Fiddlehead

Thanks for chiming in & clearly spelling out the distribution strategy. Could you do this more often with new breweries to the area?

This market has been burned way too often with dump & run nonsense, glad to see someone with a plan.

Cheers back at you.

 

Will do. Often, it's a little more of a developing thing and we're not entirely sure what supply/demand will look like. But, we do our best to categorize the breweries we distribute in a way that indicates what supply/availability will be like on our website: http://www.getcraft.co/our-brands/

Obviously not as much detail, but I think it gives you at least a sense of what the plan is for each category.

Not shown on that list are breweries that we work with on a truly one-time or otherwise nebulous basis, like the breweries we work with for Extreme Beer Fest, etc.

I'm reachable via [email protected] if anyone ever has any questions.

 

Thanks for posting. Big fan of Strangefolk; this would be a great event to attend.

That's great news they are opening so soon. I'm heading up to the existing brewery this Friday. Has anyone been recently? Are they winding down? Thanks!

 

Same question here (Thursday this week for me) ... in looking on social media, this past weekend looked "normal" but would appreciate any local insight.

 

So are they completely leaving their old space or will they still be selling beer next to Folino's? I'm heading up there in early June and always loved that combo!

 

Good question, I always enjoyed going across the street to get wine from the Shelburne Vineyards for my wife.

 

I believe it's in the same location, behind their current operation

 

Was just at Fiddlehead a few minutes ago. They are keeping the existing location for sales/growlers, and brewing larger quantities at the new spot (they have been for 3 months now, they said). They said being next to Folino's is a major pull. Cheers.

 

Huge sigh of relief. That beer+pizza combo is way too good to break up.

 

Any more insight into a release schedule? I've been trying to keep up with twitter/FB as someone mentioned on the previous page, but announcements looked a little spotty. Is that still the best way to stay on top of happenings? I'll be in Burlington with my wife 6/21 - 6/24 and would love to be able to game plan ahead of time.

 

They are notoriously quiet about releases. Call them each day you are in Burlington and they'll have it on voicemail.

 

they purposely donot put much release info out. Like already said they update their voicemail everyday that's your best option

 

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

 

Fort Point Market tweeted out a little while ago that they have Second Fiddle 4 packs. Anyone know of other stores getting this?

 

Haven't seen anything else, but the price at FPM was $13.99 for a four-pack. I thought that was great value, considering (I believe) it's $13 at the brewery in VT. First time they're dropping Second Fiddle in MA in cans, as far as I know ... wonder if it will become a regular thing or its a release connected to Microbrew Invitational?

 

It's been here before. In connection with fests there have been drops previously of Second Fiddle and Mastermind.

 

Bryan from Craft Collective (Fiddlehead's MA distributor) here. We're expecting more cans soon, with some degree of regularity. Stay tuned.

 

Booyeah.

 

I will be in Boston early next week so please let me know if there is a drop during that timeframe. Thx!
