    Other than suds explosion after opening 3 or 6 cans I have tried its a pretty good WC style IPA. Anyone else try yet? Thoughts?

    I tried the IPA and the Pale ale. I didn't care for the IPA but thought the pale ale was quite nice.

    Haven't seen any NBPT yet. Looking forward to trying the IPA. Refreshing to see a brewery start out with non-tickeriffic styles and packaging these days.

    I've tried both the IPA and Pale. While I liked them both, I thought the Pale was too bitter for a pale ale, but it turns out that it finished drier than the brewer expected, so that one is still being worked on. I passed up on trying the Wit this weekend, but I have heard good things.

    Anyone know where the cans are available? Anxious to try these beers. I like the concept of NBPT (for a change, a properly capitalized brick-and-mortar brewery making approachable styles in a consumer-friendly 12-oz format) - I'd like to see them succeed.

    Georgio's in Billerica has all 3 styles and Harrington's in Chelmsford has the Pale Ale and Wit.

    I saw IPA and Wit at McAloon's in North Andover. New England Wine & Spirits and Port Wine & Spirits in Newburyport have some (not sure which varieties).

    I got my 6 pack at Kappy''s across from North Shore Mall. They had Pale and Belgian too. Would have tried Belgian but too much going on why not do a plain old double or tripel? Then don't go nuts over Pales. IPA was solid local and in a 12oz can for around $10 a six. Perfect summer beer. Are they north shore distro only?

    Read that it's currently being distributed in the merrimack valley and will be state wide by the end of April.

    I found mine at Harrington's Wine & Liquors in Chelmsford. I grabbed up a six pack of the Green Head IPA. It's a decent west coast style IPA. Sticky and resiny. 10.49 for a six pack.

    Just wanted to chime in that I tried this out of the can at the Black Cow in Newburyport last night and I was pleasantly surprised. It is a terrific west coast style IPA and I will be adding it to my regular rotation this summer(staying with my parents for a couple months on the North Shore until my new house is ready).

    They had a ton of it at granite liquors last Tuesday. I think it was a pretty good beer. The guy who worked their told me it was one of the freshest IPA's in house. Also had the baxter brewing STOWAWAY IPA.

    Had the IPA on draft at Sunset in Allston. Good, not great, but a solid IPA
