    I want to see Ceno come back. As much as I like Slumbering Behemoth I thought Ceno was better

    Yeah, I'm a bit surprised something else hasn't snuck in. I just checked and here's the rundown:
    This week: Belmageddon (new DIPA)
    Last week: No Hope for the Kids (IPA) & Vulture Culture (DIPA)
    2 Weeks: Cities and Years (IPA) & Sow (Pale Ale) and it had Space Coyote and Void Oatmeal Stout leftover from the previous week. So 3 weeks ago was the last non-IPA drop (Void).

    However, CW is teasing a Rauchbier and Czech Pilsner release on their Insta story, so perhaps your prayers are being answered. Looks like Matt's Germany trip was quite fruitful.

    Gotta give the hop hungry people what they want. If you're CW and your hoppy beers barely last a week, versus a (spectacular) lager like Ein Helles that might sit for a month or even more. I get very excited when I see a new CW Lager, but you cant blame them for cranking out the hops. They keep the lights on.

    Absolutely. I feel like I'm the only one in my friend group that actually gets excited for Ein Helles. It's so good and reminds me of my trip to Munich. But with that being said the hoppy stuff keeps me coming back for more.

    Completely agree. Loved Ceno. And the Maple version of it was killer!!!

    Counterpunch cans return on Friday as well as a new Czech Pilsner, Vltava. Nice little can drop there.

    So I have a half answer for you: I just picked up 2/6 cans from Coastal in Branford. So either now or very soon.

    Wizard Fight (Mosaic DIPA) in cans today at the brewery. Anyone have the Vltava Pils?

    Hopefully soon; I posted in the trade forum for some cans. Probably the only active listing seeking out a Pilsner!

    Vltava may be the best pils that they have done. Close with Dalliance for my favorite clear beer from CW.

    There are so many good ones to choose from. I think Dalliance was my favorite though.

    Watched (and contributed to) the lone shelf of Vltava getting cleared out of the cooler yesterday around 1 PM. Had some friends from Brooklyn up to the country and they couldn't say enough nice things about New Haven and CW.

    Good lineup for tonight and Friday: Inundation IPA, Drudenhaus rauchbier, Void coffee stout, and Friday will have Superfluous. I'm thinking another run up is in the works for me tomorrow.

    Really want to try the rauchbier. Not too many of those going around. I had the one from Fox Farm and it was delicious.

    Driving back from NYC Saturday afternoon I grabbed some Inundation. Have had a few of my cans thus far and NOT disappointed. Drinking so well...
