Over the past couple of years, I have a new favorite brewery.  If you're ever in Charlton Mass, head over to Tree House Brewery.  Their beers are as good as any and their complex is top notch.  I think they have 6 beers rated in the Top 25 of Beer Advocates  Top 150 beer list. 

I stop here when I go visit my kids in Maine and spend lots of money, as you can only buy their beer at their locations.  


Tree House Brewing Company, creators of Julius, Green, Haze, and more, crafts unique & world-renowned beers on a wooded property in Charlton, Massachusetts.

I could go on and on about breweries and beers, I'm always in search of great IPA's and DIPA's.

Honestly 95% of what I drink is Yuengling Lager, but I do try to break out of the rut once in awhile. 

Not sure these are really "craft brewers" as most people would define them, but Ohio has Great Lakes (Cleveland), Rheingeist (Cincinnati) and Warped Wing (Dayton) that I enjoy. Normally, I'll go for red ales or pilsners. Occasionally, a lower-octane Stout hits the spot.

We don't get that regularly here in the Dayton area. I don't remember it poorly from the time or two I had one, we just don't see it on the shelves.

I did hear about their special Super Bowl cans vanishing in record time.

It was average at best when I lived in Cincinnati back in the ‘80s.

It certainly isn't what you typically think of as "craft beer". 

Not unlike Yuengling, Hudepohl is a name with a lot of history behind it. A lot of Germans (including my great-great grandfather) settled in Cincinnati in the late 19th century and Hudepohl was one of several companies trying to give them a taste of home.

Guess one thing I learned just today is that Hudepohl is responsible for the infamous Little Kings that punctuated many people's Fridays during my high school years. For some dumb reason, those were easy to get up here back then.

That was my favorite beer in Cincinnati. I think it was Schoenling though unless Hudey owned them. It did go skunky fast though. We saw a few bottles in San Francisco on our honeymoon and got them. They did not travel well.😜

Other way around actually. the brand name Hudepohl was sold to Shoenling back in 1986. The current ownership is called Cincinnati Beverage Co. or CinBev.

Interesting. I remember going to the Schoenling brewery to pick up a keg once for a rugby tournament.

One of my favorites is Anchor Steam Porter.  Haven't seen it in a while.

P.S.  Although I've no idea what a while looks like...I can always tell when one has been by.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

That is a good one. I like porters and stouts the most.

Same here.  Stouts and porters seem a less finicky brew.

I still think of Juicy Lucy...lol. maybe it was just that I was thirsty but that might be one of my favorite IPAs of all time. 

I had a goblet of Woodoo Ranger Belgian at Yard house.. loved it enough to stop by the grocery store to buy a variety pack. The IPA did not disappoint.

Well that's just great.

You had to go mention Anchor Steam and now I'm going to have to run my butt into the wilds of Dayton, OH (and it gets wild) to get Anchor Steam from the one place I know has it.

Thanks for nothing.

Lucy Juicy is really good, as are all of the other beers from Solace Brewing that I've had.  Another good one in northern VA is Aslin, who have opened a small brewpub in Herndon, right around the corner from me.  

As for styles, I had been getting a bit tired of extremely hopped IPAs, it seemed that brewers were simply trying to make the bitterest beers they could.  The newer trend towards cloudy (unfiltered) IPAs is more to my taste, a bit creamier, a bit more citrus flavor and aroma, and noticeably less bitterness.

Our clubhouse has Hazy like a Fox on tap that you would love then. 

I agree about the overly hoppy and bitter trend. It's seems like a bit of competetive trick to stand out just for the sake of it. But then I am sure there are barbarians who can't get enough hops.
