What's Happening in NJ? Releases, News, Gatherings

[screwyouguys]

...and I love everything about it. I'll try to find the video of the fight we were around last year. Dude ripped his shirt off, started throwing punches, saw my friend filming and came at us. The best!

I live in nj less than 2 hrs away and have still never been to AC beer fest

Between the awesome punk bands and so much beer

I'm sure I'd get my ass ****** beat

If I wasn't working I would totally be there for Flogging Molly.

99% sure I'm the only ******* who routinely attends this thing on here. Will for sure stop by (late Saturday session).

Will you be stopping by any breweries on the way down?

Probably not, although we may be on the road a bit earlier on Friday than usual... Ideas for the least out of the way good option (anywhere off the parkway)?

kinda sucks they put them Friday night, but the sound in the convention center is terrible.

Parkway Kane/carton/tuckahoe/pinelands

Kane is a 10 minute detour (both getting off the exit and getting back on) and it opens at 5, about an hour and 15 from AC.

Jughandle is a little closer off the parkway, haven't had their stuff though.

Tuckahoe is a good option closer to AC.

Jughandle is producing competently made beer in a variety of styles, many of which nobody gives a **** about. Like, nothing is bad or ****** up in anyway, but I don't think anything is really going to kick your ass. For example, it's maybe the only place in the state I've ordered, crushed, and totally enjoyed a pint of hefeweizen. Some of the hoppy stuff is a little sweeter than I'd like, but overall, not a bad place to tick some beers.

The pizza place next door is pretty decent too, and Jughandle allows you to bring in food, so that's another plus.

They seem to play it safe there. Beers really aren't that bad.

 

[DigDug1810]

i visited jughandle.. while not "bad", i wouldn't say they were "good" either

i'll give them some time and revisit.. but only really would revisit since it's near Kane and i'm up that way a few times.

New breweries really to me don't have time with the landscape today to come out of the gate and be ok and not bad.. something needs to stick out and nothing did for me at jughandle.. to me they are just another one of the many nj spots opening with mediocre suds

 

[pythonhgr]

Kinda wanna make a brewery called Mediocre Suds

I didn't even notice him at first. And no way would I admit to that on this site

 

[seedavid]

Holy ****, this is incredible. If the AC Beer Fest guaranteed I could see something like that, I'd pre-order tickets for the next 5 years, TODAY.

Thinking a trip to Conclave is in order today

Why do you think I've been going since 2010? (gambling. it's the gambling that gets me to go back.)

Anyway, I'll do my best to document something similar this year. It's really a matter of being in the right place at the right time to see something hilarious. I'd love to see someone dropkick the massive sand castle they tend to put near the entrance.

I'm leaving right from work to head over there. Pretty pumped Timmush , took me what, a year to finally leave my hermitage to get back over. Can't wait.

I had to borrow this for my FB page

 

[DigDug1810]

he went full incredible hulk.. impressive shirt ripping!

i'll watch from the videos.. no thanks on going to some bro down in AC

I pre-rip all my shirts a bit now in case I ever need to go hulk in a pinch. Prevents that awkward moment when you go for the rip, but are really weak/drunk af and can't get the job done.

sweet, more 6 month old IPA to sit on the shelves!

My initial thought and fear at exact same moment

You're not wrong. It's about to hit epidemic status. It pains me to see IPA sitting at room temp on shelves. but it's the realization of the world in 2017 for alot of the players. Probably a discussion for a different thread
