    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

    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.

    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)
