beer Being Crafty

I thought it was funny, since they advertise it as being their "most palate crushing IPA ever". Maybe my taste buds are fried from too many ultra hoppy NEIPAs, but the hoppiness on the Oderville was pretty mild.

You clearly have a strong palate. Lol

Those clams look killer!

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Got two orders like to let them marinate a bit in the mignonette sauce and the peppercorns taste so good. So good with BEER!

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Oysters good too but slimy and these are firm so more like "meat".

Lemon and horseradish, or hot sauce for me. Nice and refreshing with beer.

I haven't ever eaten raw clams on the half shell, but I would definitely be down to try them sometime. I love raw oysters on the half shell, though. I eat them plain or with a bit of raw horseradish.

Cape Cod all week, then Boston last night. YOU HAVE TO STOP AT BUFF'S PUB if you're ever in Mass! Literally 30 seconds off I-90 (Mass Pike), exit 17. Voted "best wings in Massachusetts" multiple times. Also cracked the "21 Best Wing Joints in the Country" list. Good in-house IPA, brewed by Harpoon

"XX Hot"

Wheeew....

Hit up Buff's. It's worth it. Cash only

That one is good, for sure. You should try the DIPA version of that sometime, AKA doppleganger. Both are solid, though!

Blasphemy!

Blasphemy!

haha, I knew I'd catch some flack for that one Just not for me. It tasted more like a fruit drink with a beer aftertaste than the other way around. I do like a little citrus flavor on the tail end, but that was WAY too upfront for me. I'm finding that I definitely like the more hoppy/bitter IPAs.

I know Sam Adams Summer Ale isn't *that* "crafty," but that's about the level of citrus I really like. I'm definitely open for suggestions to alternatives

I still haven't gotten into the oatmeal/blueberry/coffee stuff (porters and stouts, probably?) that a lot of you guys like. I just don't see myself enjoying those styles too much. Am I drinking a damn beer, or tasting a breakfast cereal?
