yah, I totally agree, by shitty I specifically mean beer that's poorly brewed and full of off flavors (not crazy adjuncts) and faults yet still does well because they happen to follow popular style trends, are brewed by some golden child places or brewers or has lots of good socials and marketing etc; versus beers I just don't enjoy or like but are brewed well without faults...anyway thanks for saying it, I mostly I don't bother mentioning it to avoid the wrath of the ipa bros and fony beer experts - I homebrewed for years and passed the BJCP test so I know some...; and dare I say I'm burnt out on neipas...?

all good, yah I've seen the same, places opening and closing in "rapid" succession in some "cursed" restaurant locations, anyway prob be one of those things that unless we hear from an insider or someone in the know it will just be a generic reason... was asking because I saw a bunch well known ct foodie instagrammers and tiktokers (edit aka influensters) post about the place, the social media marketing worked out for the posters but not the business

yah that's the common answer, though I was hoping to get something more specific (edit) like it was the taint of shebeen! it is in the old shebeen taproom location so that's what made me suspect it's them with a different name or owners disagreed and split or whatever it may be, just seems odd to open a new taproom then 6 month later close it up
