      I'll report back this evening, probably will end up having more than just the Fantome Del Rey.
      One beer usually turns into a couple when visiting the brewery.

        Pick up for the weekend. All rated pretty good, but have yet to try them.

                Went to a small tasting, grabbed a few goodies. On the left is a limited DIPA from VT. BTW Evil Twin gets zero love in MA. Not sure why…

                  Initial report on the Fantome Del Ray is that it's pretty solid, I'll post some photos tonight.
                  Ended up buying too much beer, don't have any more room in my fridge…

                      @Traser2g I am interested in what you think of the long trail. I lived in Boston in the late 90's and Long Trail was one of my go to beers. They didn't have many flavors then.
                      @Broark just means you have to drink faster.

                        @Sage954 I guess that's true, just need to drink more! I need to stop storing beers for later and just drink them.
                        Had this last night, pretty good sour from Avery. Nice full fruit flavor:

                        Made it out to Jester King, I really liked the Fantôme Del Rey. Lots of coriander and pepper as well as the oak from the barrels. I could probably keep a few bottles of this in my fridge.
                        @Seul if you want I can probably get you a bottle to see what you think!

                        Had some Funk Metal too, because whenever it's on tap you have a pour of it. One of my favorite beers hands down.

                        Made it back home with these Jester King beers, left to right:
                        Funk Metal, Fantôme Del Rey, Feral Dampf (brewed in collaboration with Local Option in Chicago), Intersection of Species (brewed in collaboration with Off Color and Side Project), Boxer's Revenge.

                        I was also happy to receive a very generous gift from @sabergirl which included these beers from the North Carolina area! Thanks again! Really looking forward to the Wicked Weed.

                        Decided to try this one out tonight, Wee-Heavy-er scotch ale from French Broad. Nice scotch ale without wrecking the palate. Really nice aroma.

                        And here's what I mean when I say I have too many beers…bottom and top are both full.  😞

                          Holy shit @Broark you weren't kidding. Do you eat or just drink?  @Sage954 I just drank a long trail, similar memories of their beer but you can tell they are trying to keep up with the competition. It was good to better than good, but probably didn't need a 4pk. The star of the night is the Founders Sumatra Mountain Brown. A real winner.

                            I pretty much only drink!
                            Haha not really, this is years in the making. Tend to eat out since there's a lot of good food here.
                            And most of the time when I do cook it gets eaten same day.
                            That Sumatra mountain is something else huh?

                              Glad to see the beers made it! A drop in the bucket compared to your treasure haul, but I hope you enjoy them.

                                  @Broark I love how your fridges shelf is about to bust due to beer weight.  I am getting more of that Sumatra Brown, last coffee beer that comes close is Night Shift Awake coffee porter. This is better. I also was eyeing a 4pk cans of Mikkeller IPA, think it was Simcoe but can't remember. The Citra DIPA is awesome so I may give it a whirl.

                                    ^Check the bottling date, but if it was the Simcoe IPA, buy 'm all…

                                    And yeah, Broark: re-inforce that shelf or drink faster... 🙂
