I first found out about Firefly Hollow Brewing from my friend, Jeremy White. Jeremy has mad a few short films for them which we just love, and after watching them a few times over, it just left us yearning to take a trip out to Connecticut, but we just needed a little more motivation to take the two hour drive from Jersey. That motivation came about a week ago when I received word that our designer here at IDGB, Sara Guyre, had won their design contest for an up coming beer they plan to can called, Cone Flakes. Without hesitation, I jumped out of bed, and rendezvoused with Jared and Sara so we could take a nice Sunday trip out to Firefly Hollow. Continue reading “FIREFLY HOLLOW BREWING”

As you saw from a recent post, we were out at Long Ireland Beer Company canning up Port Jefferson’s, Party Boat IPA. Aside from grabbing some canning content, I couldn’t but to grab some photos and tell you about Long Ireland as well. Continue reading “LONG IRELAND BEER COMPANY”
