    (old) News:

    "You guys like cans. A lot.

    ...we're pumped to announce we're changing the packaging format for all of our hop forward beers (and recently extended to some other styles too) from 750ml / 25.4oz bottles into 16oz cans!

    Batch sizes and case counts will go up as we get our legs under us.

    Cans will be available at both breweries, but please note we won't be able to split the cases evenly on the same day as packaging for logistical reasons (so fewer cases available in Boston vs Canton on day of packaging). Thanks on behalf of the whole trillium team for your support to help us achieve this incredible milestone."

    First two can releases in June (end of the month) were Congress Street and Melcher Street. Cans come in four packs but you can buy individual cans, if you like. Yes, the date is on the bottom.


    Trillium Can Spreadsheet:

    @jimmyfausto created this awesomespreadsheet. In his own words:

    I've been maintaining a spreadsheet for all Trillium can release information, including sell out times, hours/days available, and other notes. I know availability is a frequent topic here, especially for travelers and newbies, so I've made the google doc viewable by the below link. (Let me know if people have trouble accessing it)

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mmBOt3Bia-mo5gef5A7nENRkFSBx7NCVaSXbH9RYJ78/edit?usp=sharing

    All sell out information is from Trillium's social media, unless noted. There have been rare occasions where they didn't post sell out times for a few beers, in which case I guessed the hours.


    New Hours at Canton:

    "OUR NEW HOURS RESOLUTION It's a new year! Time for a Team Trillium resolution: make Canton more awesome. We've always felt like party poopers shouting "last call" every Friday night, so starting tomorrow (1/6) Canton will now be open until 10PM on Fridays & Saturdays! And EVERY Sunday from 12PM-5PM! Cheers to more beer, more food trucks, and more fun in 2017."

    Please note that LAST CALL is 30 minutes before closing! This applies to Canton site only.

    Reminder: Fort Point site does NOT offer any on premises drinking.

    Is there a way to check quantities of the beer they have available?

    Headed to Boston from PA on Thursday afternoon and would like to grab some Congress Street as that may be one of the best representations of a Galaxy IPA I've ever had

    No way other than to check twitter. They do a great job of updating throughout the day.

    Look at the spreadsheet referenced in first post, you can see when beers were released and go back historically to see how long they typically last for.

    Closing to the public at least, the language makes it sound like they may still use Congress St. for production but I might be misreading

    My guess is Congress Street is down for good. Passed there about 6am Monday and there was some sort of fermenter (or part of one) that was on a flat bed and it looked like it was just being taken out via the loading dock. Someone from Trillium could confirm this.

    I don't work for trillium so I can't say for certain what their intentions are, but I can say that the production equipment that was back there has been removed

    I believe I heard in the past (can't find where now) that the old Fort Point location will be getting shutdown. It's redundant. The new spot is more than big enough for everything they need

    I'm unbelievably excited for the new Fort Point location. Sounds fantastic.

    Exchange Student anyone?

    DOPA/Hefe with Cloudwater.

    Don't know anything about the beer but it tastes like a dipa with hefe yeast. Has a juicy fruit taste wrapped in a neipa with a touch of bitterness.

    Ok.

    Yep-I think you nailed it. I enjoyed it, but was bummed that I paid 5.50 for a can of it.

    Yeah, it's fine. I like Cloudwater and the collaborations they've done over here. Each one I've tried had been ok, nothing great, nothing terrible. Just an interesting, not bad beer. I was gifted this one and as a gift it was grand. No chance I'd be paying $22 for a 4pk. I'm not doing that for any beer

    You would hate to see how much Cloudwater beer actually costs in the UK and EU... without any Trillium/collab hype built into the price...

    Heavy Mettle is probably my favorite Trillium IPA I've ever had

    Heavy Mettle is one of my favorites. Top 5. Grabbed a 4 pack yesterday.
