You must be back home if your drinking Beer Tree! What do you think of them?
Back home to eat some great Italian cooking and then headed up to the Thousand Islands for a few days. We used to own a cottage up here. We had a nice memorial today.

First and only beer I've ever had from Beer Tree. I quite like this one. A nice solid neipa that doesn't try to push the boundaries like many others do.

If you are going through Watertown to or from the islands there’s a small brewery called Boots Brewing. The owners are friends of ours, the wife was college roommates with my wife back in the day. The husband (head brewer) is a Marine and former fire fighter (maybe a volunteer now), thus the name “Boots Brewing” given the years boots have been a part of his life. It’s worth a stop if you’re in the area.
Safe travels!

Comparing side by side. Color virtually identical. Miller High Life seems drier, I would guess it has a lower fg. Both probably have a percentage of corn. They taste different, probably different hops. Believe it or not it seems like Gene Cream ale is slightly higher in bitterness. There could be a yeast character difference, too, but I’m not positive about that as Cream Ales can be fermented with lager yeast.

I love to do side by side comparisons. Just amazing how 2 beers can be so similar and yet so different.
