Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I'm here for another #BeerSaturday post with a delicious and local NEIPA!

New England Beer Saturday

I wonder if I'm turning into an old man, in that I only really like specific kinds of things and don't waver away from it lol. I seem to be of that type with IPA's sadly! I love an IPA and tend to steer away from some other types of beer because I don't particularly like them as much as I like an IPA, so I don't get them too much.

When I was in the mood recently to get some beer, I didn't go to the brewery that I've got in the picture below here but I liked that place a lot, so I wanted to include it as a picture here :D I like 3 pictures per post for whatever reason lol. I needed 1 more! I might keep this as my #beersaturday image!

I went to the store though and got some beers! I was browsing around and seeing what I was feeling like. I didn't really have anything specific in mind so I was just looking around the case when I noticed a beer on sale! Score, cheapness for the win LOL

I was also sold on the fact that it was an IPA, and a New England IPA to boot! I don't really know if there is a big difference between an IPA and a NEIPA but at any rate, it was a pretty great beer! I think I've gotten beers from this brewery before; I certainly try to focus my attention on the breweries that are smaller and local to the region before I buy anything. I don't waste my money on horse piss like Coors Light or anything like that, so I have been putting my money in the better direction and trying to go for those small businesses!

What was a little lame was the can was very lackluster! I know not all breweries can afford to hire artists and people to write something clever on them but I am more entertained when they do. I guess I'm a simplistic kind of guy hahaha. Give me a beer with a picture on it, ideally a pair of boobs, a few words and you've got me sold on the beer!

I was surprised with this one, it was not a very foamy beer; the head on it was very minimal. Not that I love a whole lot of foam on the top of a beer but I think sometimes a good balance between foam and beer is not bad. This one almost seemed a little flat! That isn't the worst thing though, because it means less gas and burping later on lol.

The beer was a really smooth and palatable IPA! I enjoyed it for sure and would definitely buy more of them if I saw them on clearance or not. I might even try to figure out where the brewery is and see if we can go visit it one of these times, as I like to buy things like this right from the source as it does better for their bottom line than when they sell things at grocery stores. It makes sense for sure but that's how these businesses expand. They get their stuff in front of people they normally wouldn't and they are able to grow and expand.

As I'm writing this though, I'm thinking of going on a little bit of an exploration this weekend, the long weekend, to see if I can get a few different kinds of beers for the next couple #beersaturday posts!

I don’t think it is getting old so much as your palate becoming more refined! I started drinking ipas because I got away from crushing 6+ pints in a session. So, I enjoy a pint that tastes like 6 of them like an ipa.

Like you, I am unthrilled by regular ales and lagers and need a big hop taste punch and that is how the blog goes.

Long live ipa!

It’s funny I was at a brewery today and was eyeing the different selections to see what I would try. I was originally going with a Pilsner but I said eh screw it, this double IPA sounds better! I’ll be posting about it next Saturday but their selection wasn’t that good so I went with an old reliable! It was a strong one too, I think 9% lol. Gave me a decent little buzz for an hour which was nice, no misery the following morning.

I can’t even think about drinking more than 2 beers these days hahaha. I haven’t drank more than 2 in years, likely 7 or 8 at this point lol. 2 is my absolute max so I don’t become useless the following day.
