Kent Falls availability

Try craft beer cellar in West Hartford.

 

No reliable sources. I have purchased bottles at Harvest in West Hartford. It is on tap around the greater Hartford area. Check beermenus with more up to date locations. I think bottles will be spotty, but with a little work you can find a draft account or two.

 

Try calling the stores listed on the website. I've gotten it at Classic Liquors on Rt 7 south of New Milford.

 

There are bottles sitting on the shelf in branford. I know that doesn't help much because it is not western CT. Just to give you an idea of availability, i bought a bottle of field beer and farmers table last week when my local store got their first shipment from kent falls, and another of each today at the same store.

 

Litchfield Wine Market is a safe bet.

 

I haven't seen it in stores. On tap a few places in Fairfield Co. The Brett I had was terrific so good luck!

 

These guys are really killing it. I think it's only a matter of time before they take off big time. I have yet to find it in my area but will keep looking. Have a buddy from New Milford who gets it for me, but I would love to be able to find it myself. Cheers!

 

I was at Manchester Wine and Liquors last night and they have a good amount of both Field Beer Saison and Farmer's Table. Ended up purchasing a Field Beer (Batch 3), which is a delicious and refreshing sour saison. Very excited to see what they do next.

 

i got some at manchester wine and liquors. haven't cracked any yet, but i had an earlier saison batch @ prime 16 and thought it was very very nice.

 

seen a bunch of Kent Falls mentions in the "Beers of 2015" thread. I've yet to try, or even look for these guys. I've gotten lucky to score SoS in central CT. Safe bet that anyone getting Lawsons is getting Kent Falls stuff? If not, any specific stores in Wallingford area?

Thanks folks!

 

There's definitely plenty around central CT. A quick look at beermenus should give you an idea for stores and bars in your area.

 

Some Kent Falls has been sent to Massachusetts from time to time. I suggest following the twitter/ insta of the distributor, Craft Collective: https://twitter.com/crftcollective

 

Yup and I have seen draft of Kent Falls at Armsby Abby as well. Maybe Lord Hobo but I am not positive as I can't remember for sure.

 

Tap takeover at Lower Depths in Boston (Comm Ave) on the 14th - sounds like a great way to get our hands on some excellent beer. Had Sweatpants at Bukowski's last week and it was beautiful.

 

Willowbrook in Cromwell gets some of the stuff. I don't shop any closer to Wallingford. Plenty in the Hartfod area though.

 

Their beer availability rotates, consisting largely of one-off batches of saisons that experiment with different malts/hops/brett. The one out there now, Anachronism, is absolutely delicious. Small % of smoked malt gives it a bit of gaminess that plays nicely with their house saison yeast. IPAs are pretty much draft only, and most of their BA goodies are sold at the New Milford Farmers' Market. Brewery is supposed to open to the public in Spring '16.

Shipping out to package stores the week of 01/06:

"Dekkera - 4% table beer fermented with our house brett strain. Dry fruits and brett character in a very easy drinking beer

2016 - 5.2% a celebration of the start to a new calendar year, each year’s release will vary slightly, this year’s batch is a tart saison dry hopped with centennial and chinook and a tiny bit of brett and oak added post fermentation to allow it to develop over the coming year."

Getting their beer hasn't always been easy since we're probably their eastern-most store, but everything they do is unique and well-done.

 

I just found shower beer at cbc in plymouth, ma. Excited to try it!

 

M&r in avon, craft beer cellar and harvest in west hartford had some as well. Can't wait for these guys to open a tap room

 

I've tried three offerings, two on tap in Bethel and one in a bottle. Anachronism from the bottle, and Alternate World Gose and Coffeemaker IPA on tap. Liked them all, but am new to the sours so I have limited benchmarks for the Anachronism and Alternate World.

 

Two of their best beers are When Life Gives You Grapefruits and Second Nature Peach. Both were available in New Milford (bottles).

 

Bryan from Craft Collective here (Kent Falls' distributor in Massacusetts). We receive a small but growing amount of beer from Kent Falls on a regular basis. Anachronism Gratzer, Dekkera Brett Table Beer, and Sweatpants Pale Ale all landed at draft accounts around town in the last few weeks. Some accounts that are a good bet to find Kent Falls pretty regularly (though not always, so check with them first) are:

Armsby Abbey
Atwood's
Branch Line
Bukowski Tavern- Cambridge & Boston
Ferry Street
Foundry on Elm
Lord Hobo
Lower Depths
Mystic Station
Publick House
Row 34
The Dive Bar
Tip Tap Room

Following us on Twitter and Insta is a great way to keep in touch with what's going on, and when in doubt- just ask us. We'll give you whatever info we can.

 

Bryan from Craft Collective here... Yes! Should be a great event. Barry from Kent Falls will be in town. The Depths set up a Facebook event here, where we can communicate any updates.

Thanks Bryan, you guys are doing great work.

 

Tried Zep on the Jukebox for the first time this weekend and WOW I was so impressed! Right up there with Treehouse and TH is my absolute fav. Can I get this in bottles? Where can I purchase some of their bottles? I'm located near Waterbury CT.

 

Generally speaking, they are not bottling their IPAs as they don't want to mix the farmhouse/wild styles with the more pure IPAs on their bottling line. That said, Coffeemaker IPA did get bottled.

 

The only way to get bottles from Kent Falls is at the New Milford Farmers Market? Do they sell out pretty quick? Was planning on taking a ride there this Saturday around noon...

 

No, the only way to get their limited release bottles is at the market (they've got a new one coming out this weekend). Plenty of stores all over the state have other kent falls bottles.

 

The IPAs are not bottled yet.

If you want some good info on Kent Falls packaging plans, check this article out. Unfortunately, you need to "subscribe" to read. I read the hard copy version at my mother-in-law's so I can tell you the highlights are what I posted above about keeping the bottling system pure and that they wanted to be canning their IPAs by now, but the can shortage and a couple other issues caused them to put that on hold.

 

Picked up some 2016 from Tony's in Haddam after grabbing a couple Steady Habit growlers. Looking forward to cracking it open. Hoping for future expansion down into SECT since Tony's is the only spot down here you can pick them up. Derek is doing some amazing things at Kent Falls. If you haven't read his blog Bear Flavored, check it out. The kid is Wicked Smaht.

On another note, there's another farm brewery preparing to open in Salem CT - Fox Farm Brewery. The brewer is a super nice guy and won a Sam Adams long shot competition a couple years ago. He'll be doing a decent amount of sours like Kent Falls. I had one recently that is in his Music Vale series and it was fantastic. Also some good info on his twitter account. The brewery will be in an old barn which is being re-designed with the help of the same architects that designed The Alchemist's new brewery (which obviously was built to look like a barn). Psyched to see the SECT brewery scene growing.

 

Looking forward to his book "The Fermented Man", which is about living off nothing but fermented food and drink for a year. He's hilarious.

 

Agreed. This one is by far my favorite.
