Message Leighton P beers 33712 º places 1204 º 14:52 Sun 11/20/2016 Hey guys. Anyone planning on going to The Referend opening on 3 December? It looks like I’ll be there. http://www.thereferend.com/home/
Message jredmond beers 10321 º places 301 º 22:16 Sun 11/20/2016 Thanks for the heads up on this. I hadnt heard anything about them. Looks like it’s a 15 min drive from the Trenton - NJ transit stop, but theres a chance I may already by back in Philadelphia this weekend. Will let you know if I end up going.
Message beastiefan2k P beers 5012 º places 294 º 07:26 Mon 11/21/2016 Reading about them for the first time. Is this going to be a shit show with a bunch of people?

I doubt it will be crazy busy for their first open day. I’m not sure they have enough of a reputation to attract huge crowds at this point, and on top of that there are no bottles getting released - just draft beer. More info from their Facebook page:

Message puzzl beers 3258 º places 138 º 08:46 Mon 11/21/2016 Hold on let me read this brewery’s abstract.
Message puzzl beers 3258 º places 138 º 09:57 Mon 11/21/2016 OK, I’ve read their abstract, thesis statement, exposé, restrospective, and 5 paragraph essay. Looks interesting. Are they starting with all new oak? Maybe their beer will be like Jolly Pumpkin when they were brand new, before their funk had fully developed, that was an amazing time. I’ll consider my options for getting down there.
Message jtclockwork beers 21132 º places 554 º 10:52 Mon 11/21/2016 I’ve heard their beers are awesome from a few people who’ve had them. It will probably be insane. Almost all brewery openings in NJ are insane now. I’m going to try to go.

Message beastiefan2k P beers 5012 º places 294 º 12:48 Mon 11/21/2016 That FB post scares me. Only one Lambic and concerns over beer running out. Plus, what is a "mature" Berliner Weisse? Tell us how it is, I’ll try to visit at a less busy time.

Anywhere I can definitely find it?
