Syosset had one the last time I was out there (few months ago, at least). Not sure on the year though...

Anyone have any info on the Southampton IRS bottles? I totally never followed up with that one

Draught only this year with a couple? or most likely no bottles

i heard it will be available in late February (this is starting to sound like our local JWB cept he didn't take any of our money and doesn't want the attention).

Just a heads up if anyone is interested...

I was visiting family on the island this weekend and hit up burgers and beers in Rocky Point on Saturday. They had a cask version of Lost Nation gose with blueberries and citra hops. I was the only person in the place drinking it while I was there...so may still be flowing. it was excellent. Really good stuff.

FYI.....I would NOT recommend anyone getting a growler fill at Whole Foods in Jericho. Went there yesterday to get a growler of Carton 077XX. Opened the growler when I got home and it was completely flat. Went back to the Whole Foods this morning to get a credit or an exchange, and they basically said, "Too bad."

was it possible that the growler wasn't sealed/closed properly? or is the keg flat? perhaps ping augiecarton about this?

 

[LIbeer]

Have no idea if the growler was not sealed properly or the keg was flat. Augie Carton is aware of the situation. Terrible customer service at this Whole Foods.

Some of you may have visited other Craft Beer Cellars throughout the country, Port Washington on Long Island has just opened one.
Come by this Saturday. We're having 5 breweries doing tastings, giving away swag, and doing fills (we have crowlers!) of some cool taps.



I'll working the event, so hope you see some of you there.

LI advise - I am going to be out on the north fork for Thanksgiving and BF. Any place even slightly close that I could go to and try for some BCBS? Or any good bottle shops out that area that are worth hitting up? I know it is way out there so I am willing to drive but would prefer not to head all the way back to NYC area. Also any bottle share interest?

Cheers!

I have seen pics of bottles recently on social media...and also heard that some bottles of french country xmas made it out. Need to swing by there.

 

[cosmicevan]

If anyone needs any shippers, I'm looking to purge a bunch...all sizes from 2 bottle shippers all the way to 12 bottle shippers. Not sure what I have of each, but I should have plenty to spare. Message me and they are yours for the taking...if not, will probably be a bunch of these going out with the garbage on Sunday evening.

Looks like the RIS is on for pours today at the Publick House.
