Homebrew #2 wheat IPA. It is delish.

Sweet! My husband has been getting into it. Its a neat process. So far hes brewed an IPA and ESB, both all grain.

I'd love to get into All Grain, but my stove just can't boil that much water!
 
Some recents.....Sixpoint just became available in the Boston area in the last couple of weeks. I've had it on tap before. Solid beers. Stocked up on the cans through my local beer store. Ale Smith and Mongo are two West Coast IPA's..

More recents...Clown Shoes is a local (Ipswich MA) brewery. They're a small batch,craft brewery turning out some fantastic beers. Flower Power,though brewed in NY,is very reminiscent of a West Coast IPA. Brew Dog Paradox MaCallan,combines two favorites of mine. Imperial stout and MaCallan. Lost Abbey Red Poppy is a wonderful sour if you're into that style...
Also got to sample many great beers this past weekend at ACBF here in Boston. If anyone ever gets a chance to attend a Beer Advocate sponsored event/fest,do it. They put on a top notch event with great beers and a smooth running fest...
Sorry for the orientation on some of my pics...

Went to a Russian River brunch yesterday and had the delicious Pliny the Elder. I always find myself grabbing a glass whenever it comes to town -- too good not to.

Have heard so much about RR I am pretty sure I am going to die soon if I don't get any :-(
 
Was out drinking in our local Belgian Beer Cafe and these two were my faves. The Mongozo is easily the best Pilsener I've ever drunk!! :)

You must have a pretty sophisticated palate.

Oh yes, very much so. Truth be told, I live in a tiny little armpit town that has basically NO craft beers. The closest to a craft beer that we have here is Blue Moon. And, I was wanting some beer, but was poormode that night.
