    They really need to distribute more of their stuff, at least within the state. I am never down near the brewery so I am stuck with the occasional offering on tap somewhere or one of the like four store offerings and only one of those I would call regular.

    I love nowhere near then (hour away) and am just fine with their approach. I get three great beers in distribution and if I really want more, I can count on an awesome taproom visit with a good variety of cans most Saturdays.

    Is this expected to cause chaos? Could we stroll in and expect to get bottles without much of a hassle?

    Maybe a bit more than moderately busy being a Friday before a vacation week, the bottle release itself and with the lovely Space Coyote being available, too. I had it on tap at J. Timothy’s, it survived for over a week, surprisingly.

    ive never seen too much chaos at CW. I expect to wait maybe 10 minutes, mostly due to folks ordering drafts.

    Any CT peeps have an idea how traffic will be going back to Massachusetts via the Merritt and 91N (through Htfd) from CW today?

    for sure the Busiest Ive seen it at CW. 3 lines of folks checking out for cans. Most not buying any of the stout bottles though.

    still only a 15 min or so wait.

    The Merritt? It should be great. Probably only 3 hours worth of bumper to bumper this time.

    Am I alone saying this beer let me down? Amazing coffee nose but drank pretty thin and flavor was ok.

    ive been planning to do mine on New Years. ill post a full review when I open it. Im still hopeful.
    I actually thought the beer should have been called "All of the Things" with how many additives and aging etc was done!
