The NEBCO Lookout Thread

Found James Bean on tap the other day here in CT, so I figured I would skip this. But the Golden Brett and Bourbon Black might get me in the door (as long as it's not as crowded as the Founders night was in the spring)... CT TB'ers, hit me up if you plan on going.

Bourbon Black is on my #bonerjams2013 list - the base beer is perhaps the only Allagash beer that i've had and SERIOUSLY disliked (except Very Special Belge, but that's a collab, and Avance, but I've accepted that I'm just wrong on this beer because everyone else I know loves it), but the bourbon version is so good....

Fat-Ten-Er #2 is gone. #3 (milk stout) might be on tap next Wednesday. Currently Gandhi, Elm City and 668 on tap.

Also seems like some fresh Gandhi cans just hit the New Haven area.

******* annoyed I missed it.

Will be at brewery tomorrow around 1:30ish if you wanna meet up and crack some bottles though.

I'm surprised it made it until Thursday... Was hoping to grab another growler last night (even though it was by no means my favorite DIPA from them), but they close too early. Hopefully they stay open later after the move.

And probably no go on the brewery (but you already know that), but maybe Prime for happy hour (even though the tap list doesn't look too interesting for tonight).

I'll just post this here instead of making a new thread. Olde Burnside Father Christmas is VERY impressive this year. Straight up cordial cherry. That is all.

What's the availability on the Christmas? Didn't think to look for it recently.

We could use a general CT thread. Would help with future releases, especially with BCBS and variants next week.

Pretty side Ive still seen last year's around , but will make sure to find a bottle from this year.

I wouldn't be able to get down there until 2ish...but I might be in.

 

[lambandtunaphish]

Yes, it's right across the street. I thought that I heard they were hoping to open the new place this month, but what do I know. On Twitter this morning they said "no details yet".

Might have to for a bit. Maybe 1:30ish?

I got the OFFICIAL OK from the boss. I'm good to meet there sometime around 1:30.

Might have to bring my boss with me and disguise it as an errand to pick up our Christmas tree... So I'll try to be there for 1:30.

Word. I'll be there 1:30ish too then.

But if they decide to go out with a bang and put something besides the usual suspects on tap, I'll be there at opening.

 

[davey101]

I'm aiming for 145. Think they'll be relaxed about bringing bottles to open? Last time I did Rob wasn't super stoked. I can bring a velvet merkin or halia or something if you guys are around.

I bring bottles every time. They're used to my/our schenanigans by now.

As will I....

I'll bring a Soigné and maybe a 2011 Stout Trooper for ***** and giggles?

Hopefully the weather isn't too messed up tomorrow...

RIP 7 Selden

Went out like a champ though!

Thanks to all those involved!

Was anything special on tap? I ran into some car issues and couldn't make it down

Same as what was listed, we just had a nice bottleshare.

 

[GuisseppeFranco]

When will the new digs be up and running for fills? Or is it already going?
