    To each his own - I bought four Heavy Mettles and four Double Dry Hopped Fort Points earlier in the summer and drank them in stages over the next month and a half - while still ok after a month - by the month and a half mark, the quality had gone considerably downhill. I prefer hoppy bottles and growlers from Trillium as close to the bottling date as possible.

    Anything heavily dry hopped should be drank quickly. But their standard stuff holds up well IMO. I've had a bunch of their beers on the release date that seemed a little more "green" than I'd like. A week or two later they taste much more palatable.

    Interesting thanks - my observations were definitely on the dry hopped beers so will consider this for others. Happy holidays! And like your avatar!

    Was in today, about 10th in line but somehow first one out with a fill of FPPA, 3 mettles, 2 congress st in about 4 minutes. Seemed like they had a good amount of bottle but mettle was flying out by the case once I went back with my cousin to get his bottles. The line went bezerker after us so hurry up in you need bottles.

    below is a current case count for everything (12 bottles per case, everything is 750ml unless * which are 375ml)
    about 1bbl of Trillium left for growler fills

    but we've got lots on deck...next packaging runs are scheduled as follows. we'll see bottles + draft for growler fills for each of these. depending on demand, not sure how much will get out to draft accounts and bottle shops, we'll have to game time it as we go.

    29th Monday - Heavy Mettle
    30th Tuesday - Fort Point Pale Ale, Galaxy dry hopped Fort Point Pale Ale
    2nd Friday - Melcher Street IPA, Congress Street IPA
    3rd Saturday - Double Dry Hopped Melcher Street IPA

    ...of course, this is the current plan and subject to change! best bet is to check in day of via twitter/FB to confirm

    thanks for everyone's support this past week. i can speak for the whole trillium team to let you know how truly unbelievable the turn out has been, not to mention the kind words shared with us.

    we'll hopefully have more (very) good news soon, too.

    Great to have you guys back up and running. PM Dawn was incredible. Nice addition to an already killer lineup of beers.

    So smooth a stop yesterday: hopped off the I-90 South Boston exit and got a spot on the first block before Row 34. Walked over to Trillium, no wait for bottles only. Grabbed a few Congress St, Mettle, and one each of Double P&K and Broken Angels. I was struggling with decisions since I thought there would be a few minute wait to examine my options!

    In and out in less than 5 minutes, overall a great trip as even with this stop my trip to Maine was just over 3 hours. Had the double p&k last night and wished I bought more bottles!

    Stopped by yesterday while visiting from Texas. Sad they're not doing samples as every time I've gone I've been told they wouldn't do samples (twice over the summer and yesterday) stopped me from buying more. Did get a pm dawn hope it's good! Heard great things

    Great to have them back. Great to get some bottles and pours. I did feel that mettle has started to change a bit as mine were bottles on 11/29/14. When I say this I felt that each bottle tasted a bit different and not as I remember it tasting when I've had it fresh. Overall still a great beer and very thankful

    I arrived at 11:50 and must've been 40 people deep. I was out by 12:10! Can't wait to crack a Heavy Mettle tonight.
