Connecticut... What's going on?

[tehzachatak]

Any idea what the "something else" is that they are tapping later?

I have no idea, but I would infer from reading that it would be CBS... Right? Is there any other "something else" Founders beer people would get jacked up about?

 

[MooltiPass]

CBS is my assumption. Might head down for a late happy hour drink and hope they tap CBS at 7 since I have somewhere else to be at 8.

Yeah, I think I misinterpreted a comment that it was not CBS. So I guess we'll see.

In other news - It's July 1st - Anyone fill a growler yet? Eli Cannons just posted on Facebook that they will not be doing it. Assume most places will take that stance.

 

[MooltiPass]

Yep, the something else was CBS. It was stupidly pricey at 13 bucks a glass though. (I may have had two glasses before I knew the cost.) (Maybe.)

 

[davey101]

If you go through Hartford, Manchester Wine & Liquor is a great place to make a stop.

That place is my jam!

... BliS Blast? What is that? I want that in my face.

Nope!

I'm fortunate enough to work a minute away from that store and have the ability to step out whenever I want. I'm lucky!

Yeah I'm wondering is that is what this is all about... and the return of the beer garden

Glad Ginger Man is finally getting around to this - I remember being told they were going to close in the spring to remodel.

When I was there on a Saturday, a couple weeks ago, the patio was closed due to construction going on there. Didn`t realize they were going to close up completely for a bit. Guess I`ll have to drink in the park over the bridge.

Anyone in the area going to Craft 260 tonight?


I'm bringing an apricot berliner from MN if anyone TB's want to try it.

 

[quirkzoo1]

Anyone in the Hartford area have some extra shippers?

Staying with my grandma in Simsbury but I have a car. I went up to HF before a family reunion so I have some bottles to ship back home. I would trade a HF shelf turd for a 6 bottle shipper and a 12 bottle shipper.

Could meet someone tomorrow early 9-10ish or later 5-7ish, whatever works best.

quirk6? pjs234?
If someone can get this done, I'll give you a new one when I'm up that way at some point. Just too far to help him out tomorrow.

I have two 12 bottle shippers. I'll be at work in the 9-10 block, but I should be home in the 5-7 block. I live in Manchester which isn't too far from Hartford. I'm a little sore that quirkzoo didn't send to me in the Star Wars BIF, I expected some quirk solidarity, but I won't give in to the dark side.

I think I have a 6 bottle shipper, just the Styrofoam part. The related box got thrown out... If you're interested, let me know. I work in Simsbury and will be there by 8:30 tomorrow.

Shoot me a text at 626-379-7415 and we will figure out when and where to meetup.

Thanks for the offer, but I will take the other quirk's since he has two shippers.

Actually new plan, we are driving out to Middletown NY to bury my grandpa a bit later than planned so the evening meetup won't work, I will just pickup some boxes and use the box inside a box technique. Thanks for the offer though.

Regarding the Star Wars BIF, I was actually trying to figure out the in person meetup BIF drop but with family reunion and grandpa's funeral I am on a pretty tight schedule.

Ah, okay. Sorry to hear about why you're out here.

If you have a chance, I recommend a stop at DeCicco's in Brewster just past the CT/NY border. Great beer selection.

If anyone is going to the brad paisley concert in Hartford on sat come find me and 2 fresh Julius cans are yours

 

[ilovestouts]

1st Paddy's, and now a country concert crawling with good looking women?

Keep doing you bud!

 

[Knifestyles]

Who's hittin' OEC on Saturday?

 

[quirk6]

I'm hoping to be there. Wouldn't be till around 4, though. Hope that Experimentalis with peaches lasts.

 

[Dino1]

Who's hittin' OEC on Saturday?

I'll be there!

 

[GMRfx]

I'll be there!

Me too. Nice and early...

 

[Fluke828]

curious as to the difference between Exp. #1 and #3 (other than the ABV) ?

Different base beers.

Should be a good time.

We had fun without you last time

 

[lopejuice1]

is this a get-in-line-early kind of release or can I just show up at 11?

 

[lambandtunaphish]

People will definitely be in line early. They normally open at 12, but I'm not sure when you had to be there to get bottles at the last release (Spontalis and another Experimentalis).

I prefer to show up early, not for the fear of missing bottles, but because the line always seems to move so slow.

 

[Knifestyles]

That last release was rough because not only was it a several bottle release, but it was an event.

There would have to be 125 people already in line before you would miss out on the Experimentalis this time and that's a lot of people.

I know that I'm guilty of always showing up insanely early, but I'm taking a relaxed approach this time.

And the 11am opening is to accommodate anyone that plans to buy bottles and take the 12:30pm tour.
