    Oh man, I’d love to, but I’m already going to Idle Hands’ mug club event Sunday night. If you’ve never been to one you’ll love it.

    Might swing by after the gym tomorrow though to have the Vienna, and probably the Dunkel on draft too.

    Notch’s interpretation - of a Baltic Porter - becomes a reality:

    What do we know about Cerne Pivo "in the wild?" Are they out in distro or should I trek to Salem?

    I'm trying to determine a course of action for holiday stock-piling (we host). And while I love having basic-but-great options like Modelo or White, I like taking the holiday as an opportunity to load up on special stuff that requires a slight journey to a brewery.

    Kegs a plenty too.

    Think I saw it on tap at both Brewers Fork and Row 34.

    Do we know where the packaged beer was brewed? I’m drawing a blank as to where they do their contract stuff. Zero Gravity? Is that right?

    Černé was not brewed at Zero Gravity. A few beers are brewed at ZG.

    I’m not suggesting it would preclude me from buying, but last time I bought Festbier, I was “warned” that it was a Zero Gravity batch.

    Maybe given the scale of that event and the volume of beer needed (I heard the number of barrels, but can’t recall it now) it can only be done reasonably on a larger system.

    I think with certain beers that see wider/full distro, session Pils and kölsch, off the top of my head, those are done at ZG.

    Whereas as černé is only available in MA and RI distro, it’s done in the local brew houses.

    Rummaging around the back of my fridge, I have a stray can of Festbier. It says "Brewed and canned by Notch Tap Room, LLC, Burlington VT." The can of Cerne from the front says "Brewed and Canned by Notch Tap Room LLC, Salem MA."

    Zero Gravity brewed.
    Brewed at the actual Notch brewery.

    Cheers!

    And French Disko at Brighton. And I’ll be there this afternoon for my birthday (a much lower key affair than last year, where I ended up drinking at Notch for 6 hours).

    Thanks! And agreed on Disko.
    Had a few beers at Notch, some empanadas, sausages and waffles with friends. Then hit Super Bien for some wine. Fun time on a crappy weather day. Notch is also decked out for Xmas, hopefully they get a tree like last last year too!
