    Rye pils, nice, vegan, touch of grain, low rye flavor

    Lager, average, clean crisp

    Mexican lager, clean, sweet, grainy

    Blonde, average ho-hum blonde

    Summer, hibiscus color, citrus, a light summer beer.

    Easy peasy, session IPA, fruity, orange/tangerine, a better summer beer

    IPA, floral, sweet, piney, a solid IPA

    Dream crusher, great hop/malt balance, finishes well, too easy drinking 9.5, it's got rye, which is drying out the finish.

    Milk Stout. Average, good lactose/roast balance

    There is also a smoked tequila barrel aged beer that is a mess. Phenolic band-aid, waste of a barrel

    Forgot to take pictures last night but went to Backstreet Brewery. They do $3 pours on all their beers on Monday. Safe to say I had a few. Nothing standout but for $3 I'll take it!

    I had a single citra hop IPA, an APA which was light but very hoppy, a stout on nitro, and a raspberry Berliner Weisse. Also had a taste of a mango habanero hefe which was good. The habanero wasn't overpowering and provided just a slight kick at the ens

    Did you have a chance to try any of their specialty series? They have a couple I'm fond of. The IPA is usually fairly easy to find fresh around here and on tap at many local joints. Next time thru you should check out Lakewood if you have the chance.

    So... @DrFunker is helping me step up my beer game. Was nice enough to post a pic of all the breweries here in CT.

    Well... In doing some research if I meet up with @fatfurious2 I found one right here in Danbury CT.

    Charter Oak Brewery. Turns out they are relocating from somewhere else so they're not fully up yet, meaning no taproom. Plan on being all set in early 2018.

    Before I found that out, I found a number for them. Called, left a message and the guy called me back on my way home. Told me of booze shops where I can find their stuff, so gonna hit them up and pick up some to try.

    Let my beer game stepping up begin! :bananadance:
