    I know, I just hate being 'that guy' that calls busy stores looking for beer. Stopped doing that a couple years ago.

    I'd rather just go by word of mouth of someone happened to be in there today

    King Size is available a day early at Heritage. I should have waited to start drinking.

    Maybe no longer in demand for most, but finally got my hands on some born again yesterday at the golden valley liquor barrel. It's still delicious!

    Thanks for the tip! When I left Heritage this morning, I believe there was just one left.

    They said that they'll probably be getting more crowlers in next week, and that Ansari's would at some point as well. Keep your eye on Twitter.

    Not super close to MG, but I saw it at Top Ten Andover yesterday.

    I got my 4pack at Haskell's in Plymouth - they only had a case or two and I had to ask for it. Things like that also seem to hang around a bit longer at Cellar's in Plymouth as well because it's so off the beaten path. Happy Hunting.

    This may be a long shot, but is there any Backwoods Bastard around still?

    There were a few bottles at Ale Jail today - that was early this afternoon though.

    It looks like Happy Gnome may have it on tap as well, if that helps!

    $9 a pour, so worth it. Thanks!

    I thought there was a couple cases at Forest Lake MGM. I'd call before heading there.

    Wild Mind is doing their next bottle release tomorrow when they open. They will be their first two foeder-aged beers. There are 100 bottles of each (no limits).

    Thomas still has a bunch of King Size with no limits ($15). They also have Pe-Kan, Paradise, Bomb, SHIT, and Rye on Rye on Rye. Also, the new boxed Todd has an early April canning date.

    Blissful with 5/8 canning date at SLL. Probably still had 8-10 four packs on the shelf.

    Curious to know other people's take on this. Living close to the area, I really, really want to support these guys more than just my weekly visits to the brewery. But as an ex-sour head (I still thoroughly enjoy them, just no longer seek them out), I just can't justify the price.

    I wish they would have these on tap. Hard to justify the price without ever having one of their barrel aged sours before
