Liked for dated Hag cans.

I feel kind of bad for whoever is standing around with the pricing gun slapping these on six pack after six pack, but knowing cans of Hag are only 5 days old is awesome. I definitely miss the days of getting bright tank growler fills at the old place.

I can verify the time I arrived, and compare to the time I left with beer. To show the duration of my wait in said line. Also I have pictures in the line of where I was the entire time. Whatever it takes to prove they are clearly talking about the WRONG person.

Sounds like you're on the wrong site. I think you where to take this talk.

He was called out on a public forum and is defending himself. I can't fault the guy for that.

So, a package store I frequent sent out an email yesterday that Gandhi-bot was available but they would only sell it as a six pack - 4 cans of Hag and 2 of 'bot. I was so pissed when I read that. I like the store and the owners/employees but that's going too far IMO. Are resellers allowed to repackage beer as they see fit? Am I overreacting?

Amity in New Haven packages it up with 1 can each of Bot, Pils, SeaHag and 668. I think its a kinda good idea to spread it around a little more. Maybe the idea with the 2/4 split on Bot/Seahag is to show people they have other hoppy beers people might like? I dunno.

YEAH that means they're probably going to date all their cans now!

I don't understand how calling someone out is considered a personal attack that should not be tolerated. I DO NOT tolerate line cutters. Humanity has gotten to the point where we should all be civilized members of society. I also personally know the girl who was first to miss a bottle.

Fine line:

Debating about whether line cutting happened or not is one thing; calling someone an ass is totally unproductive and will be treated as personal attacks.

This actually pisses me off more now that they're dating one can from the 4/6packs. I know Amity turns their Hag over quickly, so hopefully getting an old can in these mixed 6ers shouldn't be a problem.

At least Bot is almost always on for growlers now at the brewery, so I never have to deal with searching out cans.

Fine line:

Fine line, sure. Either way, anything to make someone stop doing it (which would be very productive)! If you disagree, i'll shut my mouth

I was there the other day and they were just slapping them on each case as they were putting together the pallet. They just put one on each of the inside four cans, yielding one on each 6-pack. I'd say it added ~1.5 seconds to the process and they didn't seem to mind it at all.

This did bring me to an interesting dilemma when I was at one of my regular stores the other day though. They had sea hag cold in their fridges with 10/23/14 stickers and warm sea hag cases with 11/18/14 stickers sitting and waiting to be put in the cooler. I'm sure the cold sea hag from 10/23/14 was fine but I opted for the fresher warm packs. I figured since they were out front and not hidden that it wasn't a big deal.

No, Forest City in Middletown.

I'm also slightly confused, where did the CBG post come from?

CBG had posted in his own defense, but later deleted his own posts. Probably best not to dwell on it, especially not in the NEBCO thread.

 

[DrWangerBanger]

Gotcha. Thanks for explaining what happened instead of just locking the thread like a certain other board would have done

 

[lambandtunaphish]

@NewEnglandBrew: Sampling some IST off the tank post primary fermentation. Getting anxious for this years batches.

 

[primebeer]

As a follow up to what the dating looks like on the cases, these got delivered to where I work today:

Note that the cans are dated 12/1/14 and it is 12/2/14 today . Gotta love fresh, local beer. Thanks NEBCO!

 

[apatrick17]

Day old Hag sounds phenomenal right about now. Might have to take a little stroll around downtown New Haven at lunch and try to score a 6 pack.

IST and Supernaut on for growlers today.

Hopefully I get out of jury duty early...

Mmmm, supernaut

 

[MooltiPass]

I am very happy about Supernaut being ready today. Currently my favorite of the single hop series. Although I wasn't quite expecting it to show up so early or for IST to pop up along side it so now I don't have enough growlers with me at work.

Nice grabbing some Ducks earlier with you! Hope you can make the next share or that we hang out again soon. Cheers!

 

[DrWangerBanger]

How's the line looking? Anyone know if the IST is bottles or draft?

 

[pjs234]

Per NEBCO FB

Hello friends- just a heads up: Imperial Stout Trooper is almost gone for growler fills- about 30 64's left. Most of IST goes to distribution for stores and bars. Wish we could have made more, sorry.

 

[pjs234]

On draft - but just about gone - see above. Bottles not out yet.

 

[DrWangerBanger]

Line was still wrapping all the way back to the bathrooms about an hour after they posted that message about the IST, if anyone was wondering.

 

[Phin1]

And I was thinking that grabbing a fill of IST and Supernaught on Friday would be fairly "easy". Hoping the `naught will still be on. I`ll need it to chase a bottle of trooper from the cellar.

 

[purephase]

This batch of Supernaut is amazing. Anyone on the fence about getting it should definitely go.
