SOLID | NOT SOLID: Fallen Timbers Brewing Co., Prospect, CT
Milkshakes and Rollerskates | Strawberry Vanilla Milkshake DIPA | ABV: 9% | This big time creamy, summer beer was brewed with graham crackers and homemade strawberry and vanilla crumbles that were inspired by the delicious strawberry shortcake popsicles with added strawberry purée and vanilla beans. Citra and Mosaic hops, during the boil and dry hopping. The taste is reminiscent of a strawberry/vanilla milkshake you would get at an old fashion diner. (This beer contains lactose) | SUPER SOLID [and it doesn't drink like a 9%]
Peaches N’ Scream, Peach Cream Ale | ABV: 4.7% | Huge pop of peach flavor and extremely crisp! Medium to light in body and smooth. It is gold in color and with low bitterness. A true "lawnmower beer”, this Cream Ale is a crushable summertime thirst-quencher | SATISFYINGLY SOLID

SOLID || NOT SOLID: Charter Oak Brewing Co., Danbury CT
Royal Charter Pale Ale | Pale Ale -American | brewed with plenty of flavor and hops. This top fermented ale will be solidly an American Pale Ale style; not too sweet and not too bitter, but complex enough to not disappoint you. A scent of a citrus and floral aroma, a solid backbone of the Cascade Hops. Well balanced, medium bodied, and deep golden appearance. We can assure you it is not intensely hopped up, but only a subtle bitterness and dry finish | 5.5% ABV | SOLID
Wadsworth IPA | West Coast style IPA | with plenty of hop aroma and bitterness, yet crisp, refreshing and not over the top! This IPA style will pleasure your pallet with more than your typical 'every day India Pale Ale' and you'll be sure to taste our grapefruit citrus overtone backed with notes of black currant. This beer will be a medium bodied beer with a dark copper shade | 6.5% ABV | SOLID
Little Charter Session IPA | IPA - Session / India Session Ale | easy-drinking styled beer pours a distinctive amber shade & big citrus nose. a well-balanced ale with plenty of malt backbone and the hops become ‘alive’ on the back end and dominant. The intensity of this full-flavored hop charge does not become any more robust with each sip or pint, but rather remains stable and somewhat velvet on the palate | 4.7% ABV | SOLID Session
1687 Brown Ale (Keg's Favorite) | Brown Ale - American | slightly more robust than the traditional English Brown Ale. Dark copper shade and be somewhat sweet and malty with distinctive toasted flavors from both our premium specialty roasted and chocolate malted barley, also allowing for a faint undertone of caramel. This style is lightly hopped for balance and medium-bodied, limited bitterness and hop aroma will make this an excellent choice | 6.2% ABV | SSSSSSOLID

Sloop Brewing Co. Hopewell Junction, NY
Juicier Bomb (Jonny's Favorite) | IPA - Imperial / Double New England | ridiculously hopped double IPA has a big, orange aroma w/ flavor notes of passion fruit, papaya, and even a tinge of tang. | 8% ABV | SOLID
