More Storm Beer Options

Stopped by my local place and picked up some Rogue river Dead guy Ale and some Firestone Double Jack (Imperial IPA). The Dead Guy ale is on tap at One mile West in Sunapee, NH and is a fav of mine. The Double Jack is tasting mighty fine especially with some snow falling now. I think I like it even better than Heady Topper which is in my top 5.

Spence and I compared the Double Jack to Dogfishhead IPA 90, Double Jack won unanimously!

new place opened up in town with a good selection. they carry firestone but the only ipa they had was the rye double which i passed on as i'm not a fan of rye at all. did pick up their porter to try even though its not their best reviewed.

also got some Green Flash West Coast IPA which is very, very good.

Stopped at Julio's in Westborough the other day and they told me no Double Jack in Mass for a while, but should be back in soon. Still liking the Union Jack though.

Very big selection there if you are in the hood. Very big and good as well.
