Top 5 MA breweries

I haven’t had enough MA beer to weigh in on this one. Most MA beer is just not good or straight up copy-cats of Hill Farmstead who are too lame to find their own yeast strains? Too many MA brewers are brewing milkshake IPAs or copying Hill Farmstead.

It really is just a god awful argument. I mean, i get youre half trolling but by your logic, you should give low marks to his wine barrel blended beers-CBC already did that and he is stealing it from them.
You should also give low marks to his NE pale ales-Alchemist did that first and he stole that from them.
It’s ok to copy a style from another brewer. Tree house, hill farmstead, alchemist and Trillium all taste very different and the more brewers making good beers the better.

Also no one stole hill farmsteads yeast strain....Shaun began w a commercial yeast strain and developed it over the years: just like every other brewery. ??

My point is, there’s not a beer in Mass that warrants me driving an extra half hour each way to visit instead of going up to hill Farmstead.

Every one I have, I think "this is close but not quite as good as Hill Farmstead"
