    I've heard good reviews on there stuff so far and I know they recently started doing some small distributing. Looking to see if anyone saw their Pomona around before or their new one Watershed coming out now? Their Twitter account has listed some of their drops and just hoping to find some this time. Always like trying new offerings so hoping to get some.


    Cheers!

    I've seen plenty of growlers around, no cans.

    If you can't snag any cans at one of their drops is it possible to buy any beer at the brewery? Looks like they have hours on Thurs, Fri and Sat. but info seemed "buried" in their FB page so maybe not current? Would love to try some!

    I snagged the watershed today. Wow... really nice. In my opinion first impressions it tastes and looks almost exactly like Swish. Definitly going to be a regular for me. $17.20 for a 4pk.

    Seemed to be moving fast I hit three stores, two had it and their were other people in there buying it also, one was sold out and another I called was sold out. All were one 4pk per. Needless to say I was suprised.

    As far as I know their brewery is not open to the public. There is a restaurant next door to it that serves their beer on tap.

    Don't think they have gotten the permit or license to sell or pour on site but not 100% sure. Some details on their facebook page though. You can find growlers of their beer and it on tap (Plan B Springfield) at lots of these places too but would imagine there will be less growlersand more canes at some point. I was able to get a 4pk of their Watershed IPA and it's really good. Want to know what hops are in it but I'm guessing there's some galaxy? Reminds me a little of TH Green but a little thinner and lighter. Will definitely be looking for more from them when possible.

    I could be wrong but I don't think they've made it out of hampden county, a few went to Northampton I think. Their twitter page lists where they made drops.

    Based on what they tweeted I don't think watershed will be available this week which is a bummer, so damn good. Haven't had pamona though, I plan on grabbing some.

    FYI

    They are making drops of Pomona today at same places it seems like they've dropped before. They are updating with Tweets as they're delivered.

    I snagged pamona last night, It's good but it's almost like a weaker watershed. Similar flavors but Pamona has a little more bite/bitterness and less body IMO. Still great beer compared to everyone else in the area (western mass, besides TH). Only ones yet i've seen nail the look but everything else still needs some work.

    Wow - more new haze to try - that picture of Pomona looks great, and the ratings need some critical mass but are looking pretty strong right out of the gate!!

    Looks like Wednesday 2-6 is the first day of can sales on site at 782 Center St. Ludlow, MA Can buy two 4 packs of Watershed and one 4 pack of Pomona ($14/ per 4 pack) as well as one 64oz growler fill/refill ($12) and two 32oz refills ($8). No word on how many cases but hopefully it lasts until close to 6 for the working folks.

    Anyone able to go to the first can sale day? I was not able to but saw lots of good responses on Twitter. Seemed like they sold out before their 6:00 close time and had 120 cases of each there.

    I was debating going but wouldn't have made it anyways, was more interested in the watershed which i prefer over the pamona. Good to see they had a decent turnout.

    I haven't had the Pomona yet but this Watershed is in my top 5 beers. It's definitely on par with my favorite Treehouse IPA's.

    As I've mentioned before it reminds me ALOT of Swish. Good stuff
