Once again, plenty of options this week, but my favorite by far was: Channel Marker Siren w/Guava, Strawberry & Lactose.
Description: This past Saturday was a hot one in Boston, and I was in a house with no A/C. Something refreshing was much needed, and this came through big time. Strawberry is obvious as you start to drink it, and it goes down with a huge burst of the guava. A touch of creaminess and a slightly salty edge at the end really make this a complex incredible sour.
What you should know: This was the first time I've seen anything from Channel Marker. They opened in early 2019 in Beverly, MA, and I haven't made it out there yet. Fortunately, this was available (along with an IPA that I haven't tried yet but is in my fridge) at Shubie's in Marblehead, MA. It's unclear how much distribution they do, but I was lucky enough to find it. They have a bunch of different variations on this 'Siren' series, but I can't imagine any of them are bad based on this one.
Recommendations: This is worth going out of your way for, so do it. Maybe give them a follow on various social medias and try to find out if you can get their stuff, or just head on up to the brewery. There's a few other breweries in the area too, so make a day of it.
