last Medalla in Puerto Rico. IPA's tonight back in nj. 
What beer are you drinking RIGHT NOW?
- Thread starter wonderturtle
- Start date
I went to Climax Brewery in Roselle Park last night. Its not too far from where I live. The brewer, Dave is proud of his beer and have met him in town before, he is always more then willing to show up at fundraisers and local events and talk about his beer. He is a pioneer in the world of Micro beers, his brewery is 20 yrs. old, this guy knows everything about making beer. I would add this on the list NJ beer tours, not that his beer is anything special but more for the fact that he is a great guy and speaks about beer with much passion.

Trinity Brewing Company Chocolate River Imperial Stout bottle 11%
Nice mix of beer, chocolate, madagascar vanilla beans.
Enjoyed this on New Years Eve.
Picked up a bomber of the NESHAMINATOR at Wegman's a week or so ago. Wegman's had a limit of 1 per person.
Its their take on a German wheat bock. Kind of flat effervesce-wise so it went down fast.
Really liked the label, although that is not a reason for me to buy a beer. Thought I'd give Neshaminy Creek a try again since their Shape of Hops to Come is a solid one.
I don't usually pour into a glass - at least with 12 oz bottles, but this was 22 oz and I also wanted to see the color.

Every beer I've had from them was pretty much meh. I always try NJ beer when I see it, and I'm usually pretty happy with it. This beer was always a letdown.
Update: they just posted that some people received regulators that leak. As a result, they are shipping new regs to urrrryone. That'll put a dent in the bottom line. They may have rushed to production.
In other news, an unforeseen downside. My local hop shop does $2 off a growler with a NJCB card. Even though this is 2 growlers in volume, only a single discount-boo! 😉
Another option worth a look is the Drinktank. It is double walled which is nice, but from the pics it doesn't look like the CO2 is permanently attached. Not sure if you just charge it while pouring or what. Also comes in 64 and 128 sizes.
I have also seen screw on CO2 taps for standard threaded growlers. Also an option if you already have bottles.

Hey............this is Sussex County!
Oh Man… If I saw that on tap, I'd have to look close to make sure its not Moose drool. I really like it! Part of the appeal could be that if I am drinking it, I am probably in Big Sky or Bozeman, Montana.

I remember post rides back in the '90s at the thirsty moose after Mahlon slaying. Rounds of Moose heads all around.

I almost want to do a VT bike trip just to stock up for winter.

Post ride beer with the Mrs., this glass has become my go to.
Speaking of go to, I just can't get enough of Six Point lately. Rouge quality (at least by my perception) at 2/3rds the price. Solid ABV, and totally my style.
