Funny. I actully signed on here to start a thread for the same reason. Seems like it has been a LONG time.
At the CT brewer's fest, I said "I am not going to ask you when the new taproom is open" and then was given a general idea of when it may be open. This would cover it.
Every time the RI/NY/MA distribution question comes up they say not for at least a year. They want to see how well they can keep up in CT with their expanded capacity before branching out. I have a feeling if any other state would get some it would be NY first.
Actually, after checking with a friend, they said they were shooting for the 11th. Keep in mind we asked them after many, many 3 oz pours.
