Lost Shoe Brewing and Roasting Company

My life is crazy and thus my brewery visits are few and far between, so I’ve decided to get more strategic, find ways to squeeze in quick stops as parts of errands or family events. For example, my car needed an oil change this weekend so I took a trip to the Valvoline in Marlborough […]

2019 Maine Beer Trip Photo-Blog

I am trying to do a better job of taking quality photos when I visit breweries, this effort is part of a larger goal of working on improving all of my beer photography. It is still a work in progress, but I think I am making strides. It is especially difficult when I am trying […]

Stone Cow Brewing

My frequent readers know that my life is kind of crazy right now, between a demanding job and two young kiddos at home it is amazing I find time to knock out regular blog posts. As a result, my brewery visits are fewer than I would like, and most are just quick stops to run […]

Redemption Rock Brewing Company

I am not at the stage in life where I can just visit breweries whenever I want, my life is extremely busy, so I try to find creative ways to squeeze in the occasional stop at a local establishment. A good example was 4th of July weekend, we decided to bring the kids to the […]

Amory’s Tomb Brewing Co.

Between my crazy work schedule and having two young kids at home my brewery visits have become few and far between. My list of new breweries I want to check out and favorites I need to get back to has gotten really long. One that has been high on my list for a while was […]

Hoppy Boston goes to Portsmouth, NH

Twice a year a group of my college buddies get together for a day/night away. There are a few of us who are routinely part of the group and a whole bunch more who make it on occasion. The fall trip is always the same, centered around the wild game supper in Bradford, VT. The […]

Hoppy Boston goes to Hill Farmstead

Every year on the weekend before Thanksgiving I get together with a group of my buddies from college for a guys night away. The trip revolves around the annual wild game supper in Bradford, VT, a church fundraiser that features a feast on wild game meat prepared in different ways. After the meal we stay […]

Brewery Visit: Battle Road Brewing Co.

In the early days of the blog I wrote a few articles showcasing my visits to local breweries. I’m not really sure why I got away from this style of blog post, in many cases when I would visit a new place I would just include some information about the brewery in a beer review. Regardless, I am going […]

Hoppy Boston/Hopster’s Fuggles Porter

My brother and I recently brewed another batch of beer at Hopster’s Brew and Boards in Newton, MA. Our first brewing experience at Hopster’s was over a year ago (I’ve been back since, just not to brew), and so much has changed in that time. First, Hopster’s received a liquor license to become a fully functional […]

Bog Iron One Down Robust Porter

Last week I wrote a post about finding the best brewery in Massachusetts (HERE), mostly as a response to Gary Dzen’s #HotBeerTake declaring that Trillium Brewing was the best brewery in the state. I hoped that my post would be a conversation starter and I would get a number of responses supporting the various breweries I mentioned or […]
