With all the positive press Good Morning keeps getting, I hope my growler holds up well until I get to JCastle's place on Thursday

DonFrap are we gonna blend BG&E with BCBCS and some HF syrup or what?

Sure, why not? I've got some Bcbcs and sizzurp left

Those growlers hold up really well in my experience. I had a two month old Juice Machine (wasn't on purpose, I forgot about the growler's existence) and it was perfectly carbed.

Tree House and Hill Farmstead know how to fill growlers.

I've had KBBS, and it is my favorite beer of all time. That being said never in a million years would I trade what it takes to land one.
Had faystons PVW on Sunday, couldn't pick maple out of that beer at all (like most of the faystons for me)

Yeah KBBS was fantastic, it was definitely the flavor of the month. What did you think of the Fayston PVW in general?

didn't have much barrel characteristics to me. Didn't seem a huge improvement over the base. Lawson's is my favorite brewery, but i unfortunately am underwhelmed by the faystons variants. Except rum, rum was fantastic.

I agree with this in terms of the variants. Something about the rum with the base was just fantastic. And the only time I've had Fayston on draft I enjoyed it much more than the many times out of the bottle. Got more maple, and the mouthfeel was much better. Bummed the PvW was underwhelming.

yeah draft is definitely different, last years bourbon was amazing on draft, in the bottle i didn't like it at all. Rum was also better on draft, but still amazing in the bottle.

Any idea what is going to be on tap other than BoC?

BoC has kicked, Julius is on.

Thanks Jay. Hopefully it lasts till Saturday afternoon as that is probably the earliest I can get there this week

 

[sparged]

Curiosity Eight too. Going to be in Worcester this weekend, may have to try to make it out on Saturday.

I took the 7 hour (back and forth) drive two weeks ago to Tree House and I'm hooked after having Julius and Curiosity #8. I'm contemplating going again this week for Haze, Double Shot, and Green.

People more familiar with their beers, this is a really good tap list right? I'm just asking based on whether I should get some patience and wait, or just go if it rarely gets better than this.

It may get better, but that'd be tough.

Yeah, this is a really, really good list. Haze is great, I like Green substantially better than Julius, and Double Shot is probably my favorite coffee stout.

If you want those beers I would go Thursday.

Green is top tier without question. This batch of Double Shot was my favorite yet...which is saying a lot because that beer kills. Haze batch#7 was also probably my favorite yet but I'd still take Green or Julius over it. FWIW this has been the best lineup in some time imo (with the exception of the Good Morning release because that beer was nearing perfection)

 

[JbrewRI]

Does anyone want to trade a 750 of Double Shot and/or a 750 of Green? I can't make it out there tonight... we could swap in person for some Hill Farmstead bottles somewhere near Providence, RI ?

I think tehzachatak was going today

 

[Ataraxia1]

Green has kicked, Curiosity #9 is the replacement. It is apparently a Mosaic single hop IPA

 

[tehzachatak]

And it is really good

 

[tehzachatak]

Haze kicked and sounds like double shot's kicking tonight

Ah, wish i saw this.

I was there at 4:30. #29 on line. Took until 6:20 for the fills.

wow, an hour twenty to get through 29 people. That seems slow for them

Last time I got there around 7:20. Looked like 15-20 people inside ahead of me. It took me an hour plus.

Just expect a long wait. Dean was quoting 2 hours for people that walked in after 5:00.

The plus side is that you don't have to wait in an actual line. Love that about them. Still not sure why more breweries don't do it that way. Time goes by soooo much faster that way

Exactly, i love standing around awkwardly for 2 hours.

Yeah, I got there at 5 (except everyone was already inside the barn like a sardine can) and walked out at 7:30. It does seem to take longer to move the same amount of people through the station each time.

Pretty much. No one seems to want to drive to Brimfield like before Tree House moved.

I did discover they had a porta potty out back - never knew that. Too bad I had been sitting there for over an hour already wanting to piss
