    Sounds delicious. Is Idaho7 hard to come by? I don't see it featured often but have really enjoyed all of the beers I've had that include it. Just surprised it isn't more popular.

    Re-ordered a Sea Hag keg and the distributor sent back the same March 7th keg. So I sent it back to him. This could go on for a long time.

    I was at Total Wine in Milford today and they had a few Hag kegs from beginning of March and 2 kegs from May. They also have a log of IST.

    Hey @jaxon53 !! I finally did open the 2004 3 Judges tonight. It is great, I posted a review in the cellar reviews thread, but found this to be a lot of port wine brown sugar, and molasses. Still some warming booze on the swallow and completely still carbonation.
    But if you do have your bottle, Id be glad to help you empty it. If it is half as good as this one held up, I think it will be a real treat![​IMG]

    Supernaught Is tasting great. Just cracked my first can and probably almost a year.

    Drove right over the border to Thompson to grab some NEBCO today. Found a lil' liquor store that had two sixers of Sea Hag (from late February, but I'm ok with it), and grabbed a couple of 4-packs of late April G-Bot. It's my first time having Sea Hag since it stopped getting distributed in Massachusetts, and my first time having G-Bot period. Right off the bat this Sea Hag is hitting the spot.

    Sea Hag is a fine beer that I never had when it was available in MA. Had it down in CT a few years ago and loved it. I do know some Hag kegs found their way to some MA bars at some point near the beginning of the year.

    I'm in the same area for my CT border crossing.
    Can I ask what packy it was? Is it good for CT exclusives? Had you been to or heard about it before? Are there others you would recommend?
    I did a map/review search a couple of months back and nothing jumped out. I ended up hitting Liquor Wine Discount (best name ever?) in Tolland. It was fine. Nothing special. I grabbed some Headway before making headway.

    The last time I had it was 2011 (I think) at an outdoor bar in P-Town, and I've always had the memory of it, and it being another nice day in New England where I can drink outside it brought back those memories.

    Drive a little further south and hit North East Wine and Spirits in Brooklyn, usually plenty of fresh NEBCO...

    That's annoying. Sorry to hear that. What part of the state?

    We've been starting to ship kegs more regularly, so hopefully that's the end of the older stock. IST! I think that's the first time I've heard of a log out in the wild. I do have a feeling some other cool "out of the ordinary" logs may be hitting stores these next couples weeks as specialty draft has been shipping in kegs.

    Bethel / Danbury, ordered through Caraluzzi's Nutmeg Liquors, serviced by Star. I'm holding out hope that I get a fresh one with Fridays delivery.

    I'd love a heads up on some of the specialty stuff you are moving into distro, I'm a big customer and enjoy the hard to gets for my second tap. Having Fuzzy at home was awesome.

    @Gmr75
    I see Double Have is available. Is it only at the brewery or can I grab it closer to Milford?
    I feel like I don't see enough NEBCo I'm Milford.

    Was just thinking, that I haven't seen The Ocho brewed in some time, and that it'd be a prime candidate for one of these new canning runs. Went to NEBCO's website and its no longer listed under 'Our Beer' tab. @Gmr75 did it get retired?

    Looking at that list is reminding me we haven't seen baby bot too recently either. Would like to see some cans of that again sometime.

    Yes... Ocho was retired due to a very nice letter we got from ESPN. It may be returning with some small tweaks and a new name

    I love Baby Bot. It is on the production schedule soon, and will be coming out in cans soon after.

    I don't see an option to edit my post.
    I mean Double Hag above.

    @Gmr75 Anything I can look for in kegs through Star, Gary? Still haven’t gotten anything.

    Who's Gary? Send me another PM. I can prob figure out a special order for you until specialty draft becomes more of a regular thing.
