The bottom shelf of my fridge has a shitload of 12 oz cans, including Revolution Anti-Hero, Scofflaw IPA, Odd 13 n00b, Orpheus Transmigration of Souls, and the aforementioned CC (Tropicalia). And they're all glorious. So.......... yeah.

But anyway... Is anyone going up this weekend? Was thinking about making a run to celebrate the school year being over, but not 100%.

I wish... I don't think Newmoneyloons wants to go all the way up there though

I'm debating. I need to pick up some things. There is a plethora of stuff in our area, as you know. So it's a) drive 5.5 hrs to VT to buy beer (and then back) or b) drive (what could end up being) a total of 5.5 hours around the greater NYC metro area (Suarez, HV, Interboro, etc) to buy beer.

What are you guys up to?


Aaaaaahahahahahahahahah

We were thinking of Suarez and then maybe dropping by axeman9182's brew day (maybe talk him out of a bottle of his award winning barleywine) but I'd love to go up to HF. It's been far too long.

I know. I'm starting to get twitchy. Obviously it's been almost three months, which I'd say is a long time for us!

That said, Suarez Saturdays with Os... it could be a thing, right? Worked well last week! :D

Referend release!

Ugh I know! That would certainly factor into the 5.5 hrs of driving around the area for beer. Eq bottles Sat too. :eek:

honestly, I think only HF could entice me more than Suarez right now... that Pils and Helles are on point... Keller was tasty too...

so yeah, if Newmoneyloons or you, raginasian238 are up for HF, let me know... otherwise, we can certainly meet at Suarez
 
Cant wait to see cans of Edward. Gimme all of it.

Ok, I'm willing to allow a little NYC metro creep, but when you start including Suarez and my area code, I draw the line.

 
Please tell me you are kidding.
Actual quotes from across Reddit and Facebook: "I've been saying for awhile that you'd think with a name like New England Brewing they'd make an effort to get with the new style," "They make ok beer. Seems to be an old fashion brewery they don't make any good juicey new england style ipas. Which is silly their name is newengland brewing company. Guess their stuck in the past," "good marketing they are a gimick brewery where the quality of beer comes after the cool logo and name." I never thought I'd roll my eyes harder than I did when a guy declared that since they're New England Brewing, their locals are really the entire region and they should never do silent releases just for the regular customers in Woodbridge/New Haven, but this definitely comes close.

primebeer and I had a charming conversation with a random guy at a bar a while back who passionately declared that if they had any real business sense they'd completely pull out of distribution, retire their existing IPAs, invest in a 16 oz canning line, and start selling new hazier IPAs directly out of the brewery.

there's something about beer that leads the consumer thinks they know more about the business side of things then the people who know sales and financial data.
