Trillium Brewing Co. is back

4 weeks? Ugh. Just toss them into the harbor.

 

@JCTetreault you guys are the shit, glad you got this worked out and welcome back!

 

Just got back. Line for growlers was around the corner, probably 20-30 deep when I left. Got there at 10:10 and it took me about 25 minutes with only 10-12 people in front of me. Everyone was getting 3-4 filled, it seemed. Bottles-only line was much shorter, maybe 5 people, but I am sure both will increase at lunchtime now that the word is out....

 

Pretty sure the dates I had on melcher st were 12/11 or something like that. Congress was about a month out like 11/24ish

FWIW, I prefer their stuff more after it has been out for a few weeks. It takes an edge off some of the harsher hop flavors.

 

Bottle line was much shorter.

 

"Congress st ipa bottles rolling off the line now." (12:56 PM via Twitter)

 

Yep. '12/23' on the ones I grabbed around 1pm

Melcher St. - 12/10

 

In and out for bottles in 5 minutes. Growler line was around 20 deep. Fastest 200 I ever spent all worth it to get em back up and running.

 

After 6 months drinking their beers I finally make the trip for the first time today (15 min drive from my job). I had a bad feeling about I-90 West (And I was right!) So I skipped TH for today. In and Out in about 10 min. The harder and longer part was finding parking and getting out of the city which took me about 35 min.

Awesome first experience with Trillium. Quick service. Will be back again!

 

Would be glad to do something similar in the future, please keep me in mind!

 

Glady paid $18 to park and visit my favorite brewery today! It was a long walk back with 2 cases of beer!! Great to see a good size crowd early in the morning!

 

Ahhhhhhhhh. Not a minute too soon.

 

Work in Woo to Trillium at 4pm - 1.5 hours. Trillium to home in NH at 5 pm - 3 hours in traffic. Worth it.

 

Can anyone give an idea what was left for bottles tonight? Cousin stopping by tomorrow and was hoping for ddhfppa, mettle, congress. Thanks!

 

FWIW, I got there around 7:50 p.m., left around 8:05 p.m., with my wife double-parked outside. Grabbed a 64 oz. Congress Street and FPPA, a 32 oz. CS and FPPA, a 32 oz. Broken Angel, and plenty of bottles, including Mettle (six bottles), DDHFPPA (two bottles), Melcher (two bottles), and a Sinister Kid and PM Dawn bottle (one each). They absolutely had the process down tonight -- they were expecting a crowd, and from the sounds of it, they got it -- but everything moved quickly.

They were still on case limits, and they didn't seem too limited on any bottles. This was about an hour before close, so something may have changed, but I think JC indicated he would update the website before open tomorrow.

Still, I think you'll have luck with DDH FPPA and Mettle in bottles. Congress was on tap when I was there, and IIRC, they just did a Congress bottling run on Tuesday, so I assume it will probably be left -- certainly at open.

Best of luck! Glad to see Trillium open and killing it again. Have already had the Broken Angel and a bottle of Melcher Street. Melcher may be even better than I remember it ... this bottle is fantastic.

 

Good luck to your business if you ignore mail from your regulatory agency.

 

Especially glad to see that issuing the 2014 license hasn't had adverse consequences on stock preciously brewed without a valid license. If this was a discretion of the ABCC, kudos to them.

 

After this huge ordeal in Massachusetts, I think you guys should move to ct. There is an open spot right down the street from me...

 

For your holiday beer shopping per Trillium's Twitter, 8:23 AM:

10am-5pm today! few cases of Double Dry Hopped Fort Point otherwise we should be solid on the rest of the list today http://www.trilliumbrewing.com/wordpress_blog

 

Thank you very much
