    I was looking to come here for lunch, without knowing this was going on. If I am there around 12-1 I will beat the crowd.

    Edit* Will I?

    I am not really trying to be there forever and if there is a huge crowd I would have to skip unfortunately. I am trying to go up and back from boston area from like 7-5 making a few stops.

    Hopzilla fermented with brett. Hasn't been made in a couple years, iirc. Damn good stuff.

    I'm guessing it will be busy, but probably before the worst of the crowd arrives. I've been there times when they are packed with tourists in the summer and they seem to have no problem handling crowds, so you shouldn't worry. It it really is that bad just wait until 3 and walk across the street to Blackback pub. They're likely to have some Lawsons on tap as well as plenty of HF.

    Thanks, I guess I'll decide on stopping in depending when I will be going through Waterbury. I wouldnt mind dealing with a crowd and having to wait, but I am pretty sure my father doesnt want to be on the road all day long so we might just grab lunch somewhere quick.

    I saw the ad for the Pig's Lawson's Tap Takeover in Seven Days today. Underneath it was an announcement that they are doing a similar Hill Farmstead Grassroots takeover right before Christmas.

    Last time I took a bus to Waterbury I had to drive back next day anyway to get my credit card which I left at the Pig.

    Know what I'm sayin'?
