Connecticut... What's going on?

[primebeer]

Did this get released in CT?

I was in Oslo, Norway last week and they had cases of it at the Vinmonopolet. Speculation among friends is that it is the base beer for Igor's Dream?

Thought it was pretty good but not outstanding. I was more surprised that I had never heard of it. Ultimately I was pretty stoked to see a CT brew for sale abroad! I actually saw Two Roads beers at quite a few beer bars in Oslo as well which was pretty cool.

Not sure if it's the base for Igor (I did see someone say that it is on Facebook, but who knows).

It was brewed for export to Europe first and a slightly lower ABV version is being released here in October.

Just saw that too. For that list $25 is right on target too. Especially if you are looking to nurse a cheap hangover

Ha, that is probably the first time I've ever seen a beer fest on a weekday, but it looks pretty spot on besides that. Looks like pretty much all the same breweries that were at the New Haven 5k + beerfest, which was very good.

oh my god

do not want so hard

not sure i've ever seen a beer announced and had as strong a negative reaction as i just did

just no.

Kind of want

 

[tehzachatak]

Kind of want

After my initial reaction, I kind of want to hate-tick it now, actually!

I love that it's a 750ml...worst case scenario just bang up some caprese salad

Yeah, I anticipate that I am going to buy it, drink about 0.5 oz, reduce the **** out of the rest of the bottle and make a glaze, why not

Connecticut I will be in you Fri/Sat, looks like I stumbled into an OEC bottle release, anything else going on this weekend?

 

[direwolf4420]

anybody going up to Hill farmstead this week? Id love to split an allotment of convivial and would kick back some extra cash for gas or nice bottles for the favor? let me know

 

[lambandtunaphish]

Oh. They're calling it gueuze.

Gueuze: coming October 25th. Details coming soon. #sourcopia #tworoads pic.twitter.com/8EvC6KtaQP

 

[averagjoe3]

this should be interesting

 

[Juan Gueuzeman]

it's a blend of one, two and three month old lambic.

 

[tehzachatak]

Oh. They're calling it gueuze.

Lmfao

SeaWatchman can you direct some righteous anger here

 

[lambandtunaphish]

Was waiting for someone to do this

Hey, since it's closer to Belgium then they have more right to call it a gueuze right?

Maine is closer than Connecticut bro

 

[jmarce]

Between sticking that stupid giant sticker that was impossible to get off on my growler the only time I went to the brewery, their questionable barrel aging techniques and calling their beers "Lambic series" and "Gueuze" I feel like they're actively trying to make me dislike them. Why Phil, why?

Oh good, now I'm an adjective.

you sure its months and not weeks?

 

[primebeer]

I think I'd be able to get it done if pushed to, but does anyone have direct contact with Phil Markowski? I'm a fan of his overall and though I haven't loved everything pushed out of Two Roads the brewery, I have been pretty impressed with the operation as a whole.

Ultimately, I think it would be awesome to have an AMA with Phil Markowski, as he is one of the best brewers in the US and is right in our backyard. Anybody able to help here?

Our kriek made with local cherries debuts at the brewery on Oct 25th - details to come #tworoads #sourcopia

Please let this happen so I can ask him why he's calling his beer lambic

[Lamnic]

Yeah I honestly don't understand the names. The only brewery allowed to have beers named "kreik" and "gueuze" is Cantillon. Then again... 2R is making so much money these days, maybe they're building a barn in Bridgeport for brewing nothing but spontaneous fermented beers. That lovely sea air sure would make some unique beers

Here's the glass for the event. I didn't buy tickets, since it's too hard for me to get there for 6pm after work. They tweeted that they're down to the last few dozen tickets.
