We especially like the first two nights of the four day fest when a good portion of the "can't get em here" UK session beers are in their prime . This year it is being held in a new location - the brand new Aeronaut Brewing space in Somerville, a promising new talent if the tasty session ipa on tap is any indication of future output. We sampled a good number of the 2014 offerings and here are some favorites so far :
Stonehouse Sunlander - nice and crisp , actual Aussie hop flavor was detectable during the Weds. session.
Stonehouse Station Bitter - juicy and fruity flavor
Salopian Automation - watch out this one's a hoppy velvet sledgehammer at 7 %
Ridgeway Oxfordshire Blue - just like the description says light n fruity
Fyne Ales -Sublime Stout - an awesome US-y stout, loved even by the stout eschewers among us
Ridgeway Querkus - just the right amount of smokiness in this light porter
Cromarty Happy Chappy - nice grain-y drinker with a sharp bitter finish
One Love Inks Binka - very nice US dark malt drinker
Hill's Simcoe Pale - we had some of the extra chunky last pours of this before it it was reaped and it was excellent
