I've been told this crap was dropped everywhere in large quantity. Kappy's in Medford got a **** load

By 'this crap' do you mean the regular, or particular variants?

 

[Dicers]

I'm really hard ISO coffee

 

[tehzachatak]

Coffee is, and has been, gone pretty much everywhere I've been. Had multiple bottles of barleywine offered to me today though, so there's still plenty of that, and I found a rogue Backyard yesterday.

 

[Dicers]

Plenty of backyard @ 26 a bottle (seemed high? ) at Supreme

Oof. Yeah, I got my Backyard for $19.

Barley wine, regular, and Backyard I think.

I drank the Backyard last night and it was like a PB&J sugar bomb. Way too sweet for me. The barley wine was pretty good but also very sweet.

Yeah I'm drinking the barleywine right now. Good flavors, but ****, the beetus is coming for me.

Bring on the sweet stuff, I thought the barleywine was killer...and somehow less expensive than the regular, don't know how they pulled that off but I'll take it

Pretty Things' Barbapapa - have you guys had this stuff yet? I'd put it up against Dark Lord, and at $8.00 a bomber it's stupid cheap. I have a feeling that the PT folks won't be pricing it so cheaply next year. Love this stuff.

Had a glass at their anniversary party a couple weeks back. Tasty RIS but didn't really bowl me over. Standard Pretty Things...solid for the style but nothing I'll go out of my way for.

Had this strange aroma/taste that is found only in certain imperial stouts. I think Darkness has a smidgen of that element, but Barbapapa has a ton of it and I found it off-putting. Dark Lord is a sugary sweet, rich beer but even that was better than Barbapapa. Not unexpected of Pretty Things, but not really going to seek any of their stuff out at this point

Any update on Jack's Abby Vanilla Framminghammer? I'm hnnnngggggng for some.

Blatant makes beers besides the IPA and Session?

They filled the barrels just about a month ago. So it's coming, but probably not January.

Saw a bottle (black label) of the imperial stout at Liquor World last week. Other than that there has also been the anniversary DIPA last year called One which was awesome.

Yes thanks! tehzachatak alerted me to pepper my angus. I told him it was extra peppered for him.

 

[tehzachatak]

JA informed me via twitter that all three will be going to distro as well- Vanilla and Coffee will be more limited but still distributed. This is wonderful news. No word yet on prices or limits at the brewery.

I'll probably get a 4-pack from Julio's or the Vin Bin. They are not selling any beer at their gift shop yet.

 

[BeersMorgan]

I heard middle of the week, do you know if stores are getting it right away or brewery only for a little bit?

According to their Facebook page:

We will be selling limited quantities of the beer only in Massachusetts starting January 15th, but we do not have confirmation on where that will be at this time. However we will be updating this page with places where the beer can be found as that information becomes available.

But earlier they said it will be at:

Kappy's Fine Wine & Spirits - Medfordhttps://www.facebook.com/KappysMedford

Wegmans Northborough

Table and Vine - West Springfield
https://www.facebook.com/tableandvine

Park 'n Shop - Auburn http://www.parknshop.net/auburn.shtml

Kappy's Fine Wine & Spirits - Medford

And Vin Bin in Marlboro is getting some on Thursday and I'm sure Julio's is getting some as well as the CBCs.
