Steady Habit Brewing

Hey all,

We are closed this Friday and Saturday July 3-4. It's something I had planned for awhile now for the reason of buying more fermentation time so that I can improve the quality of our beer. Because we are closed this weekend I thought it would be a good idea to send some logs out. I especially wanted to hit some bars that we haven't been on tap yet. While I struggle to try to get beer out to bars, I am going to try and do something new where I send at least 1 log out every week once we are back open. Hopefully we can at least get some beer out to you guys. Anyways, here's the bar breakdown for who will have our beer.

Mikro - Hamden - tapping tomorrow evening (not sure what exact time) - Galaxy IPA

Prime 16 - Orange - tapping Thursday at 4pm - Galaxy IPA

J.Timothys - Plainville - TBA - Galaxy IPA

Birch Hill Tavern - Glastonbury - TBA - Galaxy IPA

Eli Cannons - Middletown - TBA - Hoppy Blonde

Camille's - Tolland - TBA - Hoppy Blonde

Hopefully you can get to one of these spots and thanks for the continued support!

 

@ellis860 hey thanks for coming by! The fills should last a couple more weeks. We have had them last up to a month but I wouldn't suggest anything beyond that as the beer profile may change. If you let it sit for a couple weeks what I'd do like 20 minutes before you drink it is shake the bottle lightly and then let it sit on the counter for like 10 minutes and let it settle otherwise what's going to happen is your first pour is going to be crystal clear and the following pours will get murkier. Shake it up a little and even it out. Cheers!

 

@OntheLambic nice to meet you man, your brother is a great guy, definitely save me some homebrew!

 

Hope the hoppy blonde hits Eli's next weekend; I'll be near Middletown that weekend.

Speaking of which, what's on for fills next week? Hoping to stock up.

 

In answer to my own question, it's He Died With His Boots on, hoppy blonde, and the session rye.

Also, the session rye is perfect. Regretting not getting 64oz

 

Party foul! How could you not get a full growler of a session beer??

 

What's the limit for growler fills? Contemplating a visit tomorrow.

 

I haven't seen posted limits there. I bought 2 64 oz and 3 750s a few months back. Good question though. The Method is an amazing beer if you haven't already had it, highly recommended!! Jon is the man and a good dude.

 

the most i've bought was 4, but they were 4 different beers.

still kicking myself for not getting 64oz of the rye. hoppy blonde (AKA liquid marijuana), the session rye, and our daily bread and i'm good for the summer / year.

edit: method awesome too, deserves all the praise. our daily bread though, just nails what i want in an IPA.

 

not this week, have lots to do in the city. hope to make it down again soon. also hope to have a bottle share there sometime, but my life is inexplicably hectic.

 

Went down this afternoon, got a fill of Method. As @Pahn mentioned, the Rye is a must. I only had one growler and am a sucker for Mosaic; would have brought 64oz of Rye home too.

 

so my best friend just had a baby this morning. this means i'm going to be headed to boston tonight/tomorrow.

i'm not-quite-ashamed that an early thought i had was (since i'm stopping in CT b/w NYC and boston), "this gives me an excuse to send my father out to grab some coalesce!" (and method, and our daily bread, and session rye)

so if you see a short, skinny gruff old man with 4 empty steady habit growlers, it's probably my father.

 

Thinking about heading down today. How long of a wait should i expect? I've only been once before, but that was back in January or February and the line was pretty slow.

 

Filling issues have been remedied. I usually get there right at opening (10AM) and it's either just me or 2-3 other people max. If you go an hour later, you should be able to walk right in and out. Very solid lineup today, about to head that way myself.

 

Awesome. Thanks. What's their growler policy? Will they fill 64oz or 32oz, or only the swing top small ones?

 

They fill any size and style (maybe the HF/RR style excluded, not sure). I bring my obnoxious 64oz insulated growler with no issues.
