“Commonwealth Brewing Company is one of those modern craft breweries that has very few regular items, trusting in their ability to continually come up with creative, tasty, new recipes. Still, you can’t mess with success. When you really hit it, what’s the harm in bringing back the badass? Case in point …”

Read More“It’s happening! It’s happening! And, to be honest, any reasonable observer could guess that it was just a matter of time. The New England Style IPA has spread so much of its unfiltered, hazy, juicy hand over the world of IPAs, it’s no surprise that brewers would start applying the same aesthetic to Pale Ales. As a matter of fact, we have a couple such APAs in our store already. So, how many hazy pales does it take before a quirky outlier becomes a new sub-style? We don’t know, but the Hudson River Valley’s Industrial Arts Brewing Company has decided to nudge us closer with what they call a ‘Northeast Pale Ale’ …”

Read More“Let us be clear about one thing at the start — we are totally down for a snazzy, new, hazy, juicy IPA. However, sometimes you just want to dive into some old-fashioned hoptastic bitterness. So, it’s a good thing that Jackie O’s Pub & Brewery from Athens, OH makes a tasty West Coast Style IPA. (That’s right … Ohio!) …”

Read More“Aslin Beer Company has made quite a name for itself in Northern Virginia. For its first few years it was able to create a following just through direct sales from its Herndon facility and through placement in a few restaurants. However, the brewery that The Washington Post once called “the best brewery you’ve never heard of” is well and truly out of its small mold with tasting rooms in Herndon and Alexandria and with distribution to little old us …”

Read More“Those magical, mad brewers at Stone Brewing Company have been putting out their ‘Enjoy By’ series since 2012 — featuring fresh IPAs with a “drink by” date guaranteeing maximum hop freshness. Each brew has been a lupu-licious offering to the Altar of the Hop, and in all that time they’ve never done a New England Style IPA … until now …”
