    (old) News:

    "You guys like cans. A lot.

    ...we're pumped to announce we're changing the packaging format for all of our hop forward beers (and recently extended to some other styles too) from 750ml / 25.4oz bottles into 16oz cans!

    Batch sizes and case counts will go up as we get our legs under us.

    Cans will be available at both breweries, but please note we won't be able to split the cases evenly on the same day as packaging for logistical reasons (so fewer cases available in Boston vs Canton on day of packaging). Thanks on behalf of the whole trillium team for your support to help us achieve this incredible milestone."

    First two can releases in June (end of the month) were Congress Street and Melcher Street. Cans come in four packs but you can buy individual cans, if you like. Yes, the date is on the bottom.


    Trillium Can Spreadsheet:

    @jimmyfausto created this awesome spreadsheet. In his own words:

    I've been maintaining a spreadsheet for all Trillium can release information, including sell out times, hours/days available, and other notes. I know availability is a frequent topic here, especially for travelers and newbies, so I've made the google doc viewable by the below link. (Let me know if people have trouble accessing it)

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mmBOt3Bia-mo5gef5A7nENRkFSBx7NCVaSXbH9RYJ78/edit?usp=sharing

    All sell out information is from Trillium's social media, unless noted. There have been rare occasions where they didn't post sell out times for a few beers, in which case I guessed the hours.


    New Hours at Canton:

    "OUR NEW HOURS RESOLUTION It's a new year! Time for a Team Trillium resolution: make Canton more awesome. We've always felt like party poopers shouting "last call" every Friday night, so starting tomorrow (1/6) Canton will now be open until 10PM on Fridays & Saturdays! And EVERY Sunday from 12PM-5PM! Cheers to more beer, more food trucks, and more fun in 2017."

    Please note that LAST CALL is 30 minutes before closing! This applies to Canton site only.

    Reminder: Fort Point site does NOT offer any on premises drinking.

    Probably one of their top 3 beers for me, best of the wilds by far (again, to me). I was there shortly after 11 and place was empty. Surprised me given some of the recent soak sellouts which happened quickly, but I'll take it

    Also surprised at the lack of attention. Was actually just wondering a few days ago when we'd start to see some of the original farmhouses pop up again.

    Love all of the Stonington's and Faux Foune is no exception. I actually still have a B2 bottle and might do a side by side.

    If Red Stonington is any indicator this won't disappoint.

    Not a sour guy so I actually didn't even realize they dropped this

    Not directed at you, just surprised that no one mentioned it. It’s been a big deal release in the past.

    It's hilarious how silent AS chatter is. This is their best sour beer imo

    on a similar note, the TH thread is getting 10X the views as Trillium. I don't think there is that much difference in quality

    It's all about perceived hype. Trillium is far too accessible to be cool these days

    Exactly. I get my Treehouse via trades and I live in the state. No interested in spending an entire day to acquire beer when I can walk into Canton and be home in 20mins.

    For sure not. There are plenty of Trillium beers as good as their Tree House counterparts. (And I'd go as far as saying better, in the case of Fort Point/Small Birds vs Lights On.)

    Why would anyone bother talking about an excellent fruited wild ale when another local brewery might have some IPAs for sale?

    Stonington is that good, eh? Guess it's time for another trip to Canton... I had just about killed off my cans at home.

    Had some BA TrillBOMB on tap, and not sure if its the BCBS that is swaying my pallet, but did not taste much barrel on it at all. Well, it was either that or the green pepper taste just completely masking any barrel. I loved TrillBOMB originally, so might have to give it a second chance and go back for another taste.

    Fireplace Bananas was exceeded expectations though. Kicking myself for not pulling the trigger and buying bottles of that Chiquita chocolate.

    So Good! It's not often I get completely surprised by beer anymore. Just confounding...there were bananas, there was chocoloate, there was smoke, there was malt...and it all tasted so well together. Maybe the thickest beer I've ever consumed. They need to get that ice cream truck out there to make something with it while we wait for the rum barrel aged version(fingers crossed). I would actually brave a cellar sunday if they ever release this again.

    I didn't get the green pepper taste in my pour of BA TrillBOMB, but I agree it was very light on the barrel. And this was before I'd had any 2017 BCBS.
