Seriously? I've not been in that store for years. I presume you're being sarcastic though.

If im thinking of the right one it def has a nice little bottle shop with potential. But selection and turnover is on par with every other non randy GE in the area. From my experience at least.
its pretty impressive in context

It's definitely no SSMD, but I still think its better than most other MDs. The girl who runs it actually cares about craft beer and knows what she's talking about which is more than I can say for most of them.

I'm hoping to plan a short trip and looking for events, releases, fun things to do in New England in Aug. Open to VT, MA, ME, NY, etc. Obviously doing some research of my own, but figured it couldn't hurt to see if anyone here knows of anything cool going on.
Hiking mt Mansfield was probably the highlight of our last VT trip. Burlington farmers market and Ben & Jerry's were up there too. Burlington itself is very reminiscent of Boulder, CO. Franconia notch park in NH was awesome. I'd love to go to the crazy weather capital of the world, Mt Washington NH, but my wife will always veto that one. Apparently Stowe is only 2.5 hours from Montreal so there's that too
 
You guys must be getting some good weed up that way. :D
I don't blaze....but we get some green nugz for sure.

Drink your Nimble Giant Juice side by side the GB and let me know what ya think.

Love all the Fussels in NG but it's hard to deny the hop complexity in GB. But I think we have the "new" batch here in DuBois. :cool:

Da **** is GB?? I lost my TalkBeer decoder thingy

Edit: Never had one :(
 
How is the latest version of General Braddocks? I just never loved any of the variations the previous Brewer made.
 
Saw this in the post gazette regarding the new gimmick from church brew works. I wonder if they did any heavy metals testing on what they put in the brew kettle? Meteorites tend to be composed of different types of metals, some of which i wouldn't want to ingest.

Church Brew Works heats up

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary and international Asteroid Day today, Lawrenceville’s Church Brew Works is releasing a beer tonight that owner Sean Casey says has never before been brewed.

Asteroid Ale is a version of an old German stein beer, or stone beer, where the liquid wort is brought to a boil by dropping fire-heated rocks into the kettle. Only for this one, brewers Dan Yarnall and Justin Viale used three meteorites, about the size of baseballs, that they heated overnight in the brewpub’s pizza oven to 800 degrees. Then they submerged them in the wort “for instant caramelization,” Mr. Casey explains. The meteorites were not enough to bring the brew to a boil but were left in for the boil and the rest of the brewing process, which is documented in a video he plans to post online and play at the brewpub.

Their neighbor, Iron Eden blacksmith John Walters, made custom tongs to use with the hot space rocks and also fabricated a base to display a 900-pound meteorite that fell in China 500 years ago that Mr. Casey acquired.

Tonight’s asteroid celebration runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m., with the tapping of the hoppy amber ale at 5:45 p.m.. Mr. Casey just launched the website asteroidale.com and says they will brew this beer again and eventually bottle it.

I'm sure it'll be fine. But maybe rather than buying meteors and custom tongs for this he should save that money so he can pay his brew staff above minimum wage. Maybe then they would retain some talent and the beer wouldn't jump all over the place quality wise. Make Thunderhop great again!

Are we sure it's really a meteorite? ChurchBrewCrew
