Plan Bee - The Hive 2016

The NYC pick up was flawless. I was in and out in under 2 minutes. They really have their act together with this (based on my experience)

 

Glad to hear that. Did the bar happen to have any draft of bottles for on site consumption?

 

People were mingling and drinking but I couldn't tell if it was plan bee stuff. I was in and out so quixk

 

No.

 

Great pick up today. Got to chat with Evan for a few minutes and there will be a bunch more beer available now that the new system is going. He had a bottle of Tree Beer from a previous release he was giving small pours like at the farmers market. Can't wait for the next set and to visit the farm when the weather warms up.

 

I live about half an hour from the farm, but it might have been worth the trip to the city for a pour of Tree Beer!

 

It was pretty pretty tasty. The Daisy Cutter and Green Diamonds on tap after were the icing on the cake. If you havent been to One Mile House it is for sure worth the trip.

 

Damn! I missed the pour! Wonder if I was there before or after. OMH had a great taplist but I didn't drink there because I was Brooklyn-bound.

Did get to chat with Evan and Emily and they're both very nice people.

On another note, I can't find an ABV for the life of me on the Quince bottle. Am I blind or is it not there? Anyone know what it's clocking in at? Not that it matters for
Anything, i'm just curious.

 

Has anyone cracked their bottles yet? Reviews? Thoughts?

 

Just opened Wild Rose. Tasty but has zero carbonation. Flat as a board. Not mad at it tho.

 

Just an FYI -- most Plan Bee bottles don't have the ABV listed. I think they make an effort to do so on the occasional higher ABV beers they brew, but that's pretty much the exception to the rule.

 

Appreciate that info. Quince will be my first taste and I'm pretty excited.

 

Mine had virtually zero carb as well. Really enjoying it though. Definitely an easy drinker and great for a warm outdoor day.

 

I feel like you deserve an apology @DrewZ926, as it appears as though I was feeding you lies

"MARCH 5th Farmers market cancelled!

Unfortunately, we STILL are not ready to return to the farmers market. We are so sorry for any inconvenience, we are very eager to return to Cold Spring's market and fingers crossed, we will see you all at the April market!! We will keep you posted

Thanks for your continued support!"

 

That's a let down, was going to be in the area this weekend. Here's hoping April works out...

 

Quince was really good stuff. Wish I had more bottles

 

Ditto on the Quince sentiment. This is fantastic.

Didn't really care for the Orchard.

 

What didn't you like about the Orchard?

 

Also, for the more seasoned Plan Bee guys, what would be your ideal beer in the magnum?

 

I thought it was exactly as advertised. Half sour, half cider. Speaking for myself, it was quite enjoyable.

And yes, Quince was awesome
