    There was a single 4-pack at Formaggio Kitchen in Cambridge, MA about 10 days ago. I have no clue if you can expect to find more of it there or if it was just a one time thing.

    As of a few minutes ago the brewery still has it for growler fills ... It will be a good weekend

    I was just at the brewery this afternoon, and they just put on a new half-barrel for growler fills. Should last at least a little while. This batch is tasty, too - not that that's a surprise.

    We have (9) 4-pks left at my store in Barrington, RI. We are still new, only 4 months old, so some of the highly sought after stuff slips under the radar here. Shoot me a PM if you want to work something out.

    I haven't seen it for awhile in liquor stores, but Eli Cannons has it on draft right now. Plus, I think Rob has it at NEBCO for growler purchase.

    I've only found Gandhi-Bot at one place close to me - Spirits & More in West Bridgewater center. Other NEBCO brews like Sea Hag and Elm City have been around but Gandhi was not at any of my usual stops until this one. Glad I grabbed it though given the news that they are going to be out of Mass for a while. Very tasty stuff.

    Not sure whether or not the last batch was intended for RI or not, but I bought the remaining five 4-packs that my local liquor store had available. Stuff is mighty tasty for sure. First time I've have any IPA in a can, let alone a DIPA and I am quite impressed.

    Anyone know when the next batch of Bot will hit the New Haven area? Trying to get a trade going...

    I'm not sure where the latest batch was heading (I think New Haven County, but I'm not sure), but in any case it was canned almost two weeks ago and has surely already hit stores. I did notice a few cans in the fridge at the Wine Thief on Whitney, but I'm not sure whether they were from the latest batch or not.

    Happy Bot hunting!

    Thanks, seems that batch has come and gone. Amity had a pile of cases last week but none today when all I want is a measly 4 pack:slight_frown:. I am going to stop by the brewery tomorrow and see what is up. I may check out the wine thief and do a freshness taste:sunglasses:.

    Definitely be careful at places like Amity and Total Wine - they put in gigantic orders and then take a while to go through it all, even for popular stuff like Gandhi. The good news is that when there's a stack of cases on the floor you can easily check the freshness date which is stamped on each cardboard flat. At the Wine Thief you might want to ask if they have any in the back where they could check the date.

    Also in NEBCO freshness news, the newly redesigned (and renamed) cans of Elm City Pilsner just came out, so you can be sure that any green-and-silver cans are over the hill while the new green-and-yellow ones are good to go.

    Cheers!

    Warehouse Liquors in Danbury has a few 4packs left, but I'm pretty sure they're last batch.
