    On second thought, anyone in Boston deciding to make the trek out there? I'd gladly split gas+tolls with you.

    Anyone have an update on current wait time? Trying to decide if I should head out that way

    Not a bad wait at all. I dig the silent release, it rewards all of the people who were going there anyway.

    I think dropping the growler limit to 4pp helped speed things up as well

    .

    That and I'm sure there's plenty of cards with just one Good Morning growler and nothing else.

    I would like to know also. I am guessing there is a good amount if it was a 5bbl batch, but whos knows how big the batch was. A full 5 barrels would be over 700 750ml fills. Anyone remember how long it lasted last time they did good morning?

    the new silo, with it's logo facing proudly to the street, sure is a pretty addition to the facility! New landscaping around the Koi pond as well. Very Green! :slight_smile: We all know the beer is awesome. The grounds are shaping up beautifully as well!

    With the morning's can announcement, I planned ob heading up with my wife. No need to get bottles of the announced offerings. 5:15 departure would mean getting there at 6, after the opening crush. Into the car, I checked here for any surprises. Should I bring bottles just in case? Good Morning! Aw damn! I knew that would make it crazy by the time I got there so I decided "fuggit", headed out, and just got the 12 Green. In and out in less than 5 minutes. Got to Camille's in Tolland just before 7. Nicely played as I see it

    Good Morning is a sublime beer. I just couldnt make it happen this time

    According to the march thread 13 sixtels of GD were available at the brewery, some of that batch was set aside for EBF, and "a few for other things" according to nate. And good morning lasted almost 2 full days. Lighter traffic though since that was soon after they opened the new building.

    Funny I must have been right behind you. Was #208.

    I thought it went well. He said it was 1:15 wait but was more like an hour. Sat outside, ate dinner and time flew by.

    Was anyone there at close? I need to know if I have to call out tomorrow to sit in the absurd line that is sure to form once word gets out that GM is still on for growlers.

    I was 274 of about 285 or so. Got my growler of GM no problem so I'd imagine it'll be on still tomorrow. We left at 9:15 and showed up at about 7:45. We got our cans in about 5 minutes at 7:45ish too If anyone was curious. Excited to crack GM in a few minutes and hoping it'll show up at hop jam next weekend!!!

    Holy guacamole! It was my second time at the Tree and first time doing growlers. I arrived at 4pm and was #67 in line. What a gift to have a surprise release of Good Morning on growler fill. Super smooth line to get cans, and then easy 'nuff to get growlers on fill. Hats off to @DigitalNate and Dean. This is a world-class operation, masquerading as a small-town, folksy nano-brewery.

    It was an easy trip. I got there a little after 7pm and was 212. No wait for cans. I was leaving the grounds at 8:10pm. There were no sign of it running out as mentioned above.

    Website updated about an hour ago... tonight and Saturday are going to be shitshows.

    GOOD MORNING - (Imperial Coffee Stout - 8.4%) - Brewed with Maxwell Road Maple’s darkest and most flavorful late season maple syrup, Good Morning pours pitch black in the glass with a creamy mousse-like head. The bubbles give way to genuinely intoxicating aromas of freshly roasted coffee, rich maple syrup, and milk chocolate. The flavor is decadent, melding milk chocolate, sweet maple syrup, and freshly roasted coffee with deeper complexities as it warms. The crew here at Tree House tastes “chocolate covered maple candy”, “vanilla”, “chocolate cake”, “brown sugar”, “a dark fruit bonanza”, and “fresh roasted coffee”. A super decadent treat, Good Morning begs to be shared and contemplated. We dare you to smell it and not yearn for Sunday morning. . . ! (750 ML - $12) ** 1 750 ML limit Per Person, Per Day ** ~ 1,440 750 ML fills remain.
