some damn good IPA's out there

[Peruvian]

Great Rhythm Brewing in Portsmouth NH is tasty.

Treehouse has a place in Tewksbury, MA as well. I’ve never been but it’s not too far out of your way.

[shroom]

appreciate it!

Definitive in Portland has been highly recommended to me by a buddy, at least the sours and ipas

[shroom]

good mention, gonna check that out tomorrow. austin street and lone pine were real nice, milkshake from lone pine was cream of the crop

[shroom]

sours at definitive were $$$. IPAs were solid there as well as mast landing

[EWG]

North Star v37 from New Terrain. Very solid effort. A big improvement over their Golden Haze which is pretty good to start with.

If you are in the area it’s worth a stop.

Mast Landing and Goodfire for sure. Barreled Souls in Saco is quite good and flies a bit under the radar.



Goodfire was pouring their DDH Prime last week which is damn tasty.

Been a while since I've had a good hazy - really like Elevation's Milkshake Duck.

Don't like much of Stone's stuff but their Enjoy by IPAs are usually good. This one is super smooth

10 Barrel All Ways Down DIPA: way too drinkable for a 9% beer. I'd like to hate on these guys for being sellouts, but this one is pretty tasty. I also love their westside Bend brewpub.

I also love their westside Bend brewpub.

We almost bought a house in that neighborhood about a decade ago. In retrospect, I wish we had. 10 Barrel and Good Life were still somewhat under the radar, and Primal Cuts / Growler Phil's was just down the street (half meat shop / deli, half beer store / taproom). Both cheap and upscale Mexican at the roundabout. Quick bike ride into town.

And of course Ale Apothecary, the reclusive master of sours.

[The AD]

Yeah, love that neighborhood. Haven't been to Bend since pre-pandemic, though.

[Ted Striker]

Me neither. And there was a distinct anti-tourist, anti-california influx vibe that I can only imagine is worse now.

Probably told this story, but the first time my wife walked into Broken Top Bottle Shop, she was wearing a Boundary Bay sweatshirt (not on purpose, just because she always did back then). The jaded guy behind the counter said, "whoa, Bellingham! Legit"

Roadhouse just purchased Melvin. I guess this is relevant to this thread. Maybe they can turn the company culture and tarnished reputation of Melvin around. I enjoy Roadhouse beers.

In the ski related IPA-off, Reuben's Crush The Slopes tops the podium



Everybody's Foggy Goggles takes second by a second



And Old Schoolhouse Fresh Corduroy takes third with a solid performance just off the leaders

Lots of ski-themed beers this winter. Bale Breaker also has/had one called High Camp Winter IPA.

Nice one. A newer brewery associated with Lost Abbey and Port Brewing

There’s a new pizza port?

[evdog]

Haha no as far as I know this one is just a brewery, don't think they even have a tasting room.

[Ted Striker]

Kings & Daughters cannot make a bad IPA



This one celebrating Belmont Station's 26th anniversary is particularly dank.

[yeahman]

Devil's Harvest Breakfast IPA from Southern Prohibition. Light and tasty.
