One and only night in Watkins Glen, I stopped into @upstatebrewingflx for a few brews. The staple Common Sense Kentucky Ale is an easy drinking malt-forward brew that goes down easy, the Roasted peppermint-mocha brown ale was quite subtle and an amazing alternative to stout heaviness. Finally, the Blizzard of Oz is a strong way to end the day, an imperial stout that sneaks up on ya. Honorable mention: the Dirty Chai brews a skew away from the typical pumpkin spice flavors common this time of year. Take note: this ginger-forward taste is enough to entice any chai latte aficionado! #beer #microbrews #instabeer #ale #stout #ipa #porter #saison #localbrewery #breweries #watkinsglen #fingerlakes #theglen #supportlocal #supportlocalbusiness (Crosspost via IFTTT .)
Last night in Ithaca and I needed to hit the namesake @ithacabeer brewery! Of course I had a short pour of the ubiquitous Flower Power WIPA, but also tried the allspice and ginger-forward Fuggly Sweater. They also had “5 Barrel Batch” limited releases, of which I sipped the Hefeweizen. All in it was $20 before tip for three 8oz pours and a four-pack! The food menu didn’t look too shabby either! #beer #microbrews #instabeer #ale #stout #ipa #porter #saison #localbrewery #breweries #ithaca (Crosspost via IFTTT .)
Finally made it to @thecatskillbrewery! The iconic angry raccoon has made its appearance several times on my trips for #project13by62 . Of note is Ratface Macdougall, an orange-forward hazy DIPA with big body and smooth taste, and Devils Path had classic bitterness I could session easily. Huge kudos to the staff. A few days prior a wonder storm downed lines, and I overheard stories of gratitude for locals using the facilities to power phones - and trade stories of how spontaneous BBQ’s would be required to make use of meat in broken fridges. Great to see how a brewery can have a significant mark on a community – it’s never just about the brew, but the crew you meet along the way. #beer #microbrews #instabeer #ale #stout #ipa #porter #saison #localbrewery #breweries #catskills #dipa (Crosspost via IFTTT .)
