Beer shop finds.

For anyone interested, Wegman's in Medford has 5 or 6 Sierra Nevada Fresh Hop 12-packs and the Kappy's in Wellington Circle had tons of regular Bourbon County for $11.99.

 

About a half dozen fresh hop at Atlas liquors too

 

If you are in central MA, Super Liquors in Framingham still has a few cases of Fresh Hop and plenty of BCBS on the floor.

 

Was at stone zoo so decided to swing by Redstone on the way home.

They have 48 bottles of Christnas Bomb.

They have High West victory at sea.

And just sitting off on the counter at the side were two 4pks of 2016 KBS. Both gone now as I grabbed one and some fella near fell over himself to grab the other.

 

Mystic Table Beer at Bacon's in Hudson. First time having it. Really enjoy it. A lot.

 

To answer my own question, looks like it's starting to show up now. Redstone got it in yesterday.

 

Anyone see BA Ten Fidy or BA Victory at Sea south of Boston (Canton area) yet?

 

Westwood Wegmans might have BA Ten Fidy. Chestnut Hill Wegmans got a bunch.

 

I actually swung by yesterday and they didn't have any nor did they think they were getting any. No Fresh Hop packs either. Looks like Chestnut Hill has the superior beer manager

 

Come see me at Empire Wine in Kingston, we have the BA Victory at Sea and Fresh Hop packs

 

Anyone sees that Clown Shoes Snow on the Maple Tree let me know. Really looking forward to that.

 

Yankee Attleboro just tweeted that it was in

 

???

 

Wrong tab in my browser... you weren't talking about CBS...

 

Nope, the Chai someone else was looking for

 

Well this was a fun surprise at CBC Belmont.



$12 for a sixer of tallboys.

 

Grabbed the same & Mystic Table Beer at Fort Point market. Looking forward to some session beers tonight

 

You'll never get drunk that way son!

 

Finally found some Epic Triple Barrel Big Bad Baptist at Cambridge Spirits in Kendall. I’m hoping it shows up in my regular spots as well since I’d definitely pick up a few more.

I was a bit worried about the rum barrel-aging... I love rum but can’t really think of a rum BA I’ve enjoyed. Here it provides a layer of sweetness that integrates the coconut well. Speaking of which, if you don’t like coconut, this beer is not for you. It’s not suntan lotion, but the coconut dominates the nose and flavor, with the coffee providing an offsetting roasty bitterness that strengthens as it warms.

This is a great BA stout if you buy into the concept. Some Googling tells me that Maui Brewing makes an imperial version of their flagship Coconut Porter, but only for the Hawaiian market. Trips BBB is probably what that beer wishes it could be.

So anyway, high expectations met.

 

Agree with everything you say. Only problem being that I'm not a great coconut fan.

Grabbed 2. Drank 1.

Think someone's got a gift in their future. The coconut just overwhelms.

Baptista on the other hand was superb.
