    A box of twelve of these arrived at my favorite Boston-area package store today. I picked up two... super fresh!

    I am hesitant to post that info given the limited supply, but my guess is that it is currently available throughout the area as it just arrived yesterday.

    since it's limited, maybe it help to know where it can be found. what exactly are you protecting by not divulging that you got it at craft beer cellar? whoops...

    Social Wine in South Boston has it too. Just heard from a friend who got two bottles.

    If you dont want to give out where you picked it up then why post at all? Is this kind of like a "ha ha I got some and you cant have any?" Not exactly the BA spirit if I must say so.

    How about some FRESH (under 6 week) Racer 5 12-packs consistently before BR unloads excess expensive DIPA bombers on this market? Been burned way too often by 4+month old product here (12 packs aren't dated) .

    I had this in my hands today but put it down after noticing that it wasn't "super fresh" and it cost $12. It was over 5 weeks old. That's not horribly old, but if you're going to charge me $12 for a bomber of a DIPA, it needs to be here under a month from bottling for my tastes. Especially when i notice a quick drop off in Racer 5's hop department. And I don't think Racer X arrived here in the Boston area much before this week, did it?

    You are right about the bottle date (092712). Has it been released in MA before? Been on my hard to get list for a while.

    I paid $8 at Bermans. Sorry for blue balling you haters. Not knowing how widely distributed it was, it seemed unfair to cut the loyal customer base out of the action. (Just a sighting... I'll just tell me friends next time :::sigh::: )
