Trillium Brewing Company (September 2015)

Are Vicinity bottles all gone? I know what it says on the website but, IME, what's on the website and what's on the chalkboard when I get there are often two different things - usually in a good way but, still... it's a two hour drive for me. If anyone's there tonight, please report in?

 

Yep, Vicinity def all gone. We might have a keg or two w some trub from the end of a packaging run that takes a few days to settle o before it runs free of hop bits, etc. Sometimes they do, and we'll put that on a day or two after the other kegs from the batch kicks. But we don't hold back bottles

 

Gah! That was the best ever! Feed my monkey!

 

Fingers crossed for an Artaic release today...

 

Twitter/ website confirm Artaic for today

 

Called them up, Artaic is definitely on today as it was said above. Bottling as we speak.

 

Everyone should rush over there and line up so it's not busy when I go later this afternoon.

 

Better be some left at 6 or i'm going to be a sad panda.

 

Limits of four, no line at 12:30.

 

I would hope that Artaic is approximately the same batch size as the last round of vicinity, bottles of which lasted what, 4 or 5 days?

In other news, see the twitter and insta accounts for excitement-inducing pictures of the new brewhouse...

 

The financial district has been a ghost town since yesterday so I wouldn't expect as much of the lunch-time crowd showing up.

 

All draught is kicked as of 4 pm. More coming I guess.

 

All bottles, no growlers as stated above at 4 30. In and out quick though. 3 people working bottles.

 

The new brewery and the increased capacity it brings can't come soon enough. I recently moved from an office by South Station to an office at the Prudential, so getting to the brewery is no longer a piece of cake for me and I keep looking for a day when I could head over and get all 3 of my growlers filled plus a few extra bottles. I don't think there has been a day in the past 4 weeks when more than 2 beers were on for growlers, and more likely none than 2. Other than the great license fiasco of late 2014, it has never been this hard to get Trillium beers.

 

Does Trillium always have Fort Point (in some variant form) Pale Ale available? Love that stuff.

 

Coming in to Boston between 6:00 and 7:00 pm tomorrow night, any idea whether I should expect Artaic bottles to be gone by then?

 

No, not always.

 

Unfortunately, I am not sure I would count on it. The sooner, the better. They killed 50% of their bottles by 5-5:30pm. You may or may not be lucky tomorrow.

 

no growlers as of 6:30 pm…I swear I saw someone leaving in front of me that had growlers, but maybe I was wrong

 

They could have been empty growlers. I did see a message that growlers kicked sooner than they had hit 50% on bottles. I think they also stated that they had a batch, but there was a lot of particulate still floating around, that they may have a small batch on for growlers tomorrow.
