    From NEBCo's Dec 16th Facebook post:

    "We are running a bit behind our normal Imperial Stout Trooper release schedule. We'll start sending out Imperial Stout Trooper cans, yup Cans! the last week of December and the first week of January. Additionally we're aiming to have growlers of IST and G-Bot available next week. G-Bot cans will also start going back out into CT the last week of December as well as the first week of January. We will do our best to have Bot much more readily available this coming year. Same exact beer, just a new-ish label. Thanks everyone for all your support!"

    That's this week. Has anyone seen it yet?

    Just picked up a 4 pack of G-Bot in SE CT. The store only got 1 case and it was sold out in under an hour.

    I found a single can of G-Bot in the valley today at my regular store. Wish they still sold four packs.... I heard next Monday for IST around here.

    Can anyone point a Baystater to some easily accessible locations in the New Haven area that might receive these? Will be visiting a friend in North Branford for NYE on Thursday. Would love to see if I can score either of these, but don't want to be driving all over if possible. Cheers!

    Checked 3 stores in Putnam on Thursday. Nothing yet, but scored a 4-pack of SoS at each store. Nice consolation, but haven't had Gandhi in like 9 months... I'll let you know if any arrives with Friday deliveries.

    Could anyone provide a decent bottle shop in Darien/Norwalk area. Here for a few days and would love some Se Hag or other CT beers.

    You can check Ninety9 Bottles in Norwalk. Also, as @MikeM417 mention, Total Wine has a big selection.

    What stores did you find SoS at? And how was the stock?

    Since this thread is already getting derailed, I'll ask the most important question:
    Is Elm City Pils back?

    I went to the Amity Liquor store near Nebco yesterday evening. An employee was walking around with a four pack of G-Bot. He said it was the last one, that they had gotten a case on Monday, and that it "didn't go far". He said they're expecting to get a delivery of 5 cases or so next week.
