Connecticut... What's going on?

[InfinityonTrial]

I think that J Tims keeps the best taplist and is also fairly price appropriate, though not that close to Hartford proper.

Based on my experience (I work in Hartford and live in Newington) and would say that J Timothy and McLaddens are the best overall taplists in the area, with my preference far leaning to J Tims for the experience and price. Also J Tims wings and tailgate pretzel are almost too good.

Tavern and Rooster Co usually each have a decent option or two on but not more than that. Trumbull is a cool spot for food but the taplist is short and generally not too interesting. If you want to catch a beer at Rooster (or anywhere that has been mentioned, really) please let me know!

A sleeper spot is Prospect Cafe, which usually has a pretty tight taplist (and tons of good eats nearby). Glastonbury's Birch Hill Tavern is also a very solid bar, though not in the immediate area (still as close as most of those mentioned). If you are going as far as Manchester, I would add Lucky Taco to the list of potentials.

Edit: Eli Cannons is about 20 mins from Hartford and generally has a pretty stacked list. I have found New Park Brewing to be a decent spot to eat food truck food, grab a pint and fill growlers (Hazy IPAs and berliners) any time Thursday - Sunday.

New Park had pretty good beer, but they are super pricey IMO

Agree.

I thought the same thing about Hanging Hills. $8 for a solid (hnot amazing) double IPA in a 12oz glass AT THE BREWERY? Get the **** outta here.

Quick heads up to CT folks.

The Festival announced their lineup.

It includes Two Roads pouring Jambic in the VIP.
Jambic is SHBRL 2.0 [ ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

Last time they did this was for EBF, and the bottle release was soon after.

Forget Jambic, what about this?
https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/30437/297268/

Pouring at the Beer Meets Wood event in Portland and at another fest in DC the same day.

Saw that. No idea what it is, other the Roadsmary made sour.

 

[purephase]

I do not care about your Jambics or your Roadmary's Stepchilds as long as I get an endless supply of Counterweight Workhorse.

[HopStunna]

Anyone in line for double fuzzy?

 

[lambandtunaphish]

Well this ended earlier than I expected

It's pretty sad. I hope they move somewhere close by

Jambic next Wednesday. I'd say it's a dick move doing it that day, but at least it's not a ticketed event like some of their recent bottle releases.

I'd complain, but I don't have to work next Wednesday so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I've been debating half day vs full day off. I'm also interested in the Kent Falls stout they're releasing that day...

 

[InfinityonTrial]

I’m traveling in the wrong direction for Thanksgiving damnit

Lucky it works for me. See ya there lambandtunaphish

Could care less about Zambic after that Coffee Void announcement.

How much less could you care?

 

[HopStunna]

RIP me. I’m gonna blame this one on my autocorrect.

 

[Phin1]

Had some Coffee Void & Double Galaxy tasters at CW earlier, both are very good.
And got a 4 pack of Coffee for the fridge.

All of this with a minimal wait time. Would love it if they were closer. Matt and his staff are doing a nice job over there. Really like the broad range of styles they are producing.

OEC coming out with their first cans today

I like this direction. Too bad for me I work till 9 tonight. Also, I really wish these guys would distro.

Unlikely they'll do much canning. Most of their beers are bottle conditioned and could explode a can. This beer makes sense though.
Wrong time of year for a witbier, but whatever.

Yeah, that thought occurred to me. Still, possibilities, man.

Haha nah I didn't go, skrip said Jambic wasn't good so I bailed on the trip.

 

[QueefLatina]

Better question: did you ask a random guy at Two Roads if he's "Queef Latina"? What was his reaction?
