Twin Elephant Brewing to open

Hmm I think the last LSY release was August? I remember getting there around 11:45 on Saturday and there being like 25? ppl in line already (reading through the thread I was probably like next to Bryant) . I probably stayed at the brewery for like 45 mins and there were still cans avail if I remember correctly. I also remember the people strolling in at like 12:15 - no line - were still able to get 'em.

Wonder if there will be more or less people due to black Friday. I'm of the same mind as Dennis though; not a big line guy (even though the wife will be out of town and she'll never knowwwwwwwww).

 

I think with two beers and the chance to get 2 4pks total as opposed to 1 4pk will encourage more people to line up. I doubt they'll make it to 1:30.

 

Is there a line yet?

I think Im going to sit this one out,. Not enough room in the fridge for more beer

 

It's a shitshow right now

 

i low key hope they can find an empty large fermenter at another jersey brewery where they can brew a big batch of LSY.

IDK how conclave does it, i think they're on a 3.5bbl system? they seemed to have a pretty good yield of their last 2 cans.

 

instagram says LSY cans are gone.

 

No idea. I pulled up. The lot was gridlocked and I saw at least 100 people in line so I just went home.

I'll go back Thursday and get yours and growlers.

 

Had to go out of town today. Sound like hit or miss.

Gonna hit up tomorrow though for sure. Interested in the Fall IPA

 

No Growler sales? Damn I was planning on getting one later this evening

 

Hmm... instagram story post of blank label design.... same labels that someone linked to a while back regarding label registration for beers like Wepeel, etc...

Interesting.. wonder when / what they can next... assuming they will use those blanks and just put a sticker in the middle of the circle with the beer name. Kinda like Troon with generic can design and sticker with the beer info.

they did register labels for:

• Crooked Spoke Adjacent
• New Found Friends
• Rugged Snuggle
• Slow Flows Remarkable
• True Believers
• Vigilante Tantrum
• Wepeel

generally speaking you don't need to register labels for those one off sticker cans (Troon/Kane at least haven't IIRC). So i am interested to see what they do..

 

Nice tap list this weekend. All Mouth with Earl Grey, LOL. Excited to see another Brown on there. I thought MASH Berries was very solid as well, if anyone hasn't tried it yet.

 

I stopped in after work yesterday and was blown away by New Found Friends. It struck me as cross between a Brown Ale and a southern-style malty IPA. It opens with lots of sweet malt and caramel and then the Citra and Centennial hops kick in; they're flavorful but not bitter. The mouth feel is almost chewy. It's a really unique beer and in my opinion it's the best beer TE has brewed (yes, including Lil' Shimmy Ye). The MASH Berries is really good, as well. I was concerned that the cranberry would overwhelm but it doesn't; its tart and blends nicely with traditional Saison flavors. TE has really stepped up its game!

 

stopped in last night and tried 4 beers... agree new found friends was very good (very different from last year). Dark, yet made in a hazy style. Very roasty ( get a touch of coffee), rich mouthfeel, but with that pine resiny hop hit on the end. I find it a touch sweet.

It's all Love Tho was a nice crusher... bready, very subtle and delicate hops, very easy drinking and refreshing.

Agree the Mashberries was also really well done, not too much fruit and not too much funk, great balance.

Also had the Mighty Winooski. Also very different from the last year batch (color on my untapped check-in was hazy pale yellow last time, this was clear light copper this time). Citusy, light and refreshing bitterness.
