Beer

Heading up to Treehouse Friday for the first time. Any recommendations?

All their beers are very good. Their yeast and profile are unique for NE IPA. Haze, Green, Julius, Sap and variants of those are what I feel represent Treehouse best. Purchase online at 930 or soon after. Guessing will be somewhat of a wait being Friday of holiday weekend. Have typically arrived around 5-6 and had about 10 min car wait. Enjoy!

Tied with Jersey. As resident of both states over my lifetime, I feel as if I could do more.

I did my share and more for decades. Someone else’s turn. I still enjoy a cold beer after golf, but I cannot do what I did even 10 years ago.

People in Connecticut need to up their game!

Sorry we go straight for the liquor. Most package stores per capita is Connecticut.

I'd have to look on Friday morning what is available that day but all of their IPAs and milk stouts are great. Really can't go wrong.

All the mixed cases of IPAs, like Kings and Curiosity Mix Pack and Runnin' Down a Dream Mix Pack, look great.

Isn’t Connecticut the only state with package stores?

UConn fans drink a lot of beer. Confirmed.

We're the only state that calls them package stores.

You need to order online to pick up a case. Force of Will was just canned and is amazing.

They are also called package stores in Massachusetts.

I would like to see this chart, but without any Bud, Miller, Coors products. I suspect VT and NH would still be at the top, but MA would jump up a lot, along with Oregon. CT would be higher too.

It would be interesting to see total alcohol consumption. Maybe people in the Midwest don't drink wine or don't drink vodka, for example.

SOME people in the Midwest drink beer, wine, and vodka.

Florida - 3rd in total consumption! I'm doing my part. Cheeseburger in Paradise at Landshark Bar, Margaritaville, Hollywood Beach.

Why? Isn't Nick's reopened?

Yes, Nick's finally reopened after about a year and a half to renovate.

This is an old pic. The place was a bit too . . . corporate for me.

Utah is last, easy to guess that- but, they have the coolest beer slogan!
They have a beer called Polygamy Porter, and the slogan for it is:
Why have just one?

Heat Index says 103 right now. Just starting the 4.25 day weekend. These make for a good start to the afternoon.

I was always happy when I got a seat at the bar at Nick's. When we went a few winters ago and it was closed, I didn't know what to do with myself.

The 3 northern NE states are in the Top 7 while the 3 southern NE states the bottom 10?

Like 68 I know I've done my part in both CT and MA, still attempt to on occasion. But I have lost the ability to stay with beer especially in the summer when I have a couple then hit the White Claws, Arnies on the course!

On the Broadwalk?! Too many choices. My favorite was O'Malley's Ocean Pub behind the Beach Resort. It closed because the property owners didn't renew their lease. The owners opened their own place at the same location, but failed to capture the same magic . . . or customers . . . and failed miserably.

@SoFla Steve @Waquoit If quality of beer consumed was part of it we know Florida would be near the bottom.

It's one thing to drink a white claw. It's another thing to admit drinking a white claw.

Ouch. At least get a High Noon which at least advertises itself as a vodka mixed drink.

OTOH, you can probably flirt with beverage cart girls when you get the Claw.

Even FL has some decent beer. There's a taproom called LauderALE only a few miles up the road from Hollywood that's a neat place to hang for a couple of IPA's.

Such an off-season thread

Does beer have an off-season? Oh, were you referring to hoop?

I bet that all the states that smoke the most weed will be in the west. The west has the best!
