Beer shop finds.

Weyerbacher Sunday Morning Stout at Wegman’s in Burlington. Maybe it’s on the shelves elsewhere, but I’ve not recently seen it anywhere.

 

Total wine in Everett just opened a case each of Velvet Mirkin and Helldorado. 12oz $9.99

 

Anyone spot any Founders Breakfast Stout bottles anywhere near Boston?

 

my distributor on the south shore said hopefully this week

 

Mentioned Collective Arts IPA No. 3 before but just cracked my last can and shared with a buddy.. We both agree it's about the closest thing to Julius on the shelves. It's going on 5-6 weeks after the canning date and it tastes excellent.

 

Just a shout out to Middleton Wine and Spirits in Danvers. I don't get up north very often but I try to stop in when I do and the shop has been selling craft for about a year and their selection has been fantastic. It's small, but the variety is really good and the guy is super nice. Just grabbed a brewmaster jack coffee stout for a gift which I haven't seen around.

Haven't been to the original store but I'd assume it is even bigger.

 

They have a sister store called Howes Station on rt 62 near farmer Browns. Great selection there too

 

Has anybody seen Clown Shoes Pecan Pie Porter or Double Chocolate Sonata.

I recently had this years Breakfast Exorcism and it was great, tons of bourbon barrel.

 

If you happen to live anywhere near Berman's in Lexington you might give them a call. They tend to have a lot of Clown Shoes stuff since, as I learned on this very board not too long ago, Clown Shoes is run by the owner's son.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I snagged a double chocolate sonata at CBC Newton, i also grabbed a Hermit Thrush Brattle Beer sour with apples.

 

That was where I got mine too. FYI, this year's Crasher in the Rye is pretty stellar too.

 

Has anyone seen Idle Hands 34 around Waltham/Metrowest? Pretty sure Gordon's isn't carrying it.

 

Try any of the Craft Beer Cellars... both Newton and Belmont took some in. Can speak to whether it is still on the shelf though. We still have some at the brewery.

 

ctkach - how much longer will you all be brewing Brocktoberfest? Loving that beer and I’d like to grab one more four pack before it runs its course...

 

It's done for the season. We have a couple cases left at the brewery but that's about it. We killed the last keg of it maybe a week ago.

 

Picked up a single of 34 last week at CBC Newton and I'm going to grab more if I can find any. Really nice balance between sweeter milk chocolate notes (maybe even a hint of vanilla) and a dryer, roasty-bitter finish.

 

Ah shit. It's a great beer; I'll look for it again next year.

 

I was surprised to see a bunch of Great North Aleworks cans at Rapid Liquors today. First I've seen of them distributing in MA to my eyes anyway. If they'd had the Rauchbier I probably would have picked it up because I liked it at the brewery and you don't see that style too often. They had their IPA (which I had at the brewery too and was good for an older school IPA), and a dry hopped pale ale I've never had.

Anyone tried the pale? Seems tough to show up on the hoppy shelves down here without something to set you apart from the pack, but it certainly doesn't seem to keep people from trying. I enjoyed my visit to the brewery so I hope things work out for them.

 

Tye died is delicious fresh. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I tried it. It's very Maine Beer Co-esque. Dry, aromatic and easy drinking.

 

Night Shift have brought them into distribution.

They've brought some great stuff into the state. Can't get enough of Pipeworks Lizard King.
