Fiddlehead

Not *that* soon. But soon!

 

If anyone is looking for Fiddlehead draft in Boston, Cornwall's is the place to be this weekend.

Pouring:
Fiddlehead IPA
New New Rarified Air Session IPA
Second Fiddle DIPA
and making its MA debut, Golden Grillz Pale Ale

Rarified is crazy good, and I'm really looking forward to trying Golden Grillz.

 

Sorry, "New New Rarified Air" is a hop forward APA, and at 5.4% is actually not technically a session beer. But it's still really good. Brewed with oats, ton of body for it's ABV.

 

"The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began. There was Cowboy Neal behind the wheel, the bus to never ever land"

Introducing our newest canned offering, Cowboy Neal!

Cowboy Neal is a big, juicy double IPA brewed with with wheat and dry hopped to perfection.

...
We will be releasing Cowboy Neal on Saturday 7/22. Sales begin at 10 a.m. and will be CASH ONLY.

$13/ 4 PK
$78/ case
(Purchase limit TBD)

After you grab your cans, we invite you to stick around for a peek at our new brewery. We will be serving pints and cans for on-site consumption while Matty-O and members of our brew staff show you around the brew house.

The can sale will be happening at the new facility (31 Sage Ct.; directly behind the tasting room). Cans purchased during the can sale cannot be consumed on site. We will have a separate bar setup inside for on-site consumption. We kindly ask that you put your cans in the car before coming in for a tour!

 

Had an Overstable on draft at The Bench in Stowe on Sunday. One to look out for. Was spoiled as I had to choose between MBC Lunch, SS#5, and the Fiddlehead.

 

Is Fiddleheads website best for can releases, or their social media?

 

They purposely keep things pretty quiet, best bet is to call them. They update voicemail daily, but tend not to give much advance notice on releases. Second fiddle has been steadily available at the brewery for the past 3 or 4 months

 

Good to know. In regards to the second fiddle, all days, or just when they release stuff? Should be final question.

 

Pretty much all days for seconfiddle since they build the new brew house

 

good to know. The website still shows 6305 Shelburne Rd, did they expand, or move to a completely new address?

 

They expanded directly behind the current location (not attached, separate building). I believe as of now that they still only serve out of the old location though the above specifically says this weekend's can release is out of the new location (this is a first).

 

I would definitely call them if you are looking for Second Fiddle as it isn't quite true that they have cans every day. A quick call today, for instance, revealed that they do not have any cans of Second Fiddle on hand.

 

Some Additions:

ALONG WITH COWBOY NEAL, WE WILL BE RELEASING OUR FIRST BATCH OF 2017 MASTERMIND AS WELL AS A WHOLE BUNCH OF SECOND FIDDLE!

All beers are 16 oz cans and prices are as follows:
$13/ 4 PK...
$78/ case
(friendly reminder: CASH ONLY)

The following purchasing limits will be in effect so plan accordingly:

COWBOY NEAL- 3 four packs per person (100 cases available)
MASTERMIND- 3 four packs per person (75 cases available)
SECOND FIDDLE- one case per person (250 cases available)

After you grab your cans, we invite you to stick around for a peek at our new brewery. We will be serving pints and cans for on-site consumption while Matty-O and members of our brew staff show you around the brew house.

The can sale will be happening at the new facility (31 Sage Ct.; directly behind the tasting room). Cans purchased during the can sale cannot be consumed on site. We will have a separate bar setup inside for on-site consumption. We kindly ask that you put your cans in the car before coming in for a tour!

 

Definitely best to call them, it's as if they shun social media. I haven't got involved with their
releases for about a year or more, but before that they didn't post when their stuff sold out. That may have very well changed.

 

How'd the release go today? Any thoughts on Cowboy Neal?

Fiddlehead IPA is regularly available around Boston now. After some fits & starts I think it's really come into its own. A nice balanced clean IPA that's very pleasant to drink.

 

Nice. I got lucky enough to come home with a growler of Hodad the first time I went to Fiddlehead, and I've been chasing that vanilla-coconut dragon ever since.

 

FINALLY! I've been waiting for this since the last canning run. Best breakfast beer there is- goes awesome with coffee on a weekend morning.

Can't tell you how many times I've gone to the brewery and bugged them about when this next release would happen... never to get any solid answers, of course. It's been on draft at a local bar for a few months now and it's been great as usual. Looks like I'll have to plan a trip out to Shelburne soon.
