Just came back from the US with my allowed allotment of US brews imported back.
Also stopped at a wicked brew supply place in Connecticut called Maltose Express, in Monroe, CT. Well worth a stop if you are in the area, they specialize in extract and full grains clone brew kits, as well they have some of their own recipes, and are the authors of a couple of Clone Brew books that are currently on the market.
Top that off that they are some generously nice people, and will bend over backwards to help you out. Plus they usually have a couple of beers on tap to try out. One was a Belgian Summer Ale, which was so good I came home with an extract kit of it (along with 2 others). They had 2 taps going, plus one I tried from a bottle (no idea what it was, but it was good), he then asked me what my favorite style was, to which I replied IPA, and he said hold on, went out back and poured off a 1/4 pitcher of one that had just became ready for us to try (almost bought that one as well).
Well worth a stop in, plus they do mail order as well.
