To piggyback on regularjohn 's point, this is a NJ thread and I don't want to belabor it too much but it's worth noting just how great it is to see the beer culture expanding in the Hudson Valley. Warwick, Chester, Nanuet, Newburgh, Peekskill, etc., it's great to see and provides us in north Jersey with more options. Love going to Kane and Carton when I can, but when we get to summer I always tend to go north and not south, plus I try to avoid the shore whenever possible once the kids are out of school.
Once checkpoint Charlie cans come out I'm gonna go nuts.

It really is awesome up there.
 
Don't expect AOE through tonight.

I might be wrong (usually I am) but this might be the first AOE mention in this thread.

Was able to trade for two cans, one I'll try tonight and another I haven't received yet. There's just so much new stuff available all the time, it's both wonderful and a pain in the ass all at the same time.

But the PITA is worth it.
 
Case limit on the weekend I'm sure that wiped out most of their inventory.

Kudos to augiecarton again for orchestrating another release with no lines and zero drama. I didn't make it but when RC and the variants hit I was able to get both without issue after work on consecutive Wednesday nights despite having to drive the hour 15 down.
 
Twin Elephant Brewing opens May 7th (5/7) in Chatham, NJ.

(HOORAY, like 15minutes from me)
I'm also mildly excited about this because I live 25 minutes away. But I'll reserve my excitement until I taste one of their beers.

Thinking about Conclave on Saturday pending the completion of an earlier, miserable task. Timmush I'll bring some goodies.

Edit: I forgot, you'll have the new Gravitational Waves IPA!

My dad doesn't live far from the brewery. Dammit, I really need to get there. And I've not met Timmush but I'll bring goodies too whenever I get there.

Get there early if you can, I have to leave around 3:30 for my son's communion. Gravitational Waves will make you happy.
 
Parking lot bottle share? I have Kane Cognac 1095, Casita Cerveseria Tè Amo, and 2SP Bourbon The Russian. Maybe some Heady.

25-40 min.

ahhh damn that would have been awesome! i left extra early today but let me know next time you're around we can drink in my shop.
 
Is there a Missed Connections forum on TB, yet?

You: Wearing jorts, a screen printed Hill Farmstead t-shirt, and a trilby. You smelled of b.o. and lambic farts.

Me: About the same, but wearing a Tired Hands t-shirt and a Cellarmaker hoodie.

We briefly locked eyes in the Treehouse parking lot early afternoon on a Wednesday while waiting in line for cans of Very Green. You had your team of mules with you, and seemed preoccupied with giving them instructions. All I wanted to do was talk to you, but I understood your struggle all too well, as I was on the phone shouting at my grandmother to gather up her mahjong club and get their old asses over to the brewery so I could get extra allocations.

Although the acknowledgement of our connection was only momentary, I think we could both immediately feel the passion. I've had dreams ever since of the two of us, stroking each other's neckbeards, sharing our cellars (BUT NOT THE BOX LABELED BIN #1, THOSE ARE MY ******* WALEZ, STAY THE **** OUT).

If you see this, I'll be at the Other Half can release this weekend at 6am sharp. I plan to bring several really good bottles, which I'll only be willing to share with you, out of proper glassware (for 2) of course. If you don't show, just know that the trash I leave behind on Centre Street is a monument to what could have been.

Someone reads the Craigslist's missed connections often...
 
You guys drink too much! We have to take Gravitational Waves off growler fills this weekend, but can do full pours and hope it lasts the weekend. Batch 2 is in the tank now. I promise.

would love to get up to visit sometime! Any future plans to get any kegs down to SouthJerz?
