Fox Farm Brewery, CT (2018)

I complained about the can prices but kicking myself for passing on Gather. Stopped by yesterday for first visit in months and forgot how much I like this spicy Pils. Will not miss next run.

That shaded picnic area is a nice addition.

 

More cans from Fox Farm this week.... I can get used to this.

Little Brook 6pp
Burst 10pp

 

Shhh.

 

Last release lasted the entire weekend into next Thursday at least. Hoping it stays chill...

 

Yeah it was surprisingly easy. I’m guessing over time it will be much more difficult.

 

Unfortunately, this is close to blowing up.

 

The can FOMO on FB seems like you’re correct.

 

Guys, not sure what all they hype is about, the place sucks. Dirty filthy old barn, pretentious clowns running the place, infected poorly made beer. Do not go, it's horrible.


(ok, that's not going to work, is it)

 

Stopped by on my way home around 5:30... 1 person in line for cans and about 20 people or so just enjoying the Fox Farm life. So chill, it's hard to beat.

Oh and Little Brook is one of my all time favorite blonde ales.

 

These burst cans are fantastic. One of the best batches that I've had.

Stopped by around 1 today. It was a little busier than normal. I'm assuming due to the weather. Still, no wait and the same chill atmosphere.

 

I only hope to keep it this way. The fact it is a bit off the beaten path bodes well but Tilted Barn used to be mellow until every neckbeard in New England began showing up (myself included).

 

Stopped by today and got some little brook and burst cans. Burst in the can is one of the best ipas I’ve had in a really long time, little brook very mice as well. Hate to sound like a broken record, but these guys are awesome. Their beer is as good or better than any out there, and as a place to hang out it’s unrivaled in my opinion.

 

On a Friday afternoon/evening, after the cans are gone, Tilted Barn is delightfully low key and relaxing.

Cans might eventually bring temporary crowds to sleepy Music Vale Rd, but I think at it's worst, Fox Farm will continue to be the quiet hangout it usually is after the traders are out of the way with their cans.

 

Did cans sell out yesterday?

 

They were still selling them at close yesterday. Little Brook is a really enjoyable can beer.

 

I was there yesterday also. Pour lines way too long. Left with both beers that were canned and yes they are excellent.
This place needs more employees for pours on busy days. They're pretty efficient at it, but still can't handle the lines.

 

Interesting. Ive been there several times (always Saturday) and have never waited more than a few minutes for a pour.

 

Going this Sunday. Have never had any of their beer so I am pumped. Gonna be a warm, sunny day, gonna sit outside and drink what is apparently some of the best that CT has to offer.

 

We showed up at about 3:15. Felt lucky to get a parking spot near the door quite frankly.
When we left the pour line wrapped in a big "J" from the order point to out the side door (not the double front door). Probably 3 customers standing in line on the patio.

 

Sounds like a great plan. They are awesome, enjoy!
