    Yeah, I've asked the same question... Wonder if a distributor found a pallet sitting in the back of a warehouse or something. Little past its prime for me, IMO.

    I held a bottle from 2010 that turned out really nice. That said, I enjoyed the hell out of it while fresh too, so I can't say that I'll ever hold onto a bottle again.

    for some reason wet willy doesn't sell. it's so damn good though, and like people say, it only gets better with time.

    I recently picked up a bottle of 2010 Wet Willy at College W&S in downtown New Haven. Very good, but not as good as bottles from that vintage that I've cellared. While I'm always sad to see NEBCO goodness languishing on shelves, it is nice to be able to pick up more WW and Friar's Quad whenever I feel the urge.

    We're featuring New England Brewing at Prime 16 in New Haven next Thursday to celebrate CT Craft Beer Week. Of note will be a gravity cask of Supernaut IPA. Hope some of you can make it.

    Is this batch hitting Northeastern CT or just the New Haven area?

    I would imagine the whole state. NH county usually gets the least of it. It is definitely in NH county right now tho
