Looks like Double Inundation is being canned per their IG. That beer was absolutely incredible last time I had it.

 

Per an IG comments, it sounds like the cans of Group Chat are going to be distributed too, with the brewery only having it on tap a la Headway and Workhorse.

 

Anyone give me a few thoughts on Disposition?

 

Wasn’t my cup of tea. Love everything that CW puts out. This one was grapefruit overload for me.

 

Thanks. I made it down just after open to try for myself.

Getting lots of peach on the nose but definitely sense red grapefruit on taste. Moderate bitterness and quite dry. Works for my palate, especially the abv. Glad I grabbed two 4 packs.

 

Per their IG story, looks like Ein Helles is making a comeback. Thank god! Glad to see it wasn't just a one-and-done anniversary beer. Has a nice new label, too.

 

I had a chance to try CounterPunch - IPA and Dead Summer - Sour IPA. Both were tremendous. I need to get up there I live only 30 minutes away

 

Counterpunch is wonderful but Dead Summer didn't tickle my fancy. Just a lot of different things going on that didn't work together for me.

 

Yea I loved Counterpunch and I cannot find it ANYWHERE. I love sours and i've never had a sour IPA before. I thought it was good, but it was my third beer, so my tasting may have been off slightly. Anyone know if their special / limited beer sells in liquor stores? My buddy who brought them picked them up at the brewery which i'm planning on visiting maybe this weekend.

 

Brewery only. The only cans distributed are Headway and Workhorse.

 

Thanks, I thought so! I've had headway which i like, but those specialty ones were what iam looking for.

 

Got Group Chat cans in Cromwell today!

 

Creature Preacher cans tomorrow. Love this run (Pajama, Disposition, Creacher) of sub 6% hoppy beers.

 

Picked up some Group Chat cans at Kindred in Shelton. I think the other Kindred locations got it in, too.

 

Nice spelling of Creature. Sober too.
Add Space Coyote as well. Was thinking it was 6.5% earlier today, not just on the cusp.

 

Visited yesterday for my first time. Walked with cans of Creature Preacher, Dalliance and Disposition. Loved the pint of Headway I had and Pajama Party wasn't too far behind. Great taproom (awesome music) and nice folks running the show. Wish these guys the best of luck

 

I’m torn that Dalliance was still kicking. Happy that I picked up two more 4 packs yesterday but disappointed it hasn’t sold out after 3+ weeks.

Was Fest Bier mid-Sept last year?

 

More pilsners and stouts for the rest of us!

 

Group Chat cans still at Coastal in Branford.
