That makes sense, since I had it on tap, but still haven't opened the bottles I bought. Has anyone opened a bottle recently? Has it cleaned up at all?

I actually haven't opened any of my bottles since fresh, but I had one at a restaurant a few months ago and it was really good.

Not sure when it came out but I had a bottle in Sept that was great.

Thats good to hear. I was thinking about opening my Funk'd bottles with friends in the near future, so I'm glad Blanc won't be gross.

Speaking of which, I'm still ISO a bottle each of Nelson and Ella if anybody wants to help a dude out.

Was at the taproom for the first time in a while last weekend. Place was cranking...there was a line to get in at 4:00. Bennington was good, although not much maple flavor. There was also some Citra pale ale on that I really liked. Those guys have really come a long way...I was digging it.

 

[bearsonacid1]

I second this. Hell, I even thought Blanc was good fresh.

Do they still make and/or can Santilli with any consistency? I remember having the Morph batch that that was based on, and it was goooooooooooooood.

There were some comments a few pages back about this after I asked the same thing. I've not experienced any consistency the handful of times I've bought it

Didn't read it all, but does this mean a bunch of beer sits around until they can sell again?

They can either choose license suspension for three months, or a fine equivalent to three months of revenue. The fine's got to hurt, but I imagine the suspension would hurt more.

You'd never take the suspension as you lose all your draft lines and would have a hell of a time getting back in, not to mention the fallout from the brewery side. Whole thing is a bunch of ******** if the ABC isn't going to fine any of the restaurant groups.

There's an accompanying article that says the restaurants will get charged soon.

Is there normally a huge line at Night Shift on Saturdays?

It gets packed in the bar sense, but usually there isn't much of a line to get in.

 

[dgoogle]

Hmmm the line is real long right now...

I visited the Idle Hands/Enlightenment brewery in Everett several times while they were open at their old location. The only Enlightenment merchandise I ever saw for sale was a t-shirt. There is an active FB page for Enlightenment Ales. You can probably ask Ben there for more info or if he ever produced other glassware.

I did receive one of the glasses you reference at the Atwoods event. I believe all of the advance ticket holders for the event received one. Let me know if you need a better picture of it.

 

[bearsonacid1]

I go to Atwood's quite a bit but have not seen that glass. Is it the same glass as the Trillium Lineage one?

Wasn't there a VERY brief time when Fiddlehead cans were popping up around Boston? Could swear I got a 4 pack at CBC Belmont last year.

Yeah Craft Collective did a small burst of distro for them last spring right before ACBF, and since then I think its come a few other times.

I haven't seen it on the shelves in Boston but Lord Hobo had cans in Feb during EBF week. Looks like Merchant has cans available tonight also.

 

[tehzachatak]

Any sign of BlossomGeuze anywhere in Boston yet? Did I miss it?

 

[Aaron from the Wood]

Have not seen any signs of BlossomGeuze or Cuvee Rene Kriek yet. Also, no check-ins on Untappd within 50 miles.

 

[jwazzy]

If anyone is up north enough to be worth it, cuvee rene kriek hit in NH. Bought a bunch at 12 per.

Relax. It is a very good fruited lambic. Cheap. Let's have an in depth discussion of like items easily available in the area.

Get over yourself. You are a great poster but the hate everything edgy **** is getting old. Sorry for breaking the fourth wall.
