I am going to be in New England this weekend. What regional beers should i look to try if I can find them?
Sorry,
posted this late last night after finished cleaning a brew session while checking the weather.
Heres more details.
25 th HS reunion. Last time I was there the drinking age in NH was 18 and my really bad fake id worked. I am hoping the statute of limitations has elapsed by now. I will be landing in Manchester and driving to Saxtons River VT. May fly out of Boston on monday. Proly no brewery visits but want a list of good regional beers to not miss if it presents itself.
Is dogfish a NE beer?
Dogfish Head is from Maryland.
First expanding from eight beer taps to twenty four, then thirty six, the Bear now features SIXTY FIVE taps with fifteen Maine Microbreweries represented including Five Taps in "Allagash Alley" that will permanently be dedicated to unusual brews from the Allagash Brewing Company. FOUR Cask Conditioned Hand Pumps are usually dispensing local favorites like Geary's Hampshire Special Ale, Shipyard's Old Thumper, Allagash Barrel Aged Beer or Sheepscot's Boothbay Special Bitter. The GLB also has a rotating array of Belgian and Extreme Beer selections. In The Great Lost Bear has been named one of the Top Ten Beer Bars in the United States by Celebrator Beer News, Barleycorn, Beer Advocate and The Malt Advocate. CHEERS Magazine has just name the Great Lost Bear the Best Beer Bar in the U.S.A. for 2008 in their annual Benchmark Awards Issue. All About Beer Magazine said, "This is our idea of a Perfect Bar" as well as naming the Bear one of 125 Places to Have a Beer before you die. Gourmet magazine said "One of the greatest bars on earth....the truly great GREAT LOST BEAR"
Great Lost Bear in Portland, ME (which is the beer mecca of New England) sometimes has something on tap. If you get a chance, the Bear merits a special trip.
Blurb from their site at http://www.greatlostbear.com/ :
I'm doing the same, visiting Connecticut (Hartford Area) and Massachusetts (Cape Cod and Boston). I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
No, not in NE but it is sold in VT.Ommegang's also not in New England...
If you wind up near there, I'd check out Novare Res Bier Cafe in Portland too. Great Belgian bar that currently is doing a Belgian bier fest with nothing but Belgians on tap. http://www.novareresbiercafe.com/events.htm
