Connecticut... What's going on?

[tehzachatak]

Yeah that's probably the real takeaway there

HOLY ****

Has Lawson's tried 2Roads beers??

No need to try Two Roads beer... Look at all the other amazing breweries that contract brew there!

Just because their recipes suck doesn't mean that facility can't produce good beer... The Stillwater and Evil Twin stuff that comes out of there is fine.

Exactly. The article states that the water is very similar to his house in Warren, but I sincerely doubt it. Remember how OC Double Dose tasted like a Lawson's beer, just slightly watered down? That's because they used his water, not Otter Creek water...

Do you mean they used Otter Creek's water and not Lawson's?

Agreed, but to me, it's the VT water (or even the water in those 3 specific spots) that really separates The Big 3 in VT. As much as I hate 2 Roads, they do have a great facility to brew beer. Too bad they don't use it to make their own better.

They used Lawson's water.

If they used OC water, I think it would not of had many "Lawson's" characteristics at all

 

[gregkoko]

They used Lawson's water.

Then why would it taste like Lawson's but watered down?

OC took care of the watering down part. Water from Lawson's well, brewed at OC.

There are stupid ******* loudmouths on both ends of that argument, including a bunch of BA sperging shitlords who don't understand the internet adage "don't feed the trolls."

Go get your $1 burrito at Moe's today!

And buy a Corona w/ the money you save or something!

Anyone go to the Two Roads bottle releases today? I'm curious if their sours are any better than their other stuff. I considered going but decided it against it because I didn't want to get Igor's Dreamed and spend $40 on 4 bottles of meh.

I was planning to go, but was stuck trying to buy a new car while they sold out. Wonder if some kegs will pop up outside the brewery, like Igor.
Also didn't want to wait in line. F that.

I'd be surprised if at least some kegs didn't pop up at local bars/restaurants. Since they haven't put out anything can't miss yet I figured that was probably the best strategy, wait for the reviews and try to find it on tap somewhere if it turns they're actually awesome.

Yeah I would have went later this afternoon and grabbed bottles since I love blowing money on beer I don't even want But it was gone by the time I could have gotten there... (last week someone told me they expected it to last a while, so I was hoping to show up late and not have to deal with a line... so much for that)

 

[thermic]

I swear I saw a post from Mikro on Saturday saying they will have the only keg of urban funk outside of the two roads tap room. I can't find it now though, so maybe the situation has changed.

I really dug Urban Funk and Pucker is a decent berliner. Both were better than I expected they would be.

They have a Kriek and Guezue coming out in October too.

Kriek Lambic

didn't think either of the sours were bad... both pretty good IMHO

actually, they started to restore my faith in Phil to brew great beer.

New canned beer from Two Roads - Session IPA

actually vaguely interested in this. can't be worse than most of the other session IPAs out there (says me now), and i like Azacca a lot..

I think it's based off their Anniversary beer which I enjoyed as far as session IPAs go

I'm really just commenting that they put crushable on the can
(now everyone can proceed to tell me all the other craft session IPAs that do this)

 

[chaggy5]

As far as whats going on in Connecticut, Rising Pint beer fest tomorrow at Rentschler. Anyone attending?

As much as I think 2 Roads is terrible, their 5th anni beer wasn't too bad. If this is based off of that, it may not be as god awful as White IPA, or many of their other beers.
