    Its an elderly barrel walking with a cane while wearing the groucho glasses from the Stout Trooper bottle. The previous BA was simply a picture of a barrel, so it seems to be keeping with the theme they have started and I don't really see how they would have portrayed that better graphically with any kind of helmet graphic.

    The label makes total sense to me (and I love it) its the absence of the actual word "trooper" that's confusing me. I know lots of beers do this (Kate the Great being labeled as just "Imperial Stout") but I was just a bit mystified as to why they ditched that part of the name this year.

    Yesterday afternoon they had Sea Hag and Wet Willy, with Fuzzy Baby Ducks listed as "coming soon" - but that definitely won't be on until some time next week.

    And seems to be a good chance that atleast 2 more magical beers will be added to this tap list in the near future!

    Hmmmm........:wink:

    Yeah, for sure. Talked to the guys yesterday. The 2 "Usual" casks will be on, and a hoppy 3rd.

    Looks like NEBCO just announced they're releasing BA IST tomorrow... can someone confirm? All I see is a cryptic "cat out of the bag" post on FB.

    I know this a big stretch, but if anyone is going and wants to grab some for me I would gladly pay/trade/give blood in return.
    I'm in Hartford but have family stuff to attend to all weekend.
    Obviously if there's a bottle limit then disregard this whole post.

    No limit seems like Bad News Bears waiting to happen.

    I love NEBCO, Rob and the entire crew. But doesn't it seem like every brewery thinks they have "plenty" of something until they get sold out within the first 2 hours of opening?
