Mike and I dove into his background on how he started Small Change. Like most people who own breweries, Mike spent plenty of time working for different places, including@mysticbrewery&@nightshiftbrewing; and he home brewed as well. After doing this he realized he needed a change. That change was Small Change! Based in Cambridge MA, you can really find Small Change anywhere, including all over MA in liquor stores. From Mike driving around in his mini van, to now having an incredible distribution channel with@nightshiftdistro; they have scaled up to the point where their small operations has grown big enough that it's time to talk TAP ROOM!!!. Yes... I said Tap Room. Mike mentioned that hopefully a year form now or sooner, they will have a taproom that everyone can enjoy their great beer in.

Overall it was an amazing review and I want to thank Mike for letting this happen!

Well its clear….. I should stick with craft beer. On todays episode of Frosty Boi Friday, I blindly taste 5 light beers and see if I can guess which one is which.

Before people start hating this is WAY harder than expected. I thought I was going to go 5/5 but turns out I am not as good at this as I thought. I have a feeling that we attribute taste with what we see on the can. When doing this blindly, it becomes 10x harder to decipher which is Natty and which is Coors.

My helpers were as shocked as I was, so I put their taste buds to the test. After we recorded this I had them each try and guess 3 beers blindfolded to prove to them just really how hard this was. And guess what? They couldn’t do it either.

Happy Friday and Stay Frosty

On today’s Frosty Boi Fridays I’m back with roommate #2 @nkaranzwhere we review @wormtownbrewery “Boop”. This clean and juicy IPA explodes with flavor right from the first sip.

On todays Episode of Frosty Boi Fridays, I welcome on very special guest Matt Cote, who is an Assistant Brewer at Aeronaut Brewing in Somerville MA. Today, we got to review "Access Road" a New England IPA brewed by Aeronaut.

Matt and I dive into his life within the industry and I ask him some hard hitting questions. We go over his favorite things to drink, the new Aeronaut tap room in Everette opening up soon, some of the current issues going on, and how breweries are banding together to raise awareness.

Aeronaut, located in Somerville, has been a game changer in the craft beer industry. From their all inclusive environment, live music, and A+ beers, they are a must see place in MA. Not only that, they have a an amazing Venezuelan cuisine vender, Carolicious, which serves up top notch Arepas. As they are growing rapidly, they are brewing more beers than you can shake a stick at. In fact, they have decided to make the move to opening up a 2nd location in Everett MA, which I personally am very excited to go to.

Overall it was an amazing review and I want to thank Matt as well as Aeronaut for letting this happen!

On todays Episode of Frosty Boi Fridays, I welcome on special guest Noah Rodwin who is my friend from AB High and Hobart College. I would also like to congratulate and thank Noah for becoming my Chief Video Editor of Frosty Boi Fridays. Noah came to me with the idea to format the videos better and I had to have him join the Boston Beers team. We got to review Hill Farmstead "Amarillo" a Dry Hopped Pale Ale thanks to Noah.

As some of you may know Hill Farmstead is Rated the #1 brewery in the world. Located in Greensboro VT, the lineage of this family goes back 8 generations. The founders of the town are in fact the ancestors of the now called Hill Farmstead Brewery. To learn more about this beer and the history, go check out the video above!

Tune in next week as I have my FIRST ever brewery employee on! We will be doing a more formal interview, including his role at the brewery and specific beer related questions. Of course, we will do all this as we shotgun a Budlight and drink a new released NEIPA.

ABV: 5.2%

Hops: Amarillo

Color: Golden/Amber Yellow

Aromas: Citrus forward (orange, lemon) with some piney/floral notes in the back. Get some hay/grass as well

Our Rating:

- Me 7.85/10

- Noah 8.75/10

Shotgun Rating:

-Me: 10/10

-Noah 6/10 Had a rough start but then made it up for a clean shotgun
