Hmm, didn't know there was a Tree House in Tewksbury!

I have a Slerp Terp Remix (450 North Brewing Co.; Columbus, IN), flavored with pineapple, cherry, grape & strawberry hard candy, watermelon hard candy, and banana hard candy. It’s not nearly as god-awful as I feared. The dense, not-too-sweet smoothieness is not a bad sensation. #BeerSky #BskyBeer

I'm headed inside for The Great British Baking Show, but for now I have Azaleas IPA from Belleflower Brewing Co. (Portland ME). Its fruit core has a deep center to it, like the fruit wants you to know it’s serious. I want to say I’m getting papaya or something along those lines. #BeerSky #BskyBeer

High of 85°F in Boston today. I grilled up some good steak and chicken, and with that a Cosmic Shift IPA from Lawson's Finest Liquids (Waitsfield VT).  More West-Coasty than New-Englandy (clearish, bitterish), it did have some random NE-like elements to it.  Overall not too bad. #BeerSky #BskyBeer

I've got a Daydream Believer West Coast-Style IPA from Lamplighter Brewing Co. (Cambridge, MA), a good match for a warm day. A straight-up WC flavor profile (“citrus and pine” — surprise!) and pretty solid. I’d say a true WCIPA would be just a bit sharper and crisper than this. #BeerSky #BskyBeer

I agree - that's a really good one. I can usually find it here in the Boston area, too.

I've opened a Blueberry Honey Ale from Timberyard Brewing Co. (East Brookfield MA). Grain, hops, blueberries, and honey were all sourced from Massachusetts! Both of its headline flavors come through very nicely, and at 8%, it's got a little zip to it. A uniquely tasty brew. #BeerSky #BskyBeer

Well, I'm convinced! I liked the vibe of the photo as well.

Close call, but this is the Beer I'd Most Like To Try on #BskyBeer today! Edged out the Scottish tayberry one.

Wow, I had forgotten all about Moosehead! Truthfully didn't know they still existed.

That's like stretching before your real exercises :)

I haven't seen that in Boston yet, but when I do.....

I trust Ommegang, so I bet that's good!

I have a madonna iipa (Zero Gravity; Burlington VT). This isn’t fully either a WC or NE IPA, and I suspect that's because it has been around since 2016, before NEIPAs had fully matured into what they are now. It’s certainly not bad, but nothing about it really jumps out at you. #BeerSky #BskyBeer

I'm calling this one the beer I'd Most Like To Try On #BskyBeer today!

I like your recurring pattern: Make some money, drink some beer

Here's Resonate DDH DIPA from LongLive Beerworks in Boston. It’s solid, with a melonesque fruit profile and some earthiness, but nothing grabs you as very distinctive. It’s the base new model at the NEIPA dealership with no options. Still drives well enough, but nothing fancy. #BeerSky #BskyBeer

Looks like it's He Station for the time being :)

This evening’s beer is a Rock Dove Gluten-Free NEIPA from Lucky Pigeon Brewing Co. (Biddeford ME). The NEIPA profile is OK, but its main grain is millet, which gives the core flavor a subtle weirdness that’s tough to get past, a little bit like maybe you bit into a hockey puck. #BskyBeer #BeerSky

Whoa, never seen Triple Mash before

Well, this is an easy call - that is the Beer I'd Most Like To Try on #BskyBeer today!

Yeah, that whole Dragon's Milk series is pretty awesome.

We're about to have Farmageddon in the U.S. thanks to Dementia Don's tariffs and immigrant purges.

My post-singing lesson beer is a Pecan Pie Porter from Clown Shoes Beer Co. (Boston MA & Windsor VT). It captures pretty well what it's trying to do without coming off as fake or too sweet. I'm outside in shorts on the deck at 57 degrees, so a syrupy porter is 100% appropriate. #BeerSky #BskyBeer
