Counter Weight Brewing Company (2018)

Missed the last Innundation cause I was on vacation, hoping for some Void this week!

 

Grabbed some Ein Helles this Saturday and a couple bottles of Armand.

After yesterday, the helles is completely gone, which should clue you in as to how good it is.

 

Ein Helles was awesome. Havent tried my Armand bottle yet. Also, the place was absolutely ripping on Saturday. People were packed in like sardines. I think they're catching on....

 

What time were you there? I was there around 12:30-1:30ish and it was pretty mild actually. Upstairs was blocked for a private event at that time. Imagining it just picked up later on.

 

I was there around 1:30 and it was starting to get crowded. Seems like most people were locals just enjoying some draft, demand for cans wasn't that high. Exactly how I like to see a local taproom.

 

Totally agree. It's refreshing to just go and enjoy some great beers with friends and not have to be hung up on whether you're going to get the take home stuff you want. Part of the reason I love this place. Super high quality brews and a very laid back atmosphere that doesn't (as of yet at least) seem to draw those massive crowds for releases and whatnot.

 

Wonder what the silent will be

 

What’s the connection with HDI and Booze Barn? Just friends?

 

So Void is back today in cans, but with coconut! Why oh why did it have to be coconut!! Oh well, enjoy coconut fans (I'm not one).

Also releasing a collab with Industrial Arts, Weights & Measures, a double IPA.

 

The collab is draft only

 

Yes, you are correct, thanks for clarifying that.

 

Yeah, Weights and Measures was released in cans at Industrial Arts a few weeks back. People were really digging it.

I was wondering if Counterweight would receive a few kegs for the taproom.

 

Had a pour of this last weekend and it was absolute fire. They don't miss with the hoppy beers these days. Excited for Void Coconut.

 

What’s the difference between green and blue label spiral architect? Really enjoying the green label released this weekend

 

I believe green label is Citra/Simcoe and blue label is primarily El Dorado with Citra and Amarillo.

 

Workhorse Pilsner seems to have worked it's way into distribution, thank god. What a wonderful Pilsner, 5% yet so flavorful and still crushable. Good Stuff.

 

Unfortunately only in NH (and possibly, Fairfield) county.

 

Apologies if this has already been covered, but are there stores in Fairfield county that receive regular distribution?

 

Yes, there are a handful. One of them being Trader Joe's on Route 1 in Westport. Which is great, that I can puck up groceries & fantastic local beer on the same trip. No special trip with a long line is necessary.

 

What's the price on it? I enjoy workhorse. But I do prefer ja house lager. $10+ for a four pack of a pilsner is a bit steep imo.
