    They had a second drop last week, didn't they? I was in Dedham on Saturday, the Whole Foods had one sixer of Super Session and said they'd gotten it and Sip the day before (so Friday).

    I'm just imagining Sip regularly available at freaking Whole Foods. That'd be awesome.

    Anyone know how long these bottles hang around at Craft Beer Cellar in Waterbury? Will be up in VT for new years. Probably could get to the store on the 29th. Would Fayston Maple Imperial Stout still be around?

    Almost certainly not, unless for some reason their deliver is pushed from Tuesday to Thursday due to the weekend holiday (extremely doubtful). Same day sell out is normal for most special releases since there's such limited quantity. Your better bet is to call around and see if you can find it on draft somewhere.

    Lawson's bottles only get delivered to hunger mountain coop, Warren store, beverage warehouse. Limited quantities that go within hours. Cans of sip and super session have wider distribution, sip usually goes that day super session usually sticks around until the next delivery. Everything moves faster around holidays

    It's funny, I think so many people make this assumption about Lawson's that it actually flies under the radar a little bit. I've found bottled Lawson's by completely by accident surprisingly often. Maybe just lucky though.

    Depends on which place you go. Bottles only go to warren store, CBC Waterbury, and Beverage Warehouse. I have only been to Warren Store and CBC for bottles. Warren store for fayston release Dec 2015 sold out in less than an hour. Hunger Mt sold out in about an hour (no more bottles there). Last week, I was able to get the last few bottles of apple brandy fayston at Warren Store at 10 am friday (day after wed drop) and the last bottle at cbc at about noon friday. Essentially, I think the bottles sell out day of drop, usually in a few hours max.

    Thanks everyone! Guess wishful thinking on my part. Either way, I'm planning on hitting CBC after Alchemist. So I'll see what they have.

    agree, triple sunshine didn't even sell out in the same day at hunger mountain earlier this year.

    What are the chances that Triple Sunshine and/or Pow Pow is available still on 12/28? I'm heading up to VT for New Years and would love to get my hands on either of these.

    Never had Triple Sunshine and was looking to trade for one and was looking to get a price? Is Triple Sunshine around $13?
