Also this coming up at Delaney's. Don't know if they're trying to hint at something with the last line.

I was wondering if they held onto a keg or if they just leaked some interesting info. I guess if there's a line out the door when I show up for my weekly growler fills I'll know.

FTFY

That'd be a 2 month old keg at that point, but I think they have cycled thru coriolis, galaxy, and supernaut since ducks was last on so...

Oh man that sounds like a nice line up.

Anyone know what they're using for Locust Reign and what Fat 10er #8 is?

If I were a betting man, I would put my money that this new to market hop, Equinox, would be used in locust reign :

Yes, please

 

[thermic]

No, and no, but I would also like answers to both of those questions!

May be down in CT this weekend for Dad's day. Anyone wanna crack some bottles Saturday?

I asked when I filled up today. Fat Tener #8 is an IPA with Equinox hops. Locust Reign is an all Galaxy DIPA.

Fat Tener #7 is decent, but probably my least favorite of the series so far.

 

[pjs234]

Any time frame on Locust, FT8 or Weiss Trash?

Srs need locust in or around my mouth in enormous quantities

 

[MooltiPass]

The way I heard it was that Locust Reign would have a hop blend but the primary hop was Galaxy.

I think I agree about #7 after my taste of it last night. Still filled a growler, so we'll see if my opinion changes 32oz later.

Well Delaney's just posted that they do have a FBD keg for that event. So... new or old batch?

I'd think old, but hope new.

Gandhi Cask dry hopped w/ Citra @ Craft 260 in Fairfield today at 4 (was on last night for a beer dinner there)

Anyone know if anything new will be on this week (Locust Reign/ #8/ Weisse Trash)?

 

[lopejuice1]

woah, NEBCo has a beer called Locust Reign? And it's an all galaxy IIPA?? Used to listen to Converge once upon a time. So many reasons I need to try this beer!

It's not ALL Galaxy. It's a blend using MOSTLY Galaxy.

Any news on when its coming?

 

[lambandtunaphish]

Fat-ten-er 8 being added in the tasting room tomorrow. 6.8% IPA brewed with a whole lot of equinox hops.

I should be there around opening...

Anyone had a commercial beer with this hop variety yet?

I'm really digging Fat Tener #8. It reminds me of some of the Treehouse IPAs. Hopefully they they are on top of the Equinox thing and put in a good size order because I'm going to need more of this.

Still LOVE the live version of "Locust Reign/This is Mine" on the "Unloved and Weeded Out" LP & Converge in general. Damn, to be 16 again...
