Seems like Mike finally realized **** lords in the beer scene don't care about quality, thoughtfulness, and well run brewing operations. They just want hops in cans.

All joking aside really great to see them finally turn on the production spigot, feels like there is a new can and bottle offering almost every other week now and they all look really tasty.

Word is long line at Kane in the pouring rain. I don’t know, it just...doesn’t...seem... worth it no matter how good the beer is. So many releases from so many places.

I'd catch a little hypothermia for a good barrel aged old ale.

I love Monkey. I will head down on Thursday to pick up a case.

For those that have cannonballed to Hill before from Jersey, any advice? Thinking Hill, Parker Pie, and then back home.

I'm a Nutmeger (Conn), but yes, that is a good attack plan to minimize how late you get back home. After Parker, you will be able to hop back on 91 after a quick drive. If you go down to Stowe for The Alchemist, that's cool, but you will then deal with more traffic, go on 89 for a bit, get home later.

Oh and those Monkey cans sound awesome. I had the beer on tap once in Philly and recall enjoying it quite a bit. Does anyone have an idea of how long they will be available at Carton ? I know that some cans sit for a while, but a few move quick, not sure on MCTW though, thanks.

Next weekend is Memorial day weekend so they may be busier than normal but I would expect them to last 2 weeks at least.

this is my preferred cannonball.

you can fit more in, but it definitely makes the day much longer. Guess it depends how much more beer you want/need?

As much as I love Parker pie, when I cannonball I sometimes skip it because I don't want to add another 4Oish min driving. (But that's why I try to stay over)

 

[DigDug1810]

hill/parker/treehouse should be very doable

get to hill at open, get some onsite, enjoy the place... get your to go>parker for some pizza... drive>rest stop at treehouse>home

 

[MikeG1]

Honestly no reason to hit up Tree House anymore when there's no limits on HF cans. Just take the money you were gonna spend on TH and put it towards more Double Citra/S&S6/WIE. Plus you avoid the lines and parking mayhem

The last couple of times I was at Tree House the lines and parking mayhem were over.

This week I would agree with you. My last trip the can lineup was George and Everett . Got plenty of those but definitely needed a hop stash to bring home

I'm thinking this too. I still have hops from my Tree House run back in early April. The trip may not happen, as my 3rd can't make it. 3 people is a good number for some on-site goodness...

You can always find people in line to help split bottles. Some of my best conversations up there have been with random people in line looking for extra livers.

Overjoyed to be able to pick up a few four packs of Head High at the local Wegmans.

Yeah, and at least at my Wegmans we’ve had a few shipments (dated only a few days earlier) and they fly off the shelves so far. Next up Sneakbox?

I was just at the one on 202 today. Canned a week ago. Must have been a fresh delivery today or yesterday.

I have to imagine Overhead and Sneak Box will both be coming in the next year or so.

Thanks for all the advice. We left NJ at 5:45AM, got to Hill at 12:05. Left Hill at 3, got to Big Fatty's around 5 for dinner and we were back in Union County by 10PM.

Just when I thought Wegmans couldn't get any more magical... hnnnggg.

Agreed that Sneakbox distro would be amazing. It is easily my favorite regular Kane beer.
