I need to get back up to Waterbury to get more heady topper I’ve only got one left. I want to buy a case of it one of these days but I don’t drink it fast enough and it’s definitely a beer best enjoyed fresh. ---

Will have to try that. The only watermelon beer I’ve really enjoyed is 21st Amendments Hell or High Watermelon. Hard to find fresh and loses flavor pretty quickly unfortunately. Prefer to buy NY brews anyway. ---

Been to Shmaltzs brewery three times now since it opened. Highly recommend checking it out. I also just read they sold the Coney Island brand to a BBC (Sam Adams etc) brewery. Pumpkin beers are out early and theres a shitload to choose from. My fridge is stocked with this year and last year’s Pumking along with some Saranac pumpkin jugs, Weyerbachers Imperial Pumpkin and Ommegangs new Scythe and Sickle (malty Belgian, no pumpkin). Also made a trip to Lee, Mass and was able to score some Jacks Abby 4 packs. Some of the best lager I’ve ever had and decently priced at the package store just off the Lee exit. And if you’re into sour beers and the like its a great time to stop at the Bier Abbey. Went last week for the Rushing Duck party and they had a trilogy of RD sours including a mead/sour blend. Also have Allagash’s Curieux which is a blended barrel aged sour. Also had the new Stone Gotterdamerung and it was a really dank fresh hoppy IPA. Definitely different than your standard IPA get it while its fresh. ---
