Has anyone tried the Sam Adams Rebel IPA ?
I like it a lot, it was at NAts Park for a while, but I hear it is not a great seller.  CCSP relegated it to one tap on the 2d floor and is pulling it.

9.75 for twenty ounces of Atlas 1500 at baseline brews in rf. Not a bad price. About standard bar markup. Don't know if that is the standard price and quantity for non crap beer at the stadium

Right price, but I thought the good beer came in 16 oz cups.

It's big and has a "20" on the bottom. Verizon center is 16 oz for $9

This might be the best sports deal around. Is it better than 24 oz modelo at rfk for $10? Probably depending on what you get at nats park.

Next Sunday I head up to the homeland of amazing beer, Vermont.  I am making a stop at Peekskill in New York before heading up to Waterbury.  Being able to drink Hill Farmstead and Heady Topper on draft is mind blowing, to me.  There is also plenty of hiking and other stuff to get consumed in.

I never thought I would take a vacation that didn't involve sports but this is a first.  I am also meeting a friend of mine up there so there is that as well.

freak it, go skiing!  Tuckermans still has a nice line.



High av risk though, so a few Heady Toppers first couldn't hurt.

Waterbury, VT

Ali for someone whose never been on skis in my life, would that be a pretty easy beginners course?

My nephew and I split a beer from Woodstock, NH.  A west coast style pale ale that was good.  I did not catch the name, but it is supposed to be a good brewery. It is near Loon.

I'm really enjoying Anchor Summer. I'll try the Sierra Nevada one next. Also gonna have Left Hand Juju, Revolver Blood & Honey (TX), and New Belgium Triple on regular rotation this summer.

My go-to right now is the Coors Light Summer Brew.  I know it's crap, but they are really good.

Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat is my fave so far. Not a fan of Sam Adams Summer Ale.

New Belgium is bringing back their Belgian-style blonde, Skinny Dip - but only in 12-count variety packs. That was my favorite summer brew for a couple years.

Georgia has a lot of stupid things (The Braves, their fans, etc.) but one of the dumber ones is the restrictions on the ABV of it's beer, thus rendering some of my favorite beers as elusive as Unicorn Semen. My friend just moved to New Hamster and was in Maine where he saw some 120. He bought the store out of stock and brought two down to me today.

120 itself is illegal in Georgia.
