Did someone mention Trillium stouts? Aslin is known for IPAs (as is Trillium).

I just picked up Double Sunshine at a local hole-in-the-wall packy. How long has this been going on?

Oh, your friends with their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
But I can't help but have my suspicion
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem

Have not seen Double Sunshine in stores, so not very long. Sip, Maple Nipple, Fayston Maple and Super Session have been in stores for the last 9-10 months (Sip and SS longer).

Great song @8893 For some reason it always reminds me of Mr. Jaws by Dickie Goodman, even though it does not appear in that.

Yes but their stouts are delicious.

Sure, you get this one...

I'm thinking maybe this owner got a hold of a bunch himself and put them on the shelf. He really puts a lot of effort into his craft beer selection.

That wouldn't be legal, but good that he cares.

That's what I was thinking, wasn't sure. I know, right!

Some shops used to do that with Heady Topper (illegally) as well.

Picked up Daily Serving and Scaled Up from Trillium this weekend. Both awesome.

Went up and visited the in-laws last weekend.Despite the COVID restrictions still had a nice time up at Larson’s. I think it is the nicest brewery to visit. Love my Connecticut breweries but like the look of my beer fridge now.

That’s a beautiful sight my friend. How is the little sip? So regarding Double Sunshine, I found some at St. Gambrinus in Brooklyn. Great spot if your ever in Downtown Brooklyn. Spoke to the folks there and they said Double and Triple are going to be distribution, given their increased brewing capacity.

I’d say the Double was phenomenal, right up there with some of the best IPAs I’ve had. The Triple is a bit too much for my liking.

My thoughts exactly

My God, that looks good.

It looks like Little Sip is out! I've been waiting for this one. I'm taking a ride to Lawson's next week.

It hasn't been going on. Double Sip is the same recipe and brew as Sip of Sunshine, only it's brewed in Lawson's in VT, not at Two Roads in CT. They do not distribute to CT. I love me some Double. Did you find it in CT?

Also, someone else posted a pic above with some Little Sip, which I've really been looking forward to. And have you tried Triple Sunshine? I do not like it at all, but you may.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Anyone have any idea of when Lawson's will be brewing/distributing Super Session #2? It's my favorite beer ever.

It's quite the drive (3-3.5 hours) so I will need some food to fuel me for the ride home. I will hit this up for sure - thank you!

The Country Deli in Brattleboro (Exit 2 off 91) is always a stop for us; they also have a restroom now in their "new" building next door (I think they've had it around five years now):

Worthy Burger in South Royalton is another great stop, but a little more out of the way:

Worthy Burger — Worthy Vermont

A Craft Beer and a Farm Burger. After renovating an old freight house in downtown South Royalton, Vermont, we opened our doors in August of 2012. Ever since then we've been flipping patties over a hardwood fire grill and connecting with our local community.

Not a great menu but if you want to have some food and a couple of beers you need to make a reservation on the website.

Are you talking about Mad Taco? Is that because of Covid? Is their menu limited now?

I would hope they still have the smoked pork belly, carnitas, al pastor and pork and kimchi!
