Making a NE trading list, help please

[wortchillergoal]

I have another goalie that would like to trade beers. He lives in NH. I have searched and confused myself with the info I could find here. That and the time frame of some of those posts makes me wonder if they are still valid.

That said, seems I posted that much lately, any suggestions for NE beers that you think/know I can't get in NY?

NH can be tough - high registration fees have kept many craft brands from entering the market. If your friend lives in southern NH, he has access to MA, which is much better in terms of selection.

Probably not available in NY:
-Pennichuck Brewing - they bottle a nice (but pricey) RIS called 'Pozharnik'.
-Berkshire Brewing Co. - many good beers in this lineup - bombers or growlers only (Ofest just hit shelves last week).
-The Tap/Haverhill Brewery - they bottle both Leatherlips IPA and Whittier White.
-Wachusett Brewing - I'm partial to their IPA and Blackshack Porter
-Redhook's Portsmouth Brewery has had small batches on draft recently that don't make their way out of the Publick House. Maybe a growler fill?
-Portsmouth Brewery sells bombers in their gift shop or fills growlers at the bar. Tod Mott is an excellent brewer - get some!
-Tuckerman Pale Ale - gotta be fresh! I've had some old, stale samples in the past. Have your friend check the dates.
-Woodstock Station Brewery - bottles are contract brewed by Shipyard and I'd pass on these, honestly. Will be drinking their draft beer while camping in NH next weekend.

There's tons more but this should get you started.

hey WCD- I am expatgoalie on the goalie forum. Just wanted to pop in and say Hi. I am in southern NH, so any Mass or Maine brews you can think of, just let me know. I would be more than happy to do growlers as well if you want. Excited to see some of the replies from this post.


Take care,
Paul
