    Launching this week.

    Its been a few years since I have had their stuff, but I remember liking the Dragons Milk and the Poet a lot. I know they play around with Barrel Aging and sours too.

    I havent seen a discussion on here about it, are people interested?

    I was told by New Holland at ACBF that CT. will be seeing their beers very soon as well.


    Cheers

    I'm interested. I can't go to the Stoddards Launch party but I am planning to go have lunch there on Friday and hopefully find some still on tap.

    Interested enough. I liked the sample I had of Dragon’s Milk at the ACBF. I just have no idea yet what their stuff usually sells for (or their bottle/package sizes) and that factors into my purchase decisions.

    Trying to get there, probably wont.

    On a non-beer note, I had that Beer Barrel Bourbon yesterday, and its awesome!

    Dragon's Milk comes in bombers and 4pk 12oz. I've seen it around the country in the $14-17 range a 4pk, so in Mass that means it's going to hit 20 bucks.

    That's not half bad, compared what I was expecting. What distributor brought them in?

    I'm pretty excited New Holland made it to MA. Dragon's Milk is a nice year round BA stout.

    Redstones in Stoneham just posted some New Holland Beers including Dragon's Milk. They also posted Mad Hatter, White Hatter, and Monkey King. Poet is back ordered but should show up next week.

    I have The Poet at The Vin Bin in Marlboro and Hopkinton, if you are looking!

    Doesn't seem like any shop in Lynn, Salem, or Swampscott has anything from New Holland. Had Dragons Milk on draft at Stoddards during lunch today, very good.

    Got my hands on a Poet. Nice oatmeal stout, I like it a tad more than Velvet Merlin from FW.

    Had my first Dragon's Milk last night in probably 3-4 years and was pleasantly surprised. I recall thinking it was solid, but I'm often disappointed when I revisit beers of my early craft days. Reminded me of CW BBS, perhaps a notch below.

    Just saw Dragon's Milk in Rhode Island, but 16.99 for a 4 pack turned me away. Hopefully it's cheaper in Mass.

    $8.95 a bomber and $15.99 a four pack was what I saw.

    Not sure I could justify that. Founders Backwoods Bastard (I know, not a stout, but still) is 14.99 roughly for a 4 pack and it's a way better beer. I'd rather spend my cash on that instead.

    After reading up on it I'd probably give Dragon's Milk a whack at $9ish for a bomber.

    A store in Reading called Pamplemousse is getting in Dragon's Milk in on Friday.
