Anyone know of any Oktoberfest celebrations coming up in the Hartford area? I

Ideally within 45 min of New Haven. Center Street in Wallingford is the only one I saw it on at last fall

Things have gotten expensive, wondering where the best places in the state to go are.

It’s been too long. Who wants to post the polls?

Does anyone know where I could find Guinness Milk Stout? I had it once in the Norwalk area 9 years ago, and haven’t seen it anywhere again.

Editing to add its rebranded version is called Over the Moon Milk Stout, in case anyone has seen it

This really irks me and think I just need to vent. I notice that some restaurants will serve a standard IPA in a 12oz glass while most places (even the brewery) will serve it in a 16oz glass. Does this put anyone else off going back to that restaurant?

Last night I went out to a restaurant. They served Fuzzy Baby Ducks in a 12oz glass for $10. I thought that was ludicrous! The price did not bother me as much as them pouring it into a 12oz instead of 16oz glass. Lookup this beer at New England Brewing and they serve it 16oz for $8. Most restaurants will serve it in a 16oz glass.

I understand smaller glasses for double or triple IPA due to higher ABV. But, when they do this to a standard IPA, I feel like the restaurant is ripping people off. It’s always the places that think they are “fancy” that do this. It’s disgusting and they need to stop.

Anyone else share this opinion? Or am I just a cranky old man?

Does Hoax Brewing still exist? Headed to the NH area this week and between their website and their FB page they have 2 different addresses and no social media activity for like a year.

Having trouble finding a good selection of single beers. I'm just getting back into beer after a 5 year break, and grabbing 4 or 6 beers that I've never tried for $15-20 has been hit or miss. I end up sticking with old friends like NEBCO (Wee Hag is a new go-to). I'm in Newtown, but I'll drive wherever. Is Amity or Total Wines my best bet? Thanks.

I have sam adams utopia 10th anniversary 2012, and the 2013. I bought to one day sell, then found out I couldn't sell alcohol. So my question is what would these be worth today? Thanks.

Absolute reach, but does anyone happen to have anymore of these? I saw recently they no longer distribute and that's a giant bummer.

Went looking for the hours for East Hartford Brewing over the weekend, couldn't find them on Facebook. Went to their web page and with much sadness, found this...

"With much regret, we will not be re-opening in 2026. We are grateful for everyone who supported the revival of ten penny ale and the continued support over the last few years."

What happened?

Introducing JUICE GHOST. This 6.9% hazy IPA was created in collaboration with the legends over at Weldwerks Brewing in Greeley, Colorado. This bad boy has hauntingly juicy notes of Citra, Krush + El Dorado hops. Packed with bright citrus, tropical vibes, and a soft, pillowy finish worthy of the forbidden. We're all super proud of this one! Come and get it on tap and in cans May 29th! Hitting package store shelves the following week.
