Foam Brewers

I’m not sweating getting cans because I’m perfectly fine with growler fills. Having said that, I was completely surprised to see cams of Noise Ordinance still available yesterday when I went there around 2:00 (it’s all about those big ipa’s I guess).

I was quite pleased getting a 4pk of that and a growler of Galaxie 500, possibly my favorite from Foam.

 

Any recent data points on how long cans have been lasting?

 

Answering my own question after monitoring for the last week. The small midweek Experimental Jet Set release made it to the next day and the big (100 cases) Built to Spill release yesterday had a lot leftover for Saturday. Sign of things slowing down for the winter I suppose and people getting used to the regular release schedule.

We stopped in yesterday afternoon and were thrilled to get not only cans, but growler fills of 5 other IPAs/DIPAs. And don't sleep in Let the Funk Flow - another outstanding sour.

Also had a good chat with Bob while he was busily brewing away on something with loads of Vic Secret. Sounds like the imperial stout that was going into Heaven Hill barrels earlier in the week is a sign of more things to come.

 

Heading up from Philly on Friday and should be to Burlington mid-afternoon. What are the chances Built to Spill will last until later in the day? I saw it's a bigger yield around 100 cases.

Thanks for any insight!

 

Tough to say. They had been lasting until later in the day, but it is a Holiday weekend. Additionally, there are a ton of people up skiing this week and the cold weather may drive some of them to Burlington to do other stuff.

 

Gotcha, thanks for the reply. I should be to Burlington by 2pm so I guess we'll see. Worst case, I get to drink a bunch of stuff on tap.

 

Let us know, please. Your experience said provide the board some valuable info.

 

I arrived around 1:45 and was able to get in-and-out with cans pretty quickly. Looks like they had about 15 cases left at 2pm

 

I really enjoyed my time at the taproom on Thursday evening. They brew great beers and are very friendly. I was able to take two growlers back to Jersey and quickly picked up some cans Friday morning in the snow. Cheers! Keep up the good work.

 

When is the best time to go on a Saturday? Do I have to worry about releases selling out?

 

Saturday will be hard to guess since they are releasing a new can and a dot. The HoF dots are still underrated, so I wouldn't be surprised if they hang behind the bar well into afternoon. This has been the case for past releases. The cans will be anyone's guess. But I'd say if you line up before opening, then you'll guarantee yourself everything (cans and bottles).

 

Plenty of cans avail last Fri for Youth Lagoon and Jet Set. I was surprised how late in the day you could grab them. Good for me as these are two I haven't had yet!

 

Ughhh

I really can't wait for my next visit to VT. I have yet to try anything from Foam

 

In Burlington tomorrow. Kinda bummed they had to push back the release. Hoping to try some good stuff in draft though .

 

Shouldn’t be an issue

 

Made a trip to Burlington this past weekend and Foam was definitely the highlight. I went both days I was there and the atmosphere was awesome. Had several beers on tap with Eraserhead DIPA being my favorite. Straight pineapple juice with some hints of coconut and a velvet mouthfeel. Also brought cans of ...Like Clockwork back. They also had a guest brew from House of Fermentology called House Dot #5 which was phenomenal.

 

The dots are all great. Im sitting on a bunch of Dot Dot Dot's. Perfectly willing to trade them and nobody ever wants. Crazy.

 

Does Foam do Tuesday/Wednesday can runs?

Headed to VT tomorrow and don't want to miss any!

 

Yes. They have a can release tonight at 6 PM.

...Like Clockwork
Double IPA (8.2%)
20 cases*

*Limited to 3x 4-packs per person of each beer. These limits are subject to change to meet demand. $18 per 4-pack (tax & deposit included).

 

Thank you for the reply.

Do cans typically carry over to the next day? If they do, can I only buy them at 6pm like today's release?
