You didn't enjoy it if you didn't drink it from a stange.

Quoted post made me realize that this glassware has one perfect purpose- drinking this beer! Hops and a strange come together. Finally got to try and really enjoyed it. Thanks.

I wonder if any stores I know of will have some available. I'm just looking for a few bottles to carry on my vertical.

Only getting 1 case of 12 16.9s apparently, but I'll hold a bottle for you. My distro didn't keep Sofie and Matilda in stock very well and InBev is punishing them. C'est la vie. If you want to drink some beers on Friday let me know.

Apparently NH didn't get any kegs. I'm switching to Allen's Coffee Brandy.

Step one: buy gallon of milk
Step two: buy handle of Allens
Step three: dump out half of milk
Step four: pour Allens into milk jug
Success!!!

I forgot to mention, I opened one of those Raspberry Lineage Wheat things a few nights ago and was really impressed with it. It was better than Apricot Stonington. Anyone else get to try a bottle?

Yeah, we had one like the day after it was released I think. I liked it a lot, great nose, but the rest left a little to be desired - a little thin and acidic. We had one of ShawDeuce22's raspberry homebrews right after that frankly blew it out of the water. I thought Apricot Stonington was miles better - that was the biggest apricot fruit bomb I think I've ever had, though I would note that I apparently perceive apricot very strangely in beer, because I never get all that much out of Fou... But yeah, Apricot Stonington was a legit 5/5 for me. I'm not sure if there's just huge bottle variation in it, or what - my friend I opened the Apricot with had opened another one previously and said it was very different.

The amount of apricot in mine was a little lame. Fresh Fou Foune in recent years is like apricot juice then it just thins out and becomes very acidic. Stonington had a little sharp vinegar on the finish that I didn't like and apricot didn't seem dominant enough.

The Raspberry LW had a lot of fruit and jammy pie-like flavors. Not super vibrant like fresh RdG but something like a good batch of Coolship Red. Made it super drinkable for me.

not even trolling, Boston sports fans are the worst, good IPA's though

I don't watch any sports that use balls but I'm a terrible sports fan, that's for sure

I went. Awesome spot. Good amount of parking. Samples and a trip through the bottle line in at 12 out at 12:20. Its going to be special when they get into full swing.

 

[Aaron from the Wood]

Anyone try the new batch of Apricot Stonington yet? Thoughts? I was thinking about picking up a couple if there's any left today...

If anyone didn't get their fill of burbincountry on Black Friday, supreme put out ~40 cases on the floor at $7.99 per. More than last year and last year they lasted until almost June.

[tylerk88]

Anyone know if the draught list on their site is current? Either way, I'll probably head over to take advantage of this.

I have found that it almost never is current, but prices like that are rare in Boston. Go and be surprised!

I would search untapped and see what people are drinking there... thats what I usually do with Hobos
