Kent Falls availability

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.
