Looking for advice on a route that could offer us a place to stop and sleep rather than pushing it to get in very late to Vermont. Would prefer a spot that has a good craft bar or brew pub - we w...

Beer is a thing to be enjoyed with friends at home and at bars. I think beer lovers come to a site like this for news and to hone their ability to describe what they're tasting... less so to unnecessarily tell each other that they really love beer. I assume anyone who creates a user account here lov...

I just got back from there and yes they've moved the price up to $30. I did a flight instead. Wow their Beer De Garde was very nice. So was the Evil Twin collaboration brew. I was impressed with Bellwoods and will head back! Too bad about the huge price jump on the Westy 12s though. The server said ...

Wow that's very reasonable compared to what Volo was charging, I think they said $35 or so when I last asked.

Adventures with 120 minutes of WOW (Dogfish Head IPA)

http://i.imgur.com/y9YqG.jpg It's a famous beer with a big reputation and it's far from universally loved. Many can't deal with the overwhelming super sweet orange and pine flavour that jumps out. The beer defies you to put it in a category, which suits Dogfish Head just fine. I met Sam Calagione a...
