Ganja Bot Release Party

The Bot is back. Join us as we celebrate the return of Ganja Bot, the terpene-infused version of our G-Bot Double IPA. This year we’re celebrating in both Branford and Woodbridge on the same day! 

Expect fresh pours, live music, local vendors, and a few interactive experiences throughout the day. 

Event Details

🍻 The Beer

Ganja Bot will be available on draft and to go at both locations while supplies last. This annual release is a terpene-infused take on our G-Bot Double IPA and a favorite among IPA fans.

🎨 Paint Your Own Piece

We’re teaming up with Claydate of Woodbridge for a hands-on creative activation happening at both taprooms. Guests can reserve a spot in advance to paint their own pipe or bong during the event.

How it works:

• We provide the pipes & bongs, paints, brushes, and supplies
• Paint your piece onsite during the event
• Claydate will take your item back to their studio to be kiln fired
• The NEBCO team will follow up with pickup details once your piece is ready

This activation runs 12-5pm, we strongly recommend starting no later than 3:30pm to allow for enough time to finish your piece.

Reservations are strongly encouraged. A limited number of walk-in pieces may be available of. Stay tuned for more information on how you can purchase your piece!

🌿 Joint Rolling Competition

Think you’ve got skills? Join us for our Joint Rolling Competition, where participants will go head-to-head to see who can roll the cleanest and most creative joints.

Speed Competition: Competitors will have 2 minutes to roll as many joints as they can. Once time is up, our judges will count and review each entry to determine which two will go head-to-head to see who can roll the cleanest joint the fastest. 
Creative Competition: Competitors will have 5 minutes to roll their most creative or outrageous joint. This is your chance to show off your technique and imagination. Whether it’s intricate, over-the-top, or just impressively well crafted, judges will be looking for creativity, structure, and overall presentation when choosing a winner. Sign Up Here to Compete. Competition Disclaimer: Participants must be 21 years or older to compete. For the purposes of this competition, all joints will be filled with hops provided by the NEBCO team. Under no circumstances may competitors light, smoke, or otherwise ignite their joints before, during, or after the competition.
