Isn't everything in Fairfield County overpriced? :)

Curious, how much are beers there? I remember being in New Orleans in a divey bar in the French Quarter and ordering 2 Abita Turbo Dogs. Pretty much the only good beer they had there. The bartender says, "That'll be $4.00." I say, "I had two." She says, "Yeah, that's for both of them." I turn to my wife and say, "We're not in Boston any more."
 
World of Beer is looking to open one in Boston also. They were looking in the Fenway area but there's a Yard House there and I don't think they think both could survive near each other. I bet they go to the Back Bay.

I haven't been to Bev Max, but Half Time in Poughkeepsie is pretty amazing.

They've had one open a few years here in Fort Myers, I like WOB a lot. There's a good balance of sports on tv, a good selection of beer and occasional live entertainment. They've only recently started offe4ing food from a pretty limited yet purposeful menu. It will probably be one of your favorite spots during the warmer months.
 
I've been to the one in Stamford a few times and the place is awesome (where were joints like this when I was in my 20's?). Their beer prices are high when compared to a warehouse liquor store but are in line with most bars (and less than a few high end places).
 
World of Beer is an interesting story.

A couple of guys growing up in the Florida panhandle move to Tampa and come up with the idea of a world class beer joint. Started off with one store and evolved in to first restaurant.
Some bigwigs with one of the national restaurant chains liked their idea and bankrolled the franchising.
They try to stay true to local areas by offering local beers while leveraging their national network of distributors.
People who knew them as they grew up said they were good kids. Hopefully they are still doing things right.
 
Been told by a beer distributor to avoid these type of places (not World of Beer in general) because they usually end up serving old beer because the turnover rates arent' great with all the beer options. Said its very difficult for these types of establishments to provide fresh beer when serving/offering so many beer options on tap. A keg only stays fresh for about 40-60 days if you offer 50 beers on tap a majority are most likely not going to be drank in that time frame especially with the other beers available by the bottle.

I'd rather go to a place I know I'll be getting a crisp, fresh pint of beer.

My local pub had a slew of the Bourbon County beers on tap this week. I had the barley wine yesterday and it was so rich I struggled to order the bourbon county stout.

Here's what they had from Goose Island (they usually have 40 rare beers on tap): BC Stout, BC Barleywine, BC Cherry Rye, BC Coffee, Muddy, several of the Vintage Ales.
 
Prime 16 has Dogfishhead's Raison D'extra (18% abv raisin-brewed belgian strong dark ale) on tap right now. Not available for happy hour, unsurprisingly.

For my buddy's bday, three of us finally made it down to Shebeen Brewing in Wolott yesterday. Almost drove right by with all the fog....Did the six beer sampler. Their Turbo IPA was excellent as was the Concord Grape Saison. I even made it through the Cannoli dessert beer with powdered sugar and chocolate on top. Cool place.

Hit up Firefly Hollow in Bristol on the way home - they are getting to know me well at this place. Ordered up another sampler and had some pizza from Vivaldi's delivered to us. Nothing really new for me here except for the Wisp Single Hopped APA - very nice. Brought home a squeeler of their Double IPA.

Funny that the only other beer on their current list that is not available for happy hour pricing is their lowest ABV beer, Crooked Stave Table Beer, a wild ale that is 3.60%.
 
Crazy Bruce's in Elmwood has Sixpoint's Resin double IPA on the shelves for all you hopheads. Picked up a my first 6-pack on Saturday and its' very good as billed.

"Hopheads"....I like that.

Ten years ago, I would have called anything resembling an IPA "bitter". Now, they are my favorite type of brew. Not sure how I got from there to here. But I'm glad to be here.

They will also have Lawson's Sip of Sunshine on tap starting on Friday

Had Lawson's Sip of Sunshine at Two Roads in Stratford the other week before it kicked (in under 3 hours). goshdarn that was a delicious IPA. I think Two Roads will be mass producing it soon.

Sip of Sunshine is a great beer, and it is tremendous news for CT that they are finally selling it here. The initial plan is for Sean Lawson to come to Two Roads once a month to brew it, and it will be put in cans and kegs and sold in VT and CT. Also look for Lawson's Super Session #2 on tap throughout the state. It is brewed with Amarillo hops and very citrusy--maybe even more so than Sip of Sunshine. Not surprisingly, it's also excellent. I had it at Eli Cannon's two weeks ago and at Prime 16 last week, and it is still on at Mikro now.

"Hopheads" was a term for heroin addicts. I think it has been out of use long enough for modern beer drinkers to adopt it.

I recently tried Maine Beer Co. A Tiny Beautiful Something. It was the most delicate and refined beer I've ever tasted.

Hope NEBCO doesn't knuckle under to India on the Gandhi-bot thing.

So spoiled with great beer now, I turn my nose up at beers that would have had me salivating a decade ago.

I am hearing that this apology comes with the canceling of the Allah-palooza Time Bomb Ale for the spring.

I haven't had a beer from Maine Beer Co that I haven't loved. Zoe might be my favorite beer right now. Hoppy, but with a complex flavor.
 
Sorry if this was already posted! !
