Boston area thread

According to Instagram, Atwood's Tavern in Cambridge is still pouring Hill Farmstead Nordic Saison this afternoon. The keg is leftover from last night's awesome Enlightenment Ales Nordic Saison Party. -

Anybody see any of the framminghammer variants are still hanging around?

Last summer when I used to have to go to Al's Liquors they would have all these stragglers buried somewhere near the register. This store is a hell hole, and looks like it should be on an episode of Hoarders. Every now and again, you can find a dusty bottle of Bourbon County or these variants scattered in the "beer department."

Anyone planning on going?

 

[bearsonacid1]

Im looking forward to this. I should be there around 530

 

[JCastle1]

I was already going for dinner, nice coincidence.

So did I miss something or did Framboos never hit the Boston area?

I had boomsauce last weekend. My drinking companion said it was "aggressively OK." That's a pretty good description IMO. There's nothing wrong with it, but unless they *massively* improve, there's no chance I'm paying $17/4pk.

Price is down at the brewery $15 a 4pack. Local stores near me had it at $14 a 4 pack. Regardless. Good beer just not "out of this world"

Oh, interesting. $17 is what it was originally at the brewery, right? Both surprised and happy they've already dropped the price. At $14 I'm a lot happier.

Haven't tried the blend yet but I still wouldn't pay anything for Steal this Can.

My mistake. $15 a 4pack.

****, samples are free now too? Obviously they took some feedback on pricing yet still took the d-bag route and told off all the people that complained about it.

They only have a license to pour draft pints for $ I think Fri Sat Sun. Mon - Thur its free 2oz samples

If that's the case, it's pretty ****** to charge for samples some days and not others. *Edit* Although I think the pour I got on a weekend was bigger than 2oz but not a pint.

I had to pay for samples the weekend they opened. Seems really lame if they make you pay on those days.

 

[tehzachatak]

Dan Lanigan squeezing the consumer on pricing. Boy, I would have never expected that.

Apparently LHBC is starting distro in Maine within the next week or so, a launch party is happening this Friday.

That didn't take long........

Got to dump that weak batch 1 of Boomsauce somewhere

Is batch 2 better?

 

[bearsonacid1]

Is batch 2 better?

That's what everyone's saying. I still haven't had BS or Consolation Prize

 

[JBP]

How could any of the Boom Sauce batches be different?? They're blended for consistency!

 

[bearsonacid1]

Ha! You'd think if their concept made any sense this would've been the ultimate test to shut everyone up.

 

[JCastle1]

That Other Half kicked quick... Overheard someone saying they were here for a Trillium collab, not sure if that's true.

Other way around. Trillium reached out to them when they heard they were coming for the Row 34 event, from my understanding.

 

[bearsonacid1]

They brewed an IPA. People are going to go insane

I would go full fanboy if it's trillium grade juicy with mouth punch of all green everything.

I'd be interested if LHBC brewed Glorious + canned that. Was pretty decent at LH two months ago.

Skipped the OHNYC event in favor of drinking a Vicinity at home bottled that day. Feeling okay about my decision.

 

[jomobono]

Guessing he is not a fan.

I bought a 4-pack of Boom Sauce over the weekend. While I didn't think it was overly bitter, I did find it to be a syrupy pine-sol mess.
