The beginning of 24 New York State Beers of Holiday Cheer!
Northway Raspberry Shandy
As I look out my window, I see the beautiful colors of the leaves and I know that it's the Fall-est part of Fall but it's actually been pretty warm this week so I grabbed this Raspberry Shandy from Northway Brewing because I'm hanging onto Summer as long as I can.
Equilibrium Fluffuation
Unfortunately, I haven't had the base beer that this remix is based on but I also haven't ever had a beer with marshmallow in it. Fluffuation popped into my life with all its marshmallow-y goodness to change that. I think I like lactose in my beer...

Blue Point Big Mother Pumpkin
There isn't a great story to this one - I love pumpkin beer season, and when I see one on the shelf that I haven't tried, I basically always buy it. That's how I ended up with Blue Point's Big Mother Pumpkin. It appears that this is sort of an amped up version of their... Continue Reading →
Non Sequitur It’s (Finally) Here
Non Sequitur doesn't currently have a location, but they contract brew at various New York breweries and their can art is amazing (you can follow the artist, @NeonDinosaur, on Instagram). It just pops when you walk by it in the store. Non Sequitur is typically known for interesting IPAs, but they finally brewed a crisp,... Continue Reading →
Equilibrium C Lime Pie
Equilibrium Brewery seems to be one of those breweries that has been getting a lot of hype in the internet craft beer community lately. Since it's so close to me, I decided I might as well give them a try. C Lime Pie sounded pretty good so I started with it. C is Equilibrium's American... Continue Reading →
Paradox Love Potion #4
Milkshake. IPA. Milkshake IPA. I, like many craft beer lovers, can't get enough IPA and most of it's variations like New England, West Coast, Imperial, Dry-hopped, Double Dry-hopped, etc. but Milkshake IPA is a subset that I haven't tried as much. Love Potion #4's can jumped out at me at the bottle shop and peaches... Continue Reading →
Thin Man Brewery Pills Mafia
We're not professional photographers over here, but we feel like we're getting better! We wanted to experiment with a bit of an 'action shot' for this one. How can there be action when it's a still photo, you ask? We don't know; that's a bit philosophical for our beer blog, but look! the beer is... Continue Reading →
Beer Tree Fika
The town where I was born is nicknamed "Little Sweden" because the overwhelming majority of its people are descended from its original settlers from Värmland province in Sweden. The town hosts Svensk Hyllningsfest to celebrate that heritage and you'll see the traditional Dala horses everywhere. Fika, a milk/sweet stout with coffee, hazelnut, and cinnamon, spoke...

Beer Tree Mashing Pumpkins
Anyone that knows me (or has read through some of the earlier posts in this journal) knows that I love Fall and I love pumpkin beers! Unfortunately, last year was a crazy year moving states and I never made it anywhere to have a pumpkin beer. This year, I saw my bottle shop post on... Continue Reading →
