    I work in Boston, happy to trade you Smutty Farmhouse. Easily had in the burbs.

    Get it sometimes. Live within 30 minutes. Met the brewmaster. Still painfully hard to get. Have to ask every shop every day. NEBCO should be expanding soon *fingers crossed*

    Any Upland sour. I've found a lot of 3 Floyds whilst looking around. Behemoth was one but I got a bottle not to long ago. I just got Grapefruit Jungle from Sun King as well.

    Where in PA are you? I'm in Philly and know I've seen it around, although it might've been right across the bridge in Jersey. Let me know if you want me to pick you up a bottle if I see one

    I'm out in BFE, so local doesn't exist, but I'll throw Bell's Blacknote out as one I've wanted to try for a while that always seems just out of reach.

    BA Gonzo was (not sure if it still is) everywhere in MD.

    Quite a few places in MD have that.

    Seems like they haven't made Moe's Bender in a while. Cacao Bender is a much more likely find. I just want more tea-bagged Furious, which disappeared about the same time as Moe's Bender.

    So freakishly good.

    Really? I thought this was fairly easy to get in New England. Does it sell out fast near you?


    My answer: Ghandi Bot. I've never even SEEN the damn thing. And I know I won't anytime soon here in MA :slight_frown:

    The core range of Smuttynose stuff is easy-ish to get at my workplace--although even among those, we tend to get maybe five or six cases between their brown ale, summer weizen, pale ale, and IPA in our weekly deliveries of 500+ cases--but for whatever reason, anything even slightly more obscure than those just doesn't show up. And as I say, in the absence of a car, my options for exploring the distribution scene beyond my immediate area are, sadly, very limited :slight_frown:

    The only one I know about since turning 21 is idiots drool and I think I ended up missing the right one. Not a ton of rare or harder to get stuff coming out locally that I'm aware of. Splinter Gold was the only one recently, but got that one. Guess I'm doing well at covering releases or my locals aren't lol. I think it's the former though.

    The Brew Kettle Tunguska. In the past 3 years I've only had one bomber and 3/4 of a growler since it kicked.

    It's really just Coast and Westbrook that make AMAZING brews here in SC - I've been fortunate enough to score all of the heavy hitters from both!

    You're in luck, they're brewing more as we speak [type?]

    Really? I saw it sitting on the shelves for days, maybe weeks, last time it came around. Follow pipeworks on fb, see when they distribute it. Follow your local bottle shops on twitter/fb, etc. It won't be that hard to pick one up.
    If it turns out that you don't get any, just post on BA bitching about it and I'm sure someone will invite you to bottle share theres.
