OEC 1st Anniversary Party

Has NEBCO re-opened yet?

 

you may be able to try Uber.

 

nope

 

Uber is probably a stretch there. nominal presence in Danbury, much greater presence down in Stamford. In Oxford, you'd basically need to get lucky that an Uber driver centered somewhere else just dropped someone off in the area. My 2 cents on that anyway.

 

This Saturday will be my first time going to OEC. Really pumped that it happens to be their anniversary party as well.

 

I suggest getting there early if you can. It gets crowded on a regular Saturday, I imagine it will be even more crowded for the party. Have fun and see you there. Cheers.

 

I'll be there nice and early with a 2L of good morning to share.

 

How did you manage a GM 2L?

 

I am an idiot and I have double shot, not good morning. This is what happens when I post at lunchtime at work.

Aaaaaaaaand everyone simultaneously shakes their fist at their computer screens and suddenly has a reason to tease me saturday morning.

 

Wouldn't mind some double shot

 

Sadly don't have much from my cellar with me at school 0but I'll be there with some Stille Nacht Reserva 2010 and some shitty Upland "lambics" to open..along with some other extracurriculars.

 

Um snr10 is amazing

 

It is indeed, should be nice to drink Saturday morning. On another note how is Billy's BBQ?

 

planning to be there, if people share we can bring a fresh 2l of hf S&S 5 filled today and some lost nation gose cans if peopel thought that might be nice.

 

My plans for getting there early have been thrown out the window. Hopefully looking to get there now around 1 or 2. Any updates on lines and what not would be greatly appreciated.

 

Awesome day a long time in the bottle line but it all worked out.so many good bottles to drink and I think people enjoyed the s&s we brought

 

Awesome day today. One of the best brewery visits ever. Great beers and great crowd.

 

good times and super cool peeps. got all the good stuff in time and glasses of it as well. peach went quick. 1809 and all the party pack stuff were good. malefactus citrus isn't normally my thing - but was solid & the obvious patented OEC unique factor.

 

The citrus is probably my favorite of the three versions of that beer. Really wanted to pull the trigger on the 1809 but the price was just a little too high for me. How was the Bouquet de Fleurs? That was the only one I skipped for time and sobriety's sake. Samples of the 1809, Peaches, and Spontalis were all wonderful, too.

My friend was about 45 minutes behind me in line and asked if I was the one who came up with the 'party box' moniker. Not sure how he knew. Awesome weather, good beer all around and a great start to a day that ended, unfortunately, with Bud Light tallboys on Metro North at 3AM.

 

Thanks to the OEC crew for a great event. I imagine that they've never been bombarded for bottles like that and, while the wait was long, me and my friends were able to grab everything we came for, in addition to trying everything on tap. As it was my first time visiting (had their beers, but hadn't had a chance to go down), it was good to see the space. I hope to get down there again soon.
