The NEBCO Lookout Thread

Probably an hour and a half line now? Growing...

 

[MooltiPass]

I should be there in about 30 minutes. Here's to spending another large quantity of time in line after last Saturday.

 

[averagjoe3]

Was here at 240 ish and was about 40th. Line is easily 100 now

 

[thermic]

They had 3 lines of FBD and 2 lines of GBot going so the growler line moved pretty quickly. 1k bottles of blanche.

Glad I wanted to grab Coffee Breath and got there exceedingly early.

 

[bizoneill1]

Well this looks delicious...

 

[tehzachatak]

I liked coffee breath quite a bit (the sample I had), and definitely a lot of coffee, but thought for a imp milk stout it could have used noticeably more sweetness and the mouthfeel was not my favorite. But, my palate was also completely blown at that point anyway so who knows. Will drink a growler tomorrow and re-evaluate.

Also, props to Craig and the other folks in the tasting room... that was the fastest I've ever seen a NEBCO line go before.

I think I was just drunk on Saturday when I tried CB. Perfect amount of sweetness, awesome mouthfeel+viscosity - almost seems as if it's nitrogenated. Can you fill nitro growlers?

FBD on cask is some next-level ****.

Destroyed several pints at one of the NEBCo takeovers at Prime a couple years back (was that Citra'd too???).

At one point I had ticked every NEBCO beer but Zapata, goofy variants and the real old stuff like Atlantic Amber. Throwing in the towel

bro, do you even FuzzyBabyDick?

I checked out OEC on Sat. After being 2nd in line and only having to wait 20 min to get fills, I don't think I care enough about FBD to wait over an hour.

I was just about to ask if anyone is there right now and would post about the line, then I saw the update NEBCO posted about the e end of the line sign. Maybe I'll take my chances Wed night...

Good luck everyone!

I heard they made twice as much as last year. Should last easily through tomorrow.

The line moved VERY fast relatively. About 35-40/hour. Not worth showing up more than 1.5 hours early IMHO

It's no fuzzy baby dicks, but week old sea hag is just a thing of beauty! Kudos to NEBCO for using a grocery store price gun to date sixers now. May not be high tech and I'm sure it's a pain in the ass but it's really awesome to reach for some cans and see a fresh date.

 

[chaggy5]

I just read on Instagram that people are going to camp out at nebco tonight to be first in line tomorrow. Holy ****, I hate beer.

 

[ilikegoodbeerCT]

Actually I was 2nd. Next to Knifestyles being that first dude just saying

I still maintain that Hag right off the brite is one of the greatest hoppy beers I've ever had

I agree. I feel spoiled that fresh Hag is my go-to beer, let alone go-to IPA.

 

[KindofBlues711]

I must've been first in line then. I was there with my wife around 4 on Sat.

 

[ilovestouts]

Anyone else here yet?

Can't tell if joke or misunderstanding. There were like 20+ of us at OEC at 10 AM on saturday.

EDIT: Maybe you meant 4 AM.

 

[tehzachatak]

Damn, are you actually there? How many people so far? That's one hell of a wait.. six hours?

 

[averagjoe3]

someone post a pic of a line there this early lol

 

[tjroar]

There are already people there?!?!?

This is a joke....right?

 

[chaggy5]

This is a joke....right?

That or the other people were going to get there at 9AM

 

[Lamnic]

It must be because of the bottle release as well. Anyone have a good figure on how many Blanche are left?

 

[MooltiPass]

Couldn't agree more, the fact that it's less than 10 bucks a six pack pretty much everywhere is just the icing on the already great cake.

If a line at NEBCO actually exists right now I really, really want to see how long it is. I like FBD but good god is that a big commitment. On the other hand someone over on the CTBeer subreddit posted that he was the last person to get fills and heard Matt say they'd have enough for about an hour and a half's worth of pouring today. So while I'd never wait that long for FBD it might actually be necessary if you wanted to get in on what they'll have available today.
