NEBCO growlers

Facebook is one place, but they rarely update it. Twitter is the best, but they aren't always great with that either.

 

Can always call and usually you get an answer. FB and Twitter not yet with information for this week.

 

Facebook was just updated. Sea Hag, 668 and supernaut.

 

In addition to twitter and FB, you can also look at check-ins on untappd

 

no.

 

I have a feeling they will do something similar to the last batch of FBD; a couple unannounced kegs for growler fills and the rest hitting local bars. Hopefully the 'naut lasts. It's better than FBD IMHO.

 

usually you'll never get an answer

 

Just now on FB:

EMERGENCY POST!!
We have to pull the Supernaut off-line. The kegs were put in the cooler but not soon enough. They are all pouring foam. So, instead of wasting a metric butt-load of beer (or you getting a growler of froth), it'll be on tomorrow (Thursday).
Also, some tasting room changes that'll be announced soon.
Thanks for understanding, y'all.

 

Just came from there
Yes, no Supernaught. As for changes. Growlers are now $5
(4) 3oz samples per customer limit.. And growler fills went up a couple bucks

 

None of that bothers me. Limiting free samples is great. Growler fills increase, fine. They were among the lowest priced in CT.

If they make a bit more money and that money leads to more beer, great. Maybe they can hire more staff to help out.

 

Yeah, 4 3 oz samples is still generous. The "rule" probably occurred because the insurance co is coming down on them. And it's a wise risk management move by NEBCO. Just a hunch, but "shares" are probably going by the wayside as well for the same reason. You're either a production facility that serves limited samples only, or a full-on taproom that sells pints of beer. The insurance for the two is vastly different, and you can't be in the middle.

 

No complaints with the limiting of samples as long as they are still free. I hate when I go to a brewery with the intention of filling up a growler and I have to get charged to figure out what I want. Usually I am not trying to catch a buzz but trying to decide what to spend $10-$15 on to bring home!

 

i dont like all these new rules though

 

Anyone with me in liking these new rules? I don't think I have ever had more than 3 vessels filled in the countless number of times I've been to NEBCO in the past 3 years. Anything to keep the line moving...

 

When the lines are long, I think the 3 growler limit is a good idea. Hopefully, if there are no lines on a particular day, that rule will be relaxed. Either way, none of the new rules or price increases are all that bothersome.

 

I never have that many samples and rarely get more then three bottles. The price increase bothers me a little, but I am a cheap ass.

How much did the growlers go up by?

 

dudes gotta make some money

 

I can't count the number of times I've seen people in line ahead of me with 6-10 growlers in a box or cooler. I'm very happy to see those people will be limited - doesn't bother me at all.

 

very happy about the new tasting rules.

walked in last Friday with ten people milling around the bar freeloading samples of beers they've had a million times before.

you know who you are.

 

Not sure what they were before, but current 32/64 prices below:

668: $8/16
Hag: $6/12
Naut: $6/12

 

Thanks for the info.
I think Hag and Naut were $5/10 and 668 was $8/15. Very modest price increase.

The greatest bargain ever is fuzzy baby ducks. It was $5/10

 

Doesn't CT law allow 2 gal max anyway??

 

Lot's of new rules. I don't mind the sample rule at all. They are still offering plenty of samples per customer and most of us know what their beers taste like already.

As far as the prices going up a bit, you obviously never want to spend more money, but that's just the way things work.

I'm a little disappointed about the growler limit, as I have gotten 4 or 5 vessels filled in a visit many times. When they have a loaded tap list, I won't be able to stock up on my favorites like I normally do. However, kegs will last longer now and the line will move more efficiently.

 

Love the growler limit. Shit is already a painfully slow moving line, so anything to help that move along is great. Happy to trow my dudes an extra buck or 2 per growler if it helps get more new beers into my mouth. Embrace the change, I hope there's more to come. Also, this batch of Supernaut is tits.

 

Their prices were, and still are more than fair. You're getting beer from IMO the best brewery in CT at prices less than almost all of the competition. Sign me up.


No issues with any of the new rules.

 

My friend is currently driving around looking for the brewery. I thought they moved from 175 Amity, but everything on their website/FB page still lists 175 Amity. Am I missing something? He's literally driving around in circles.

 

Its 175 Amity.... (Diagonally) Behind the Jaguar dealership (share a parking lot).

 

Does anyone know what's on tap today?...CHEERS

 

Thanks

 

Not many places around CT, MA, or RI give free samples usually charging for a specified number of oz pour. 3 free samples is still more than generous. You will NEVER please everyone. Cheers! (as I'm drinking a Seahag)

 

titi boy 2 chaiinz

 

Whats on tap today and tomorrow at NEBCO?

 

Per FB, They're closed today because they're out of beer. Back open tomorrow with gbot

 

Gandhi on friday, not tomorrow...

 

Was going today anyways.

 

Anything besides Gbot?
