CT Beer
6/25 Get your ass to Plan B Milford to meet Jonathan Edwards from Oskar Blues Brewery and taste the hell out of their award-winning Death by Coconut. The action starts at 6.
YES! Cone Flakes DIPA is now on tap at Firefly Hollow Brewing. Seriously, you’ve gotta get this Double IPA . . . it’s one of our favorites of all time.
New England Brewing Company is back open . . . and much improved. They kicked things off yesterday with a great lineup of beer and found themselves flooded with thirsty drinkers and growler mongers. Lines were long as people needed their NEBCo fix, but they started to work ithings out and even ordered pizza from Pies and Pints for people who were waiting in line. If you want a growler now, you’ll get an order form and will even get a tag for your growler so you don’t have to worry about messing up its prettiness with markers. And, as you wait for the growler, you can try their brews at the sample bar.
It’s gonna be a great weekend at Relic with bottles of their Ryddle American Farmhouse Ale made with Brett. They’ll also have their Abbygail Farmhouse IPA, Hypatia Belgian Pale Ale, Valencia Orange Fletcher Pale Ale, Thrice Tripel, Fornight IPA, and more.
Yes, people freaked out last week because The Bruery started selling their beer here in CT. Some people are a bit put off by their high price tag . . . how about you? Do you think their brews are worth the cost?
