Excellent #Oktoberfest from #notchbrewing. Sweeter than last year, nice aftertaste of #caramel. Best at 42°. @justbetterbeer #festbier #craftbeer

One of my favorite #Ocktoberfests. @JacksAbbyRobG Copper Legend with #Seitz family #hops. Caramel, sweet, toasty.

Excellent fruited sour from @stellwagenbeer: Piña Colada Smoothie Machine. One of the best I’ve tasted in a while. Very smooth, with a strong pineapple taste.

Governing Forces #dipa from #equilibrium #brewery. Excellent, especially as it warms up citrus, tropical, fruit, melon. Excellent mouth feels very smooth specially for a #DIPA

One of the better Brett beers I’ve tasted in a while, more fruit and milder Brett. @LamplighterBrew Lazy Tger.

The @DeciduousBeer Won’t Back Down Porter is excellent: deep cocoa-chocolate taste with a hint of mint. Viscous, smooth mouth feel. 5 or 6 years ago excellent American brewed porters were scarce. @DeciduousBeer is a leader in the style.

An annual @favorite #craftbeer. The problem is that many #beerdrinkers drink this #beer too cold! Start at 50° and note the oak barrel taste at 55°. @SierraNevada #bigfoot 2023.

Beautiful #beer from @DeciduousBeer One of the better #DIPAs I’ve tasted in a while. Fragrant aroma, fruit, a little spicy- just right. I like the #Citra #Monteuka #hop combo.

Extraordinary Fruited sour. Distinctive taste: coconut, tropical fruit, citrus. Excellent aroma especially with coconut, smooth MF, not too tart. Very different approach and worth checking out. #Meadowkill #Drownedlandsbrewery @Crafted_MA

#drownedlands #brewery Obverse #Belgian #IPA. With #Belgian #yeast #citra #cascade #citra. Very fruity, some dankness, relatively smooth. I really like this style. Start colder. Excellent #beer. @Crafted_MA

At first, lightly spicy aroma, followed by a good fruitiness. Tangy, spicy MF, not overdone. Fruity taste accompanied by a lightly spicy finish. Excellent beer. A chalice is recommended. Start at about 49° and let the beer warm up for more flavor. @Crafted_MA @merchantduvin

Thanks! It’s a Brooklyn Brewery glass. Also, if you are near a dollar store, sometimes you can find very inexpensive beer glasses. I recently saw a lot of their pub glasses for a $1.25 each.
