no. Who the hell pays that much? I had ten shipped from California, and that came out to $10/bottle, which includes shipping.

Spent some time in the Chicago area for a week and used this thread as a good reference. I think this was my rundown.

Three Floyd's:
Robert the Bruce
Two Brothers:
Hop Centric IPA
Resistance IPA
Cane and Abel
Revolution:
Anti-Hero IPA

All were good. Anti-Hero was probably my favorite. I wish they distributed out here.

There is a local bar that drives up to Vermont to buy Heady Topper. I need to go there. Any other east coast beer recommendations?

What do they charge? Read an article while we were in Vermont that some NY bars will charge $20/can. That's insane.

Flying Dog is out of MD. Most of their stuff is pretty good. If you can make it to Vermont, do it. So many great beers there between the aforementioned Heady, stuff from Hill Farmstead and Lawson's. I absolutely loved it there and can't wait to go back.

Here's the top-50 in your region. Poke around on BA to find some more stuff. I honestly don't know a ton of NY beers. Resin is really good. Sold here, but I know it's made in NY.

Pretty good stuff right there.



Off the top of my head:

Dogfish Head (DE)
Southern Tier (NY)
Brooklyn Brewery (NY)
Great Lakes Brewing Company (OH)

My wife said the Heady Topper was $9 a can. This wasn't in the city though. I had told her to look to see if it was on the menu, and instead she bought it and told me how good it was.

I don't need to do anything to your phone. Trust me.

I've walked past Dogfish Head 60 Minute in the grocery store a bunch of times. I didn't even realize it. Brooklyn has some good ones too.

It's still a little young but the Long Island brewing scene is really starting to grow. There are a ton of breweries out there and they seem to be growing fast and showing up all over the city.

Love Brooklyn Brewery.

If you're able to locate some good canned IPAs/DIPAs sold out there, I'm sure we could swap. So much easier to pack and ship cans. Anti-Hero is everywhere here.

Apologies if I missed it but tried the Two Brothers Sidekick Very Pale Ale. Delicious. Add it to their list of amazing beers. Only disappointment from them is the Prairie Path at this point.

Love that. Perfect summer beer.

I'm not a bigfan of their lower end beers (Prairie Path, Domain Dupage, Ebel Weiss), but the rest of the lineup is solid. I can't wait for Heavy Handed in the fall.

Wasn't gonna kill ND's buzz. Only things I really like from Two Brothers are Sidekick and Laughing Panda. Have not had Heavy Handed.

Not buzz killing at all. People like what they like.

I really enjoy the Ebel's Weis.

Cain and Ebel is one of my very favorite beers.

Having a draft 9.13.13 right now waiting for my wife to finish a speech down the street.

I'm thinking about buying Stone Brewery and putting it in one of my kitchens.

RuinTen is better but RuinTen is also my favorite beer ever. At the moment.

Good stuff.
