    just saw this on craft beer in NJ facebook group. Very excited.

    should be good distro too. In my area, shore point did well with boulevard and the other small things theyve picked up over the last few years.

    it'll sell for a few weeks, then people will realize it's a novelty, and that'll be that

    Bought a 6 pack few weeks ago and only drank one...the rest will make nice little extras in trades

    This is a really cool beer and pretty damn good. Can anyone really drink more then one in a sitting though?

    I wouldn't drink more than one in a sitting, but I would drink more than one in a week. It will become a staple in my house.

    I was looking forward to this also and picked up a 6 pack in FL. 1st impression was "wow it tastes just like root beer" but as others have stated, after that, the novelty wears off. There is no hop presence whatsoever and this is more of a root beer flavored wine cooler than it is a beer IMO. It's pure soda right down to the carbonation levels. When it does hit NJ, I would advise buying a single or 2 if you can before committing to any more.
