I belong to the W.H.A.L.E.S. (Woodbridge Homebrewers Ale and Lager Enthusiast Society)- that's Woodbridge NJ, but I admit that I don't get to the meetings as often as I would like to. I was introduced to my first Long Trail beer there - it was given to me after the meeting to try out. At first - I thought this was a homebrew that was just bottled in a Long Trail bottle, but then noticed that it was the commercial beer. The homebrew club often samples both homebrew and commercial beer. I have to say I was very impressed with Long Trail - it is certainly one of my favorites.
