Hey everyone, I'm headed to the Hartford area this weekend to visit my grandparents (they live in Vernon, which is NW of Hartford). I'm not really looking to go into Hartford due to fact that the car will be filled with others who aren't as into beer as I am, but if something is on the way, I would love to get my hands on some NEBCO. I'm planning on stopping at Julio's in Westboro on my way back to Cambridge, but sadly NEBCO has pulled out of MA. Thanks in advance.
Check out this place http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/6588/?view=beerfly&ba=socon67 I can usually get some decent stuff from NEBCO there and some other stuff that doesn't make it to NY. If you call ahead and speak to Jimmy, you can get an idea if they have something specific.
Try this place too. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22314/?view=beerfly Don't let the size fool you.
I agree with the posters above. I'm a devote of Manchester Wine and Liquors in Manchester, but while Harvest in West Hartford is small, they pack a mighty punch when it comes to selection and quality. You'll score must-haves like Relic Brewing's offerings and others that you will not see elsewhere at Harvest. Unfortunately, neither is on your way as you indicated though Manchester is closer to Vernon.
