Post by: albsvx on January 20, 2008, 03:46:37 AM: well, knock it off...

I'm drinking some pretty heavy duty, high octane beer myself.

Anybody here go to WilliBrew - AKA Willimantic Brewing Company - AKA Main Street Cafe (in Willimantic) - AKA "The post office" ??

Great stuff!

Are y'all familiar with the term "growlers"

Mmmmmmmmmm

I'm drinking some sort of >10% imperial porter

Post by: mallcrawl on January 20, 2008, 03:44:33 PM: do they make a Scotch style red? I realy miss the "Dammed Red Scotch Ale" from this little brewery over on the other coast. it was about 12% if I remember right though after all the not drinking I've done in the last couple years I'd prolly need to nurse one for a long time

Post by: Kral4me on January 22, 2008, 10:49:00 PM: Ok, so obviously to me, I soooooo can't drink beer...but man I miss microbreweries. Is that place kinda like one?
Title: Re: what the heck?
Post by: albsvx on January 22, 2008, 10:52:12 PM: I've honestly never taken their tour.

They don't bottle/keg and/or distribute, so, it's probably not all that much like a microbrewery.

Everything they brew is sold right there are the restaurant/bar.

Post by: albsvx on January 22, 2008, 11:22:00 PM: I like to do my "beer tour" while sitting in the bar, eating food, and sampling all of their find beers.

Post by: HOT-ROD on January 22, 2008, 11:40:02 PM: now your talking my language. i was wondering who was going to pick up on it. thanks Al...
Title: Re: what the heck?
Post by: albsvx on January 22, 2008, 11:42:17 PM: I actually just talked to them about this, because ctjeep was looking for a place for this month's m&g, but it's kind of annoying, you have to pay per-person for either a sit-down entree, or for a buffet style spread ... can't just reserve the room to hang out and drink. :(

Not sure if it would be any different if/when we get official non-profit status.
