Thanks for the heads up. I'll stop in next visit to my grandma.

That is great. Good for them. Sounds like the new place will be a good take once it is done.

My main hopes are pretty simple. That the capacity is enough that I can buy a case a beer every time I go and I never have to wait more than 30 minutes except for special releases.

Awesome news indeed!
And the new location in Charlton when it opens will cut the drive time from my office down from the now 55 minutes it takes me to get to Monson afterwork to 30 minutes tops! :beer:
Can't wait for the new brewery to open next Spring!
Yes, being closer to 90/84 than Monson will be nice. The only time I'm in that area is passing through to visit customers in CT or Western MA. Monson was a bit far off the beaten path to schedule a "lunch break", especially with the long lines.
I'm in San Diego for ten days for work. I'm not going to say the beer is necessarily better out here because I think the Northeast has some of the best beers in the world worthy of their beeradvocate prestige.
That said the overall beer scene here is unreal and blows away New England. It's really no comparison.
I took it easy on the first two nights. I went to Karl Strauss Thursday and Ballast Point Friday. Today I met up with a buddy from high school and he took me on the grand tour. We hit Stone, Modern Times, Societe, Green Flash and Alesmith.
All of these facilities are so impressive. 15-30 beers on tap with incredible style diversity and all CHEAP. $1.25-$2 four once tasting pours, $4.50 pints and then massive guest bottle lists. I was blown away.
And there's still 111 other breweries to try out here in San Diego county
Northeast does a good job , but San Diego is in another league. Best beer scene I've ever seen by far.

Surprising info. I do think Stone and Ballast Point are in the top 5 IPAs I've tried. BP is expensive back in New Hampshire. When I found it in Lake Tahoe I figured it would be cheaper. It is not.
It's not cheaper in cans/bottles out here, but on draught at the brewery I think it was $5 for a Sculpin. I'm surprised the price on Ballast Point hasn't dropped since being purchased by Negro Modelo.
Tonight I'm enjoying a Belching Beaver Brewery Hop Highway IPA. Pretty good.

Singlecut Beersmith's Mo' Shuggie Soulbender IPA - One of my beer loving neighbors up in VT swears by this NYC brewery! Her and her husband gave me this last weekend. It's a juicy, tropical fruit note forward more of a West Coast Style IPA than the New England Juice bomb IPA's that IMHO are the standards these days.
Overall, I'd buy a bottle or 2 if I saw it in my local bottle shop :beer:
