time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

[ThatVideoKid]

Is it a new hampshire brewery?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Nope

 

[bragona71]

Is it a New Jersey brewery?

 

[ThatVideoKid]

New Jersey doesn't border VT! New York Brewery?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Nope Nope.. there's only 1 state left that borders Vermont...

 

[BigMack]

Jack's Abby House Lager?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Jack's Abby House Lager?

NAILED IT! I really liked this beer. If they packaged this in 6 or 12 packs and distributed it to Chicago, I'm pretty sure it would always be in my fridge.

I've had their Hoponius Union and Leisure Time and they were both definitely good brews.

 

[BigMack]

Alright Give me the beer and brewery.

 

[MrFeltimo]

American pale ale?

 

[BigMack]

American pale ale?

It is not an APA.

 

[drainbamage]

Saison?

 

[BigMack]

Saison?

That's a negative Ghost Rider. You're getting colder.

 

[MrFeltimo]

It is not an APA.

But it is an IPA, right?

 

[BigMack]

But it is an IPA, right?

It is a DIPA. And an absolutely glorious one.

 

[MrFeltimo]

West coast USA?

 

[BigMack]

The brewery is on the east coast.

 

[BigMack]

It is a brew from my home state if that helps.

 

[ThatVideoKid]

Freak of Nature?

 

[BigMack]

Freak of Nature?

Yes indeed. One of the best beers in the state. You're up!

 

[ThatVideoKid]

Not many picture of beer on my new phone...and I want to keep this rolling, so you guys get the hint of what the brewery is! (I don't think it will help much though). Just looking for style here, and if you come up with the name I'll be amazed.

Also why does it have to make every vertical picture sideways :smack:

 

[drainbamage]

Scotch ale?

 

[ThatVideoKid]

Nope!

 

[BigMack]

Is it a Brown Ale?

 

[ThatVideoKid]

Nope!

 

[hanuswalrus]

Dunkel

Rootbeer?

 

[drainbamage]

Are there any adjuncts?

 

[BigMack]

Is it a red ale?

 

[MrFeltimo]

Esb

 

[ThatVideoKid]

I apologize guys, working for NBC Sports can end up being some loooong days. No to the Dunkel and the ESB, and I don't know in this example but adjuncts would not be out of the style.

 

[drainbamage]

Dubbel?

 

[ThatVideoKid]

Nope! I have only ever known these guys to brew American of British styles

 

[BigMack]

And its not a red ale?
Is it a stout?

 

[ThatVideoKid]

Oh yeah not a red ale or root beer either!

 

[BigMack]

Is it a traditionally darker beer, or is this iteration just a dark interpretation of the style?

 

[ThatVideoKid]

It it a little darker than what is "to style", but not darker interpretation. Commercial and homebrew examples of this style vary a lot in that category, but are never in the light or black colors.

 

[ThatVideoKid]

Okay well here's a hint guys, there are very few commercial examples of this style

 

[BigMack]

Robust porter?

 

[ThatVideoKid]

Nope! But on that note, I have to say I'm enjoying a Smuttynose Robust Porter right now, it's fantastic
