Head up North to the New Hampshire Brewers Festival

Head up north next weekend - jump on the bus, take a cab or hitchhike. Doesn't matter. What better excuse to get out of the city and enjoy New Hampshire in the fall than a beer fest? The second annual New Hampshire Brewers Festival will be held on Friday and Saturday November 12 and 13, 2010, in the Armory at the Radisson Hotel, in Manchester, NH!

Legacy Brewing Co: Hoptimus Prime

I have to admit, I chose Hoptimus Prime due to its label and catchy name. This is a Double IPA, and is brewed at Legacy Brewing Co. in Pennsylvania. This caramel-colored beer has a spicy aspect to it, and also a little hint of pine flavor. The bitterness and hop flavor do not really show up until the end, leaving you with a sort-of surprising aftertaste.... [Read more of this review]

Anyone who knows me, knows that the way to my heart... [Read more of this review]
