    was in the trading game for a couple years, and the only brewery that was remotely as good as what I traded out (TH/Trill/HF/Alchemist...the usuals) was Great Notion, and this was 3-4 years ago when I was getting crowlers back. fwiw. ymmv.

    redstone andover's allocation sold out an hour after posting, same with howe's in middleton

    Looks like Yankee Attleboro just got more, or perhaps their drop was delayed

    I've seen a few reports of a second drop, so they may continue to pop up.

    Underwhelmed is a good word for it. I'm glad I was able to grab singles.

    I had high hopes as the few stouts and sours I had tried from them in the past were very good. There are just too many IPA options on the shelf that are as good or better for the same price or less. Glad I got to tick, but I'll gladly pass them up next time.

    Either a 2nd drop or held back some inventory. They had some last week too.

    Did you guys get that info from someplace other than instagram? Saw the listing of beer stores that would have cans but didn't see anything on when. They also tagged Ginger Man and Publick House as having kegs but didn't see a date on those (1/30 for Lulu's, 1/31 for Tip Tap)

    Eager to see what the stouts are, tried a batch of their IPAs the last time around.

    Sounds like a breakfast buffet at a casino.

    Anyone know if those are lactose stouts? Quick search didn't yield much info.

    Does not appear so they usually list it or call it a milk stout

    Fort Point Market posted earlier on Instagram that they have Juice Invader, Breakfast of Leisure, and Double Fudge Coconut Brownie.

    Apparently fort point market got bought out pretty quick, someone mentioned they take Instagram reservations (although their insta hasn’t been active in years so I guess it’s Twitter)?

    $26 for a 12% stout that scores a 3.96 on here. That's like an F on the Beer Advocate scoring curve :grin:
