Someone will have to chime in on gbot and hag as it has currently slipped my mind.

 

GBot is Simcoe and Colombus. I don't know what the Hag has under the hood.

 

Co-Sign this, with the one exception of I prefered FT2 to GBot. (Crazy to say considering how much I love that dancing Robot.)

Nice, thanks! I found some info on the hops from the first iteration of the Sea Hag recipe (from NEBCO's blog in 2006) but I read that the recipe has been improved so I have no idea if this still applies:

Northern Brewer (bittering)
Cascade (mid addition)
Cascade (finishing)
Cascade and German Hallertau (dry hopping)

 

I have heard Amarillo dry hopping as of late.but not 100%

 

Hag has been incredible lately. i think the recipe has been better for about a year and it is always super fresh now. it sells out within a few days, so each week it is really fresh. I am really unsure what hops hag uses, but it definitely is not the same as that 2006 recipe.

 

I've never seen it sold out in the Hartford area, yet it definitely moves as it always pleases on the freshness front, as far as I can tell anyway. And it pleases often these days!

 

Two weeks ago, the three package stores I stopped in were out. All three were in Hartford count. Two of them cannot keep it on the shelves the last month...

 

Wow, I guess beware what you ask for. Fresh Hag is a good thing, having to hunt for it... not so much.

 

A couple places that usually carry it in Middletown are suddenly out, too.

 

Let me reprase; It doesn't require a hunt, but they have been running out. Both places i go to the most usually get sea hag on Mondays. If they run out, its not for a few days. If i want hag I just stop before Friday. I think this is a great thing.

 

Alpha Weizen is actually a pretty hoppy wheat ale.

 

Stout Trooper, Murder, and Zapatabot.

But seriously, I would expect Hag, maybe Elm City...it's rare they have less than 3 brews on tap (when they open at least).

 

Bot and 668 used to be $15 I think? Fair for the higher octane stuff but Hag was 10? It's $9.99-10.99 for a 6pk. I don't think I should pay more per ounce when I cutting out the distro and canning material costs.

 

I must of gotten it confused with some another new beer on the coming soon list. I remember him saying that there was gonna actually be one like i described.

 

Beer Geek Helles is probably what you were thinking of.

I think it's something like if they charge too little it screws over the distributors a bit. At least you know it is super fresh if you get it at the brewery. However it is probably fresh in the cans at any store with good volume and keeps them cold (cheaper too at $9-10 for 6 beers instead of $11 for 5.5 beers).

 

yess that was it

 

Locust Reign, 668, and Hag according to Facebook today.

I thought Gandhi had some Cascade too, but I might be wrong.

 

Nah, its just those two, at least according to the dudes.

Cheers, Bob. You back in town?

 

no way this is still accurate. if sea hag is all cascade and it tastes like it does currently, NEBCO = not geniuses but gods.

p.s. i prefer sea hag to supernaut, but i like coriolis and FBD better than both. gandhi bot great too. missed the equinox beer, but what can you do?

edit: gandhi as simcoe and columbus i totally believe. so good.
