Brought this to Cambridge Brewing tonight despite being a little young. It was very well recieved as those who got some were drinking it over there bought beers plus their feedback. I think in around 2 weeks it is going to shine, and I will drop a couple bottles off the brewers then.

I don't work there, but I've been a regular for years. You can't exactly just bring your stuff there, depending who is there they will pour a few sample size glasses.

I've usually found that bringing your own booze into a bar is a way to get tossed out on your ass right quick!

I imagine it was pretty quite there last night, too. They do good business on Tuesday, but the storm must have quieted things down quite a bit. Congratulations on the good reviews. What possessed you to bring it if you thought it was still young?! That's brave. You must think it's a good batch!

Surprisingly it was actually pretty busy. When I say young it's more of a clarity thing, the flavors are fine it just hasn't completely cleared yet as I didn't cold condition as usual.

I know almost everyone there so that wasn't an issue, it's not the first one I've brought in.
