Twin Elephant Brewing Co. (2020)

Yea, very glad they're working on getting as much into aluminum as possible!

 

excellent news, very happy for them. I'll be supporting for sure.

 

on top of crowlers and cans - they are doing growlers. but they will only be supplying their own growlers.

hear that people? we're all getting exactly what we wanted lol.

Also confirmed that if they do delivery - new providence is included. Got UT coming today, hopefully TE soon; hell may even do Magnify since they're delivering to union county.

 

I'm not, wanted growler fills of the growler I already own, don't need any more of them. I'll be buying some cans next week. Maybe some crowlers this week.

 

see, and that's why crowlers are great

 

going to grab a crowler today.

any recommendation between I'm seeing robots, shimmy, or Holorime?

only one i have had is shimmy

 

in these uncertain times - if you're gonna make the trip, may as well get all 3.

 

I just ordered 2 crowlers of I'm Seeing Robots it's an excellent IPA. The Lil Shimmy Ye' is gone. Picking up between 3 + 4.

 

seeing robots crowler is gone too.

still on for growlers though. Debated about ordering mint condish crowler and ISR growler; but gonna sit this one out as i am stocked up for the weekend. will definitely get beer from TE next week though.

 

valid point.. got my 2

 

picked up my lil shimmy and holormine crowlers.. pretty seemless… couple people waiting and we were all standing pretty spread out...

 

Picked up my 2 crowlers about 3:15, on line but a person was leaving and another came while I was I was leaving. The girl at the door said the people had been coming all day. Good for them .

 

Picked beers up from conclave and thought "well since I'm already out" and placed an order for 2x I'm seeing robots. Got there and it was fairly empty. Waited in the car for a bit to see if I would receive a text when it was ready (12-1p pick up, went in at 12:30). Gave my order number and the person working the desk went to get the crowlers.

What blew my mind was another patron came after me and was basically standing on top of me - and they appeared to be at least 65. It's like how obtuse can you be. There was a third patron in line who appeared to be in their 30s and was waiting outside down the steps giving proper distance.

Anyway, can't wait to enjoy some great beer. For those of you in the area and need something thanto pair with the beer - the New Providence farmers market was fairly empty around 12:45-1pm and well stocked in just about everything (fruits, veggies, deli, pasta, bread, oil, I didn't pay attention to the little dairy section), barths had a good 10-15 people waiting inline outside the market.

 

The wait at Barth is not as long as the line makes it look. They are just controlling the number of people in the store. They don't let 1 person in when 1 leaves. They wait for 10 to leave and let in 10. When I went to TE yesterday there was another person at the desk so I waited at the bottom of the stairs.

 

Rushing Duck, up in New York, prefills crowlers of selected beers and they always seem to sell well.

 

new crowler availability - Inspire Hope, IPA with Spruce Tips.... remember thinking this was a touch too aggressive on the spruce, but I only had a flight pour back then...

In bad news, looks like Gov. Murphy stopped all delivery by NJ Breweries... no word on why... wouldn't be surprised liquor stores and distributors cried foul

 

makes sense about liquor and retail... NJ is so outdatted with our laws, its time for a change, hopefully that can come from this.

Wonder if they have any cans coming this week as well. does anyone know if they had bottles on the way as well?

 

they put true believers, weepeel and split the megahertz on deck. suspect those will be canned and offered later in the week/weekend with any luck.

 

supposedly the licenses that restaurant, bar, winery, and brewpubs have allow them for delivery - even before this mess. But yea - someone definitely complained.

I spoke to Cindy (an owner) and was told they had not started to deliver yet. Guess they won't start. I can understand why the retailers who had been carrying local cans would be upset about the breweries delivering to homes. I don't know what number of 4 packs TE will allow people to buy at a time. If one is allowed to buy a case they will sell out fast.
