    Lagunitas Willetized at t Liquor Junction $8.99. Amazing price.

    I thought Hoponius on Holiday was decent. I didn't have the first release. It seems a bit artificial on the fruit but nothing off putting. I likely won't seek it out again but gladly finish my 4.

    Grabbed a Snow on the bushes or what ever that new Clown Shoes is called plus a 4 pack of Jolly Woodsman. I've been eyeballing that stout since it before two versions of can art. Looking forward to consummating the relationship.

    Hoponius on Holiday seemed like a different beer to me this batch. Looked like a different beer too.

    I really thought the first couple of batches were better.

    I had one a month or so ago and liked it a lot. I should try the latest in the name of science.

    So, if my cousin is to be believed, she found Hardywood Gingerbread Stout at a Trader Joe's in MA. Am I missing something?

    I mean... I can't go back in time and watch her take what was supposedly the last bottle off the shelf...

    Recent activity on Untappd shows it's been purchased in MA at four spots. Three of which were Trader Joe's.

    Bro-in-law gifted me a Shakesbeer Tempest and it was pretty excellent for a shelfie. Would never have bought it based on the name but it was surprisingly hazy and juicy. Awful awful brewery name but a pretty solid beer.

    Finback Caviar at Wine Empire in Ashland. Best beer I've had from Finback. And that was a pretty nice little store.

    Also found some 12/1 Second Fiddle at the Wine & Cheese Cask that is drinking really nicely.

    This is a question I'm also curious about. And how are the prices? I like OFR -- one of my favorite all time BW's -- but there's also a skepticism. Who held these bottles back? Where were they stored? Why the resurgence?

    Yankee Sturbridge Twitter seems to indicate Shelton Brothers is responsible.
