Anyone seen this years Bourbon County in distro yet? I know some places are doing Black Friday releases but **** that.

 

[BeersMorgan]

Just swing through central square, last year supreme did a black friday release and by the time I went through in the afternoon I got a ORVW (Think I paid $70?) and they still had tons of reg and some barleywine left. A friend got a case of coffee that morning. I don't think reg sold out until almost March.

I think they are doing the same thing with a PvW raffle this Friday.

It's already on shelves in places outside of the 95 loop. Haven't noticed it in the greater boston area.

Any stores have it out yet?

People on BA have said Super Liquors in Framingham and an unnamed store in the south shore. Could've sworn I heard another place further west.

 

[BeersMorgan]

Stopped in yesterday to get a bottle. Same as last year, ~30 cases stacked around the pillar in the back; $8.99 per.

 

[HevvyMetalHippie]

Found it at Legman's for 8.99 or 9.99 and grabbed a few. Don't really care about trying to hunt down the other ones. Opened one of my 2015 bottles...doo doo.

 

[BeersMorgan]

Yeah definitely over chasing. BA Ten Fidy stovepipe cans on the other hand, tried that the other day and I'd chase that around for sure.

Fort Point Market posted they got them last week but sold out in like an hour. Hot commodities, hopefully it starts popping up more.

I stopped in at total wine today, their spot on the shelf was empty but I asked and they had 3 behind the counter, only 1/per though.
I hate asking about anything at TW because they're
Clueless but it also seems that stuff lasts there waaaaay longer than julios or the other big craft stores

Haha what are you doing in the Boston thread? Super generous offer! I might take you up on that but I need to drink this one to see if I want more since it's kinda pricy! Thanks either way!

Haha still get notifications from when I posted in here when planning a Boston trip last year. Enjoy seeing what you folks got going on and reminiscing about Trillium and Neptune Oyster.

Looks like CBC Belmont had some 3F yesterday (Doesjel, A&G, OG), and today Fort Point Market posted that they have some Tilquin (Mure and Gueuze). I believe that everything at CBC is gone, and I'm sure the Mure at FPM won't be there for long. Any other lambic leads?

There was a bottle of Mure (maybe from the last drop) at Pemberton when I was there on Wed. Tucked on a bottom shelf.

My mistake. I stopped by Pemberton this afternoon and there were 3 bottles of Quetsche ($19.99) hidden on the bottom shelf. No Mure. A couple of bottles of BCBBW hanging around too ($14.99).

Also, Liquor World in Porter Sq had 10+ 375ml bottles of Tilquin Oude Gueuze today.

Ok this feels like a stupid question, but I'm gonna ask anyways...was that $19.99 Quetsche a 375ml?

Yep, 375ml. There's a reason those bottles are still hanging around.

I will be in North Rhode Island for Christmas so Monday (the only day I will be able to get out) I want to hit a Trillium and/or something else. Which Trillium of the two (Canton or Boston) should I go to since they are close to the same distance and is there anywhere else worth going to on a Monday? Thanks

Not from Boston area, but...

Canton is huge, has a tasting room, and food trucks sometimes. I think Fort Point still just sells cans/bottles/growlers to go, right? I'd vote for Canton.

 

[Rich2]

Canton. Easy parking. Can get pours.

Just seconding what everyone else said. Canton is closer, parking is easier, and you can get pours there.

Pretty big news from Trillium:

I think it was just about 2 years ago that I said "So we’re building another brewery. Holy ****."

As we celebrate the anniversary of our first year in Canton and look forward to a new year, I'm beyond thrilled to share that we have another expansion in process. We are working on plans to relocate our Boston brewery!

More details will come, but we have a new space under agreement in our Fort Point neighborhood. For now let's just say that there will be more of everything: more beer, (way) more space, and more fun (but still no dedicated parking...sorry, just not possible in downtown Boston).

What's that? You heard something about a farm in Connecticut? For now we're just looking and dreaming. A project like this requires a ton of planning and due diligence and JC and I are not people who do anything on a whim (oh wait...except maybe opening that first brewery...) We need to make sure we have the right space, in a town and community that will welcome and support us, and can make it easy for all of our fans to visit. At this point we've made no commitments.

Some may say "Slow down, Trillium! You're going too fast!" But remember...these things don't happen overnight. It took us almost 2 years to open Trillium. Then we spent a year finding our Canton location and another year building the brewery. That farm? The farmhouse brewery was our original dream long before we even built our first home on Congress Street. It would be at minimum a two year project and we don't even have a farm yet. But it sure is fun to keep planning and dreaming.

Our new Boston brewery will be a long-awaited expansion for all of us: for me and JC to take one step closer to sharing our ultimate vision of Trillium; for our resourceful production team who spent over a year brewing with a converted dairy tank; for our kickass retail team who crush service every day behind that bar in 400 square feet; and especially for you...all of our fans who have waited in the rain in lines that sometimes curled down Congress, past Lucky's on to A Street!

Thank you for supporting us on this wild ride! #teamtrillium is super excited for what’s to come…stay tuned for more details and have a happy and healthy new year!



Cheers!

I just hope it includes a tasting room. Being able to hang there and have a beer or two before/after a meal at Row34 would be stupendous.
