Hi to all - you had the best float in the (St. Patrick's Day) parade. You have the best ale ever, and you had the best music on your float. I just got back from Digger McDuff's in Cromwell where I had an icy pint of Ten Penny! Thanks - Cynthia L, a very satisfied Ten Penny Customer.

My wife and I were recently visiting her daughter in Darien, CT. I love to try different brews, of all types and origins, then I tried Dirty Penny, and fell in love with the flavor and smoothness. I was wondering if there was any way that I could place an order?

I was in W. Hartford last week on business and tired and hungry, stopped in a pub to grab a bite and a beer. WOW! Your ten penny knocked my socks off! I prefer ales over lagers but 10 penny is one of the best ales I ever had. Everywhere we went we asked for 10 penny and everybody had it! Made the trip very memorable!

I am glad that you guys were at the Lowell Ribs and Brew
festival. The Dirty Penny is awesome and it's cool that you guys
arrived in style with the decked-out mini keg van.

I recently tried Ten Penny for the first time on a business trip to
Hartford and thought it was great. A few days later some other co-workers
flew in and I turned them onto it. We all agree it is one of the best
beers. We have searched the L.A. area and unfortunately it seems you do
not distribute out here.
Can you ship me some?
Sorry, Mike,
but our brews don't "travel" well. They must remain cold because
they are unfiltered and contain no preservatives.

Gail,
please be sure to let Bob and the rest of the guys know that we DID
make it back to Oklahoma City with 8 carefully packed, and chilled,
growlers (6 Dirty Penny and 2 Ten Penny), thanks to the understanding
nature of the desk agents at Southwest Airlines. As they unpacked
our extremely large ice-chest to check our stash, we had roughly 75-80
people back up in line behind us, many of which wanted to know why we were
packing that much brew, and where they could also get some. So, we
gave away all 8 of the bottle tags to people in line, and managed to
prevent the gate agents from offering other customers samples of our
brew!
We are big fans of the dark brews, such as Guinness and
the like, but we really love the micro-brews. And nothing we've
found compares to yours. We are trying to ration our supply of Dirty
Penny, because we're not sure when our business travels will allow us to
hit the Hartford area again. We hope we can make it back for the
"Pipes in the Valley" shindig. Until then, please keep the kettles
bubbling. We will be back!

I absolutely love your Ten Penny Ale. Discovered it while dining
out at a restaraunt one night and was later pleasantly surprised to find
it sold at our local Big Y store in Tolland. Bought my first 2 growlers
and have been hooked ever since. You've got "IT", the magic recipe, don't
change one thing
.Happy brewing!
Subject: Ten Penny Reserve!!!!!!!!
Hey Tim, I was working in Avon
this week. I happened to stop at M&R on Rt. 44 for a TPA
growler to bring home, when low and behold I found 4 pints
of your TPA Reserve. I bought them out of their entire stock, and
gave one to my buddy. They were fantastic as usual. My buddy
was extremely impressed and he went so far as to say that it may have been
his favorite beer of all time. It is definitely my favorite and I'm
glad to see it in stores. Keep on keepin' on with the production. I
look forward to finding more of this coveted treasure down this
way.
P.S. I love the bottles.

Hi
Folks @ Burnside Brewers;
Just bought my first jug of Ten Penny Ale
tonight & I must say I think it'sgreat. I love the fact it's a
local product & I just checked out the website to find which
establishments serve it on tap, locally. I don't go out much , but will
definitely be buying Ten Penny Ale (for home, non-driving use)on a regular
basis. I also like the bit of local history on the back label & the
website.
My Great Grandfather drove a horse & wagon & later
a truck for the Hanley's Ale Co. of Providence RI, here in eastern CT,
delivering barrels o'beer/ale.-----Keep up the good brewing.
Your newest loyal customer,

PennyAle is exactly what beer should taste like! It is unbelievably
satisfying with every pint. I tell everyone about it and those who haven't
heard of it are mezmerized. Congratulations on brewing a beer that I am
proud to call CT's finest!"
