Troon Brewing

Troon Brewing Burgeoning brewery in Hopewell, NJ.

10/27/2017

Hey guys, we haven't used our Facebook in months but I still get tons of messages on here so I think it's time to make a momentary return from retirement to copy and paste the following info from our website:

IF YOU ARE VISITING OUR BREWERY FOR THE FIRST TIME PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW:

We do not sell any beer for on-site consumption under our own roof. We strictly serve beer to go in 32oz cans. If we sell out of cans we are unable to open so we must caution you to check the hours listed here (Read: www.troonbrewing.com) under the "Cans" tab and MOST RELIABLY on our Instagram before taking the trip if you only want to purchase cans. (You do not need an account to view Instagram posts)

For full pours and samples of our beer please visit Brick Farm Tavern, our only draught account, located right next to the brewery at the front of the property. We try to ensure that even when we no longer have a beer available to go that it will still be on tap for you to try at the Tavern. Their hours are Wednesday- Sunday, 11:30am-10:00pm.

Cheers- Alex

A new beer will be available for growler fills today in recognition of the beautiful weather that's projected for this weekend.

Sweating Through Your Coconut Bra, 8.8%- An imperial milk stout conditioned on massive amounts of organic coconut that we toasted over at Brick Farm Market.

For those of you who have coconut or lactose allergies we also still have some Obligate Scavenger and Patriarchy for fills but Buried Without Your Funny Bone and Migratory Tentshow are only available at the Tavern since there are two sixtels of each remaining. You guys annihilated us the last two weeks, thanks for that! Never fear though, there are lots of new beers projected for the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

I feel sh*tty giving such short notice but we will be CLOSED tonight due to delays around the brewery caused by the snowstorm yesterday.

However, we will be making it up to you by releasing a whole bunch of new stuff tomorrow and staying open for an extended period of time, all the way until 8pm! So here's what's up for Saturday:

A few months ago I reached out to one of my favorite artists, Sin-eater, and tasked him with coming up with a drawing that would celebrate one of the most ubiquitous but underappreciated birds in NJ, and around the world. That bird is the almighty vulture.

The only obligate scavenger vertebrate currently existing and possibly to have ever existed, the vulture plays an integral role in the disposal of carrion that would otherwise fester and promote the spread of disease.

One of the most conscious and reverent practices involving vultures is the sky burial, a form of ritual excarnation primarily employed by Tibetans and Zoroastrians. Though the black and turkey vultures both thrive in our corner of the United States, vulture populations are experiencing precipitous decline worldwide. In India alone there are nine vulture species that are facing extinction due to inadvertent poisoning by humans, making traditional Parsi sky burials impossible.

There's not much our humble little brewery can do in the way of reversing that trend, so instead we hope that the next time you see a wake of vultures pecking at roadkill while you drive by, or circling overhead as you lose your way in the desert and slowly dehydrate with no prospect of finding a way to safety, you will appreciate the ultra-specialized evolution/ utility, and the stark beauty of one of our favorite birds.

In the meantime you can remember the ways of the past by grabbing some of the following merch, or simply changing your will to include a Tower of Silence so that, in a last act of selflessness, you make a donation to the skies.

Buried Without Your Funny Bone, 6.3%- The most hops we’ve ever forced into a beer. What else is there to say?

Hushed murmurs increase to an echoing din as your body is paraded down the aisle and placed on a granite altar. Incense billows upwards towards the vaulted ceilings. The spectral presence of the smoke is so overt a metaphor that you begin to laugh, but just as soon as you start you become aware of the peculiar feeling of your embalmed stomach hanging weightless in your gut, and the feeling subsides as quickly as it arrived.

Family, friends and acquaintances trudge forward to gaze over your waxy skin for the last time. Their faces communicate how poorly your makeup was done. The suit isn’t even yours. Your childhood friend slips in their brand-new dress shoes, purchased for the occasion and with virgin soles, and faceplants into your lap. The collective puckering of as****es is practically audible and your friend’s face blooms with the choicest shade of maroon, but even then, your body won’t cooperate and not even a snort escapes your pallid cheeks.

Your skeletal digits trace up and down in search of the problem. Perhaps the mortician pinned your lips in too severe an expression, but this is not the case. Your eyebrows seem neutral, even bemused. All your ribs are accounted for; your spine is rigid but well-postured.

But what’s that? A flaccid spot in your elbow that you’d never taken note of previously. A tiny circle of springy flesh no different in appearance to your other arm, but noticeably lacking any resistance to the touch. You freeze as the dawning realization sweeps over you.

You are going to be buried without your funny bone.

Hi Facebook! This weekend I've got two new beers for your drinking pleasure:

Migratory Tentshow- 8.8%- A strong hoppy beer.

Sweating Through Your Clown Paint- 10.3%- An Imperial Sweet Stout brewed with brown sugar. The keg that I am filling growlers from was further conditioned on a bunch of cold-brewed coffee.

I also received a new shipment of 32oz growlers which are $4.

Smell ya later!

“Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock…” Your hands effortlessly float across the cash register, keys tapping, PLU’S being entered through sheer muscle memory. Your passive smile invites idle conversation and the caffeine-induced twitch in your eyelid feigns interest in lieu of a verbal response.

“Where the treetops glisten…” You’re going to need to ask Jeff for a cigarette because you slept in and couldn’t justify stopping into that super convenient Wawa that’s right on the way to work and getting docked points for tardiness again, plus he has Marlboro Lights and your New Year’s Resolution is to quit cold turkey, like the sandwiches you make the week after Thanksgiving when you’ve given up on cleaning dishes, so it’s the next best thing really and also New Years is over a week away and your resolve will only build in the meantime.

“…and hurry down my chimney tonight.” F**k, is that Tammy? Maybe I can take a quick bathroom brea- Woah what are you doing back in town!? Oh, that’s really nice I’m sure your parents are thrilled to have you back in the house. Haha! I think they call that regression. Yeah, I mean this is just a side thing until I pursue my real dreams. You know I hear that a lot but ferrets are a pretty lucrative business and seriously once you get used to changing their bedding they really don’t smell that much at all. Nope that’s not just a sales pitch, haha! You should come over and see for yourself maybe? Oh, no, I totally get it, family obligations and all, next time for sure. So that’ll be $59.35.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year.”

"Working Retail During the Holidays" is on tap tomorrow at the Brick Farm Tavern and available for growler fills right here at Troon from Noon- 8pm. A DIPA clocking in at a respectable 10.1% and meant for anyone who has endured the holidays with a smile on their face and a trail of happy customers in their wake. Cheers to all of you unappreciated and overworked people, this one is for you!

I want to extend a HUGE and heartfelt thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to come visit yesterday. I have a hell of a lot left to learn, and an endless list of things that I'd like to improve, but getting to meet all of you and share my beer makes those pursuits totally worthwhile.

As for the rest of the weekend and moving forward, there are only a dozen Troon growlers left so I will unfortunately have to start asking that folks provide their own growler until I can order more. There are about 30 glasses left for those who didn't have a chance to grab one. Neither the growler nor the glass design is likely to be put back in rotation anytime soon so be gentle with 'em butter fingers!

Facebook! Hi! This is going to be a particularly long post so for anyone looking for a shortcut just absorb the following:
Grand Opening this Saturday- Pig roast and lots of beer at the Brick Farm Tavern starting at noon- Two new hoppy beers that I think you will enjoy a lot- 11am, 1pm, 3pm tours of the brewery- Use valet parking please. OK on to the real info:

Facebook! Hi (again)! This Saturday is the Grand Opening here at my humble brewery and I would be delighted if you could attend. It's short notice but I know you didn't have anything planned anyway.
Here are the technical details so that everything can run smoothly and we can all have an amazing time:
PARKING- The driveway here is gravel and there are no demarcations for parking spots so trust me that there needs to be valet parking to maximize the little amount of space that we have. It's complimentary and I guarantee they won't burn out your clutch/ eat the breath mints in your cup holder.
TOURS- There are three "official" tours at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm but consider this day an open house where you can visit the brewery at any time that suits you. It may not contain the wild gesticulation and flapping jowl action that an actual tour stewarded by yours truly would, but at least you can see the barn and where the beer is made. To actually taste the beer though...
BEER- Growler fills will be available from the brewery until 8pm but all tastings and full pours will be held in the Tavern *exclusively*. If you want to know how a beer is going to taste before you get a fill please head there to do so. I think I'm probably the only brewery in the state without a tasting room but local zoning concessions are difficult to combat after the fact, plus the Tavern is a way nicer space than I could ever pull off and there’s amazing food.
FOOD- *Yeah, it’s legal dude* An entire pig was sacrificed for your enjoyment. Raised and nurtured and harvested right here in Hopewell, NJ, so I hope you take the time to enjoy its life and how delicious Greg was able to make it taste. Meat isn’t something to take lightly, so let’s celebrate the dedication that's required to do it right.
GROWLERS- I bought a bunch of sweet 32oz growlers that you can see in the attached picture and they will be available to you at cost for $4. However, you can always bring your own growler of choice as long as it bears a government warning on the back. Or prominently on the front, I wouldn't presume to know your views on drinking.
GLASSWARE- I also have a rad drinking vessel for you. This is the glass that I drink every beer out of. A bonus is that it is big enough to fit a 16oz can originating from a brewery way better and cooler than Troon so don't feel constrained by the branding.
NEW BEER- Three new beers will be on tap this weekend unless some colossal f**k up occurs that I didn't intend:
TAKE OFF YOUR SKIN AND DANCE IN YOUR BONES, 7.5%- Hoppy beer with Oats and Honey. Themed to accompany the glassware. Don’t be inhibited by that same meat blanket you’re wearing around everywhere.
DOG-EARED NOVEL, 7%- Hoppy beer with wheat. Comforting and familiar, like your favorite book.
SWEATING THROUGH YOUR CO**SE PAINT (MAPLE, CINNAMON), 7.6%- This beer contains unfermented maple syrup so please do not allow it to warm as undesired refermentation may occur and cause excessive carbonation. For your safety just chug this beer. In moderation, of course. (Only available for growler fills, since there's a single keg).

Soporific (Saison, 5.25%) should be available tomorrow. Stay warm out there!
