Firestone Walker coming to Connecticut

I was thinking big guys like Stone, Sierra Nevada, Green Flash, etc. I'd put FW in with that group, Bear Republic I would not.

Either way, you can't get their shelf beer fresh, and you usually just can't get their limited beers at all, both of which are a shame because they brew some great beer.

 

I tried some of the Double Jack when I was on vacation in NH last year. A local liquor store carried it. It was very good! Was that the only NE state that had it?

 

RI has Double Jack...however I mostly order it on tap when I see it, as the stock on shelves never seems fresh enough.

 

I will be doing my part to make sure that any Pivo that does hit the shelf fresh doesn't have the chance to sit around and get old. I think that's the one shelf beer they're bringing that's superior to available alternatives in the state, especially if this is another Elm City-less summer.

 

Pivo Pils, Easy Jack, DBA...mmm. I love FW.

 

Pivo Pils is tasty. I agree it will not sit on shelves long.

 

Full lineup dropped today in SE CT.

 

I will be excited to try Luponic Distortion if I see it fresh. I saw it on Long Island last week but I passed since it was from February.

 

Who is distributing?

 

Not sure... someone in the industry would have more insight.

 

Craft Beer Guild of Connecticut.

 

Just picked up some Luponic Distortion ipa 6pk cans and union Jack ipa at Kays wines if anybody is looking in Hartford County. Packaging is fresh which is great. Canned 4/26/16

 

I tried Luponic Distortion while on vacation in Arizona last month and it was great, glad this and their pils will be available.

 

Ordinary in New Haven is pouring everything from Pivo to Parabola.
