    Really hope this is a successful "test", though I don't see how it wouldn't be, and it sounds like they'll be a permanent fixture at some point anyway. They make some amazing stuff, high on a short list of breweries I really miss(ed) after moving here from Mass. Highly encourage those in the area to check out their offerings when they come around. Hoponius Union, Mass Rising, and Kiwi Rising are dynamite. Really, most of their stuff is..

    If they signed with a wholesaler, this isn't a test.

    Yes, they are at the top of the pile when it comes to American lagers. I think they will do well here.

    Correct, this is not a test. We are in the process of building a new brewery, once it is operational there will be a full launch. Until then we do not have the production capacity to send regular shipments. If it goes well and we are able to spare the capacity there may be another limited release before 2016.

    If you have any questions, let me know.

    Hopefully not just Philly. Hopefully Shangy's sends some up to NEPA.

    How about Delaware. We are small, but I may buy enough to personally fund your new brewery.:grinning:

    My son lives near philly so hopefully I can get some of your smoke and dagger.

    We are not currently looking at any other Mid Atlantic markets, at least until the new brewery is running.

    Sounds good. I've had the Smoke and Dagger, it was quite tasty.

    Very exciting. I have only tried the mass rising, but that is the standard that I now hold IPL's to.

    Does that mean that Philly will see distribution before NYC? I know you have been in Westchester for a bit but still nothing in NYC.

    Possibly some special kegs making it down for Philly Beer Week?

    IN NY we are not in Long Island, Westchester or NYC yet. Filling out the state will be a priority, along with our missing New England states, once we have enough beer.

    if you check out Jacks Abby's facebook page there are a number of tap takeovers scheduled for the area. there's a decent number so should manage to find one near you.
