Twelve Percent in NJ

I also heard from a beer buyer buddy that supply is pretty low right now only shipping one van worth of beers over from Brooklyn. Not sure of frequency

I also heard from another of my beer guys it is a trial run with some of the bigger stores and if they sell well at one location they will try and expand to the other locations. That's why the are popping up at like shop rite, bottle King, Gary's ect.. I wouldn't expect to see at lot of their stuff regularly until March. seems to be 12% dipping their toes in for now

 

It's dated on the bottom of the cans but it comes in a square package where you can't see the bottom of the can. Kinda counterproductive there. Ive had that beer fresh and its great but at 10 months its dropped off significantly.

 

I can check I think i still have the cardboard somewhere, but I dont remember seeing it.

 

The Evil Twin bottles I have are Julian dated (355:15). I swear the Citra Sunshine Slacker I bought a couple weeks ago were as well. It was roughly something like 31615 which could look like March 16th.

 

If they are using Julian dating, 31615 would be November 12, 2015. 31615 referring to March 16, 2015 would be Gregorian dating I believe.

 

Yea he's saying that 31615 would look like March 16, 2015 which would make the guy think it was 10 months old. Spellbound did this and I had no idea at the time and it's really confusing. Wish they would all just adopt a universal system and make it mandatory to date all beers and date them the same way

 

lame.. is that official at the moment?

 

not sure I haven't seen or heard of anything here yet.. I'm hoping that changes very quickly

 

Saw a bunch of bottles in NJ today. Store employee said they had just arrived earlier in the day. Mostly Stillwater and Evil Twin, but a couple of Westbrooks as well. From what I can remember:

Stillwater: Yacht, As Follows, Moneytree$, Classique, Contemporary Works - Stereo.

Evil Twin: Yin, Yang, Falco, Citra Sunshine Slacker, (two bomber sized bottles- I believe they were Even More Jesus and Imperial Biscotti Break but I could be wrong on those).

Westbrook: One Claw, Märzenbier.

 

Where at

 

Liquor Outlet in Boonton. Hope this means they'll start popping up more around the state.

 

Let's hope so I haven't seen anything yet in south jersey.

 

Never happen. Makes too much sense.

 

Great store. Somehow I haven't been there in several months.

 

The day I can buy Westbrook Gose in the store will be a great one

 

Really want to see WB Gose and Omnipollo in NJ.

 

Went back today. The two bombers I mentioned last week were Even More Jesus and Imperial Petit Four Break, not Imperial Biscotti Break.

 

you should see biscotti break either friday this week or sometime next week, pending their delivery to NJ

 

I dont get what this thread is about. Is that link of brewries now in NJ? Is that what this is about?
