Hubbard's Cave makes Stouts and IPAs while Una Annee' makes Sours/Wild Ales (more traditional, not kettle). Weird is that both of them sell their expensive beers in 2pks, so a case of 12 2pks. I brought in 4 of the Wild Ales and mixed up the 2pks to include 2 different flavours in each for $9.99. The beers are good, just as I previously mentioned they are more like fruited Belgian Sours than the new wave of fruited kettle Sours, so more tart and funky. The distro just started listing some of the Hubbard's Cave Stouts the past 2-3 weeks, but in relation to their price and that I still have a good amount of Stouts in stock, I haven't brought any in.
March 24, 20214 yr I've had some Una Annee' sours. They're good. Hubbard's Cave makes some good stouts. I feel like they're a little over priced in the sour dept but I love sours and will splurge for them.
March 24, 20214 yr Anyone like Founders? I haven't had a beer from them I don't really like. I think this brew was the one that got me started with them. Always a treat. Great mix of malt, chocolate, a little coffee, and something like molasses/brown sugar. Aptly named, because this thing is a meal in a glass.

March 26, 20214 yr Author Waldos is the once a year Triple. havent opened one yet, but it tends to be hoppy to the level of sticky

I've never had Trillium. Lived in Boston for four years but left in 2010

April 10, 20214 yr Here's something a little different: Barleywine. I enjoy a well done Barleywine and Old Ale now and then and this one hits the mark. Timber Ales is just doing really good beers since they came onto the scene. They usually do Stouts and IPAs and I think have done one fruited Sour. Their Stouts have been really good, though the IPAs are quite good, too. This is a collab with Horus Aged Ales and Mindful Ales (never heard of the latter). A Barleywine with vanilla bean added to it. It's rather heavenly if you like a beer with a touch of sticky sweetness, layers of rich flavours (toffee, chocolate, dark fruits, caramel) and a nice vanilla finish. And it clocks in at 12% ABV.
April 11, 20214 yr At The Seed in AC. Just met one of the owners/ brewers, Amanda. Really nice. Very good beers. English, Belgians and IPAs. Worth checking out.
April 12, 20214 yr The thing about The Seed is they are the first and only craft brewery in AC. And they're right next door to Little Water Distillery and an axe throwing place. All 3 in the same parking lot and block. Pretty cool. We had a 20 minute wait for The Seed so went to Little Water and had cocktails until it was time to settle in at The Seed. Very nice assortment of beers and they are already collabing with other breweries (Timber Ales, Brix City, Mindful Ales, etc.) and will be at the AC Beerfest in early June.
April 12, 20214 yr The Seed looks like they have some good beers. It looks like they are going the somewhat-pretentious route that Tired Hands blazed. But that doesn't matter if they make good beer.
April 12, 20214 yr Beer has no taste IMHO. Wished I could convince some members of my family. Just saying!
