Yes. Ive been to their brewery in Milford a few times. Rest of the stuff I have tried there I thought was just ok, but they hit it out of the park with Benji.
Is that after VAT? For Europe it sounds a bit pricey (as ridiculous as that may sound).I'm over in Europe for work and picked these up at an Aldi in Netherlands.
$9.50 USD for the two 4-packs.
I'll be sampling tonight.

Belgian beers aren’t really cheap, even in Belgium. Slightly less than they are her. Ordinary stuff like pilsners are cheap.Is that after VAT? For Europe it sounds a bit pricey (as ridiculous as that may sound).
They both weren’t very good. The blonde was skunky and the tripel’s taste was pedestrian.I'm over in Europe for work and picked these up at an Aldi in Netherlands.

Zot is very good indeed.
Would be interested in your thoughts on Hopus, on behalf of my wife. It was her favorite beer in all Belgium. I found it good, not great.

Making up for it at lunch.
Bruges Zot Blonde is always a winner.
This was fantastic on draft. Alora is such a unique hop. Did you try No Return DDH IPA? Hope you had a great time Saturday!My first Marlowe Artianal Ales can in a loooooong time. So tasty. View attachment 100330
The place was packed when I left at 1:30. Got there by 11. A bottle share happened at 11. Zac brought out bottles of BOJ and Fox Farm. Others offered brews.This was fantastic on draft. Alora is such a unique hop. Did you try No Return DDH IPA? Hope you had a great time Saturday!

Tripel Karmeliet hasn't been imported in my state for a few years now. Very sad.Following up on this. We didn't see any Hopus but we were limited to a restaurant and the hotel bar on Friday night because of rain. Saturday we did some shopping in the morning and there were several stores open which primarily sold Belgian Ales. I didn't see it there either.
OTOH, Mrs. Diesel became a huge fan of Karmeliet Tripel. Still my favorite beer in the world.
Train. Ain't doing I95 again.
Just a heads up re: Kent Falls. The town of Kent decided to institute some ridiculous archaic law after seven or so years of regular pours. KF is allowed to only sell flights of TWO OUNCE tasters per town ordinance. I think this change has impacted visits by craft beer enthusiasts. I’m a fan of Buddy Sprinkles, a solid IPA with a citrusy bite. I know you’re not a big farmhouse ale guy, but Fingerprint is a really nice, tart and refreshing beer on a hot day. Enjoy!Heading to Kent Falls for the first time tomorrow. Any suggestions or recommendations?

On Sunday, I'll head to the Craft Beer Grand Prix at Lime Rock. CT Craft Beer Grand Prix Returns to Lime Rock Park over Memorial Day Weekend - Lime Rock Park Hopefully there will be something good there too. Despite unlimited samples, I'll need to take it easy as I have to drive back to eastern Mass in the evening. Has anybody been to this?
I saw something about that. It's not ideal. I'm wondering if it's worth the trip down from Lakeville. Great Falls is closer, but doesn't open until 4:30.Just a heads up re: Kent Falls.
