Fiddlehead is one of those ubiquitous VT beers that's on tap all over the state but it gets over looked. I had a few FH pints this weekend forgot how goddamn good it is. Its a no bullshit, nearly perfect NEIPA.
Quitting time in 20 min. Might have to hit the bar for a pint on the way home.

some damn good IPA's out there
Outer Range brewing is now giving the NE hazy breweries a run for their money, and Weldworks a run for the title of best brewery in Colorado.
Their take-home offerings are pretty limited day to day but I’ve now had an opportunity to have cans of hazy IPAs In The Steep, Vert, Pastel, Steezy, Leave the Life Below, Blocks of Light etc. All excellent (blocks of light not as recommended though).
Really impressed by what they’ve pulled off in 3 years.
If you find it grab it.

Lucky to have girlfriends parents in MI and my folks in MA/VT so we’re stocked regularly. That combined with trips to CO/WY regularly we’re doing alright. Utah is getting better but holy shit TF brewing is charging $24/4 to go. They have a new fruited sour with lactose ipa releasing tomorrow. Will report back.
Right now enjoying an old classic with some Fall 97 Phish

So, that comes out to $6 a beer, eh?
Dunno what you pay for beers in a restaurant/bar where you are at, but here in Tahoe a "craft" beer (and this can be anything from a Sierra Nevada or Blue Moon to a nano or micro brew) usually runs between $8 and $10 at the bar, plus "resort" taxes. Toss in a tip and you pay, on average, between $10 and $12 for a pint.
"Most" of the small breweries in town charge between $6 and $8 a pint, with, again, a "resort" tax on top, so if you drink in (at the brewery) it comes out to roughly $8 to $10 for a pint.
So, in the end, paying $24 a 4-pack is quite the deal, imho

Oh agreed on the pricing, it’s totally reasonable, but when I’m home and can get a 4 pack from trillium, alchemist, Burlington beer co, outer range, etc for 21 max, paying 24 for salt lake beer that’s almost as good is a little tough, but TF has cornered the market

New beer day in Utah, TF’s berry fruited sour with lactose IPA. This beer has an identity crisis. Sold out early to-go, got one at the brewery tonight. Good, but lacked any IPA-ness.
Then hit fisher for the food truck, had a Piney Brown on draft which was A+. Picked up some of Beer #10 hazy IPA to go, really dang good.

TH is $24/4 pack??!! That’s absurd, I’ve got better beer at the gas station down the street for $14/4 pack.

Those sour fruited lactose beers are not IPAs, completely different animal.

Some of their IPAs are, that berry one was $20.
I agree on the fruited sour, they called out IPA on the can, but could have killed it if they just tried to nail the fruited sour.

I'm glad to see that Outer Range has continued to hone their products and put out great beers. I was impressed by their beers almost 3 years ago when I first happened upon the place. I think I have several posts in this thread chronicling their 2017/early 2018 releases.
Lord willin' I'll be back in range of their beers sometime in the not too distant future.

NEWPORT, RI—Regretting that he never got a chance to sample even a single imperial stout during his years abusing alcohol, recovering alcoholic Scott Rimer expressed bitterness Monday that he had the misfortune to reach the lowest point of his life before the craft beer boom. “Goddammit. I can’t believe I hopelessly bottomed out and made the difficult decision to clean up my act just months before small, dedicated breweries started gaining real traction,” said Rimer, who confessed to feeling that his entire time as a drunk was squandered pounding Pabst Blue Ribbon and Bud Light when he could have delayed sobriety a bit longer and enjoyed a wide variety of hoppy India pale ales for a while. “I wasted years of my life drinking Schlitz in shady run-down dives. If I’d only had a little patience, I could have been in a hip brewery with dozens of different styles of beer rotating on tap. The alcohol content is high—I could have been getting fucking hammered so quickly. The bleak, gray hellscape of my addiction would have been a lot more colorful if I had known about sours, lambics, and barleywines.” Rimer was later found in his garage, relapsed and unconscious, his body curled around an empty growler of a fruity and complex Belgian tripel.
