Connecticut... What's going on?

[purephase]

That is... A weird pricing scheme. Why the hell would someone pay for the more expensive version?

For the koozie obviously.

their site says "Sorry, no piglets allowed". WTF ? Really loving their marketing spiel.

 

[DrWangerBanger]

Anyone have any insight on when we might be seeing that new, amazing looking SN beer camp 12 pack?

Their overboard puns don't bode well for their beers to me, personally.

No real insight, other than it's supposed to be a July release. Figured I'd see when it pops up somewhere on beermenus and grab it somewhere.

 

[lambandtunaphish]

I'd consider the $84 one if they gave some idea of what the releases might be and how many there would be in the year. ~$10 each for 8 guaranteed fills of special release type stuff is reasonable. I don't need to pre-buy $10 fills of a brown ale or IPA though.

Well, they posted a picture of them working on a strawberry gose on facebook the other day. So that's at least something in addition to the beers on their website.

Anyone going to be at OEC tomorrow? I'm thinking about heading over tomorrow and if any TBers are gonna be there I'll bring some bottles to share (assuming that's cool with the OEC guys)

I'm going, I think. BriceNice said he was going too? I have a couple bottles to pop. Hitting NEBCO first to grab some Locust Reign, though.

I'll be the tall guy wearing the blue Colorado shirt at OEC around 12:30

I should be there about 12:45-1:00. Allagash hat. Say hi. Cheers!

 

[DrWangerBanger]

I hit up OEC for the first time today, really enjoyed the beer and the actual building a lot. Still has that "new building" smell. Location is out in the middle of bum-**** nowhere, CT, though.

 

[blckout201]

Ah should have checked this before I left...was at OEC for the first time today from ~12-1 with my girl. Would've loved to have said hello to some of you guys. Oh well, maybe next time.

Anyone know if this showed up yet?

I asked the guy at Amity today, he said they keep being told that they'll have it soon, but they still don't have a concrete date. I'm thinking probably next week. On the plus side, he said they're going to be getting a pretty respectable amount of it.

Anyone doing the OEC Meet the Brewers thing on Saturday?

Ginger Man in SoNo is going to have all 12 on draft on August 12th. Hoping we don't have to wait that long for the 12 packs (also hoping they're not $30 here).

Gotta goto a wedding...

 

[Knifestyles]

Anyone doing the OEC Meet the Brewers thing on Saturday?

Probably me.

Been there every day that they've been open. No reason to **** up my record at this point.

 

[Knifestyles]

Definitely going to the De Dolle event tonight, as well.

Anyone else?

 

[Phin1]

Vintage Stille Nacht and meeting the mad brewer himself ? Sounds like a good time. Wish I knew of this event before looking at TalkBeer today.

Scope out OEC's Facebook page. They're super-diligent with their updates...even for a brewery that's open only one day a week.

Pretty sure they posted the De Dolle event a few weeks ago.

 

[lambandtunaphish]

If you're not a facebook person, OEC also sends out weekly emails w/ what's on tap/events/etc.

 

[DrWangerBanger]

I know voicing the slightest criticism of NEBCO is cause for crucifixion here, but if there is one thing NEBCO could learn from OEC, it's how well they communicate.

Agreed. I do wish NEBCO was a little better at keeping their tap list up to date.

I think we can all agree Prime 16 is a pretty sweet place to grab some eats and a few pints, but yesterday the female bartender working around 4:30pm had a real attitude problem. Had never seen her there before, but hopefully her attitude gets corrected.

New Haven or Orange?

That's a shame.

 

[Dino1]

That's a shame.

Agreed. I dig that place, and plan on going back, but if it continues, I won't.

I know Norm will always take care of me at Cask.

 

[DrWangerBanger]

Hopefully you mentioned something to a manager, otherwise you have no reason to expect it to change.

Anyone seen any Beer Camp yet? I think I saw Amity say they should be getting it in today.
