Yeah it's their new year-round IPA. Ended up finding it at Lord Hobo minutes later. Fort Point on steroids, basically.
I miss boston... I'm probably moving back up from TX at the end of year. TX tasting are crazy down here breweries host tasting and you can bring outside beer
On my way to Congress st in a couple hours. Picking up a Beaver Hat as well...Had a pint at Hobo at the Trillium event not long ago, thought it was one of JCs best so far. Waaaay better than Fort Point, and I love Fort Point...
Had it Friday night at the Dive Bar in Worcester, my first Trillium beer I've had and thought it was amazing. Defiantly have to make a trek to the brewery.
Picked up a growler yesterday. Drinking it as we speak. Neck and neck with Heady for the best non-Hill Farmstead IPA I have ever had and probably the best single IPA I've had, HF beers included. Just spectacularly juicy and tropical. I believe the brewer I talked to said Galaxy, dry hopped with CTZ. Not sure what else. Just a Galaxy bomb.
It's easily as good as Julius as well. Beaver Hat is approaching Edward quality and is as good as ZD.
I thought I read somewhere that it would be the year round IPA.
Pretty sure I read that too.
That's what they said at the brewery as well. It's going to be year round as long as their don't run out of Galaxy hops (like they had just done with Citra).
Julius never gave me a wow-factor like everyone else so I dont cared for it that much. Congress st is much better than it IMO. I found more similarities in the growler of Susan I drank with congress over the weekend.
No worries lol
Its usually accurate. A few times I've checked the website and the beer I wanted kicked by the time I got there.How up-to-date is the Trillium's site? It says Congress St IPA is on tap so I might make a trip to check it out (and getting another set of brewery-specific growlers)
I would love for this to last until Saturday...

I might be as well. Wonder how much they made/bottled.
Still seems very odd and totally against what they are about. 12.50 is twice the price of BA Framinghammer which is high in abv too. Seems they've saved some minor costs by reusing barrels. If they marked up the price so less people are interested in buying it then why offer a discount that encourages people to buy an extra bottle???? That's some weird reverse psychology.
We may see it as being spoiled but they are really calling out all the people that charge insane prices for even a 4-pack for their flagship. Pricing their beer the same as any other high priced BA beer on the shelf makes me wonder what they are thinking. I like them because they created competition for something highly competitive in pricing while still being exceptional in quality. Something this market hasn't really seen much of around here.
Hops are much more expensive. Wouldn't be surprised if something like Kiwi rising had the same ingredients costs as this beer. Though I don't really know what's in baby maker. Some brewers use other cheap adjuncts like sugar to hit higher abvs too
True but the time to age the beer is a factor as well. Baby Maker does use sugar according to Their website.
