Connecticut... What's going on?

[GuisseppeFranco]

And in Port Chester, never been, but a place called Coals Pizza has a smallish but good draft list and heard the food is pretty good as well.

Coals is great. I’ve never been to the Port Chester location, my wife has, but we always go to the one in Bronxville since it’s a little closer to us. They always have a HF beer on draft and recently won both the Best Burger and Best Wing in Westchester County.

Newest OEC weirdness. Went up for online sale, wondering if it's worth the 20.

When the hell did CT valley brewing open up? Just had a can of Hop Whammy and it was pretty damn good. I know they were contract brewing for a while at Shebeen but the new brewery is only 6 miles from my apartment which excites me.

It's really good.

What are your feelings on Kombucha? Because I don't normally love it.

I had one of their IPAs recently, it was pretty good. If it's close to you it must be close to me.

Edit: just looked at it on a map, this is just past where I take my SIL to her meds doctor. I'll have to check it out soon.

I don't really drink it, so I don't have any feelings on it. Lots of positive reactions to the beer in the taproom Saturday morning too.

CT breweries hate Tuesday, huh? Only one I see near Hartford that's open is Hog River.

 

[quirk6]

We have a brewery open on Tuesday?

 

[quirk6]

Apparently Relic is open today. I don't really recommend them, but according to this facebook post I just noticed, they have 525 Scotches, Bourbons and Whiskies available for pours including flights.

If you're in West Hartford and want to grab a beer, I could probably sneak out of the future in laws house for a bit.

Any TB peeps interested, I've hosted a Whale bottle share at Two Roads and this year will be our 4th. We had about 25 people last year and it went great. Looking to possibly expand and get some new people to join in the fun.

Here's the link to last year's pre-discussion sheet to get an idea of what people brought

We also do a best in show for a lucky winner and everyone gets a branded glass. If interested, I'm choosing between two dates. You can vote here.
Cheers!

I think they used steam to extract the blueberry juice, not that they're adding blueberry steam to the beer.

Ahh upon re-reading you are correct and that makes much more sense. Thanks!!

10th Anniversary today at Prime 16 with Fuzzy on cask, BA IST, CV IST & more.

Pretty nice list & they slyly released it an hour before opening. I doubt that I'll make it out there, but it's cool for the locals/regulars. And they are doing Ghoulship on Friday night, that I might make the trip out for.

Was in New Haven for a meeting, so I popped in for a quick lunch.

Ducks cask is tasty (but annoyingly priced compared to regular Ducks). Only BA IST and Double Oak Wududator aren’t HH prices.

Can't comment on pricing as that's not something i'm involved with. I was happy very happy with that cask - Vic Secret and El Dorado were what I used, noticed they didn't list it anywhere. I guess if you have a couple half priced items first, it made the BA stuff a little better of a deal.

checked out the new Mikro today...it.is.awesome

Highly recommended, and looking forward to riding bikes up the Canal Path this summer

Anyone going up to OEC this weekend. That Experimentalis has my mouth watering.

Probably gonna stop in for a bit. Not planning on being there crazy early but I'd like a bottle or two of that new Experimentalis.
