Long Trail Limbo

$9.99 in Meredith, NH. Pretty good stuff, certainly more on par with Dirt Wolf, not Heady. Bottle date 12/4. I'd rather be drinking Sucks.

 

Limbo just hit Long Island. I first had it on tap in Waterbury and now in bottles. Really great beer. Tried to convince the guy working at the beer store to try some as he said "I don't like Long Trail stuff." Hope he and others give it a try.

 

Just found some in Swansea MA @ Yankee Spirits

 

Much thanks for the heads up - I was able to snag the last 6-pack (well, 5-pack, since it seems someone only wanted a single) this afternoon. It's excellent stuff, and while I've like a few Long Trail beers in the past, this is the first I've really loved.

 

I've had this & sucks within the last week and I'm not not sure which I prefer. I don't agree at all with it being described as malty

 

I am having this right now and it is amazing.

 

It is in the same IPA neighborhood as Sucks, Flower Power, Sculpin and Hoponious Union. A very nice neighborhood.

 

If you're in the greater Boston area check our Redstone liquors in Stoneham. They have had a decent supply for the past few weeks and are just an all around phenomenal beer/liquor store.

 

Prime 16 in New Haven has it on tap. they're open for lunch today.

 

Grabbed a 6 while in Burlington last week, i really like it. Hope it makes its way here into NY. Best Long Trail offering ive had for sure. Agree with others, if it becomes a regular in their lineup. It will be a aregular for me. Very good.

 

Crap! I should've looked for some of this when I was up in Waterbury last weekend. Totally forgot. Wonder if I can find it in NH.

 

Am sure it will be in Metro NYC area given it is already on Long Island.

 

Brought alot to an Xmas party last weekend & it disappeared quickly amongst some marginal craft drinkers who loved it. Big market for this beer throughout New England IMO if this is distributed regularly.

 

Granite Liquors in Weymouth had a couple extremely fresh cases when I stopped in this afternoon. Was really tempted to get some, but I still have 2 bottles left and figured the sixer of Sucks would suffice. I'm really liking this beer. If it's regularly distributed and stays pretty fresh I'll be buying a lot of it. Probably the best Long Trail beer I've had

 

Visited today. It was gone. Haha. Maybe I'm not meant to have this one. I did pick up a Dollnitzser Ritterguts Gose which I've never seen for that cheap before.
(very nice beer in case you've never had it) Almost pulled the trigger on a Mikkeller Black Fist, but grabbed a haul of more reasonably priced beer instead. Damn my thrifty nature.

 

The Long Trail/Otter Creek rep explained that the reason for current shortage is that Long Trail decided to short all out of state allocations because of the high popularity in VT. But they're planning to ship more beginning of January.

 

I saw some at Yankee Spirits in Attleboro on Monday, dated 12/16/13. Only grabbed one bottle but they had a decent amount, solid stuff!

 

ahhh sorry man! I'll be sure to give you a heads up next time I see it there.

 

looks like Mikkro in Hamden, CT. and Prim 16 Orange, CT. have it on tap NOW!!!

 

Best Long Trail offering I've had to date, but anyone putting Limbo up with Sucks, Dirtwolf, Gandhi-Bot, or Heady needs to have their head examined, IMO. Too malty for me as well, and seems like it either falls off very fast or has substantial bottle consistency issues - the first bottle of a 6pk I picked up a couple weeks ago was very good, but finishing the sixpack off early this week was noticeably worse. Nevertheless, I'll buy it once in a while, especially if it's $10 per 6pk.

For all of those saying "local, cheap, well made, hoppy IPA blah blah blah" - I will remind you that this already exists in Massachusetts, and it comes in 4pks of 16 oz cans for $11-$12. Wormtown Be Hoppy. Which, FWIW, blows Limbo out of the water (I'm a Galaxy fanboy, which Limbo has plenty of, and I still feel this way).
