Starting off with a local one.

Aside from their can release this Thursday, Aslin is also releasing a bourbon barrel aged maple syrup. I'm definitely picking one of those up. Some of that syrup drizzled on pancakes and bacon sounds pretty damn good...

 

[The Hot Pepper]

mmm sizurp!

Wow TGCM!!  Grant would definitely approve. 

 

[Grass Snake]

Trade 3 of what?

 

[Grass Snake]

Apparently we do have maples trees around, just not many. Nows is the time to be tapping too..

 

[t0mato]

It sure is. Same with birch trees.

This is very different than the last one. I like it. The brewer recommends drinking it right from the can, but I just couldn't do it....Grant would unfriend me. The mouthfeel is silky or even a bit oily to me but in a good way. It is completely different than the beers from OH, Aslin or BB butI am really enjoying it.

 

[t0mato]

Cool.

Looks like some dank hippy beer.

I didn't know you could sell beer on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/162401520464?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true

 

[t0mato]

wow.....talk about price gouging. 
 
First it was tickets.  Now it's craft beer. 

 

[Grass Snake]

Seen a couple empty cans selling for full price haha

 

[Grass Snake]

Guess it's not a bad price when you consider travel expenses

 

[tctenten]

Beers are cheaper in Vermont. $12.50 a 4 pack, that is like getting a beer for free.

Finally made to the local tap house place (is that what you call em?) and scored two howlers (fricken pricey!) $40.
 
Here's what i got
Enchanted Forest
This brew is an interpretation of a new and emerging style from the Great Northwest. A style that is hopped and blackened to boot! A hint of coffee, molasses, roast barley, and even burnt hop spice. A brew sure to grab your attention! Similar to a Dry Irish Stout with extra fresh hop character…or like an IPA with different roots…you be the judge.
~5.7% ABV
 
and
 

NomaCloud Triple IPA (Seasonal)
NomaCloud is a brew to celebrate our new location in the El Verano neighborhood of Sonoma. The bouquet or nose of the beer is a cloud of dank and pungent hop aroma. The front palette is slightly sweet with a twist of tangerine that helps keep the hop-malt balance in check. Heavy use of both malted and rolled Oats bring forth a smooth and pleasantly round mouthfeel. This keeps the body of the beer together until the bitter-sweet finish leaves you wanting more all over again. This exclusive, seasonal beer is dually fermented with our house Ale yeast and finished with Pasteur Champagne yeast for an elevated alcohol level over 9% as expected in a Triple IPA.
~9.1% ABV

Nice!
 
You probably had to pay deposit for your growlers, but at least you'll never have to pay it again because now they're yours.
