Beer shop finds.

Stopped by the Gordon's in Watertown today, left with a four pack of Pseudo Sue and two bottles of Sucaba. Still some of both hanging around.

 

This is unreal. To go from ~$22 for a 25oz bottle of Curieux to $17 for 48oz is a wonderful development. I haven’t had this beer in a few years but the new format is an easy reason to revisit.

 

And you’ll be wonderfully surprised. I’ve always claimed love for the beer, but at the steep price tag probably let a few years elapse in between tasting. A friend brought a bottle over this winter (two actually) and it was an incredible revisit of a beer.

 

Barrier cans popping up again. Grabbed Legal Tender (IPA collab with Finback) and Heavy Is the Crown (IPA collab with LIC) at CBC Newton. Really liked the stuff of theirs I had around EBF. Eager to try these.

 

Just grabbed both Double and Triple Sunshine at the Warren Store. Brings me back.

 

Liquor Junction in Winchester has Goody Two Shoes for $9.99 which is the lowest price I've ever seen for them. Seemed to be two batches, some dated 2/28 and some dated 3/28.

They also had Pseudo Sue and Pompeii dated mid March. I enjoyed the Pseudo Sue I had last time, but they lost a sale on Pompeii because they don't put the ABV on the box and I was headed somewhere where I didn't want to drink too much.

They also had a bunch of Springdale IPAs dated last week and all the JA 12 packs were on sale for $12.99.

 

I was excited to see Bouket (De Proef + Trillium collab) back on the shelf at Social Wine in South Boston. I'm assuming it's a new batch. Love this beer.

 

I had a great VT beer day yesterday that was made all the better by it starting with walking into Hunger Mountain and seeing Triple Sunshine on the shelf. Nostalgia is overplayed these days but to me there was no more fun time in beer than the Waitsfield farmer's markets and Alchemist truck sales. Really can't wait for Lawson's proper location to open.

 

I just check Beeradvocate for the ABV.

But I hear ya, no ABV on the boxes (and bottles too if I recall?). What is this, 2008?

 

I'm one of those increasingly rare people who doesn't carry their phone everywhere, so I'm sometimes at the mercy of the world in front of me

 

Stopped at Rapid in Stoneham this am. Prairie Bomb, Noir, Pirate Noir, and Paradise sitting on the shelf. One bottle of each per person.

 

Not a HUGE score, but Harkey's in Millis has about a case and a half of Pseudo Sue, about half a case of Proclamation Tendril, and a couple of 4-packs of the Finback / Alvarado street collaboration.

 

Anyone seen Boulevard Grand Cru around? Redstone tweeted that they got it in a week or so ago, but was hoping for a store closer to Boston and that sold singles.

 

How is Pseudo Sue? Debating picking some up when I was in there the other day.

 

100% worth the money. $12.99 for a world class pale ale.

 

Our beer finder is showing that quite a few spots in the Boston area received shipments of Grand Cru. https://www.boulevard.com/beer/beer-finder/

 

Total wine Everett now has cases of KBS on the floor and cases of Nugget Nectar 6pks reduced for quick sale.

Seems the beer world has moved on

 

But, how do you purchase beer if you don't know the ratings!?

Amended your post slightly in order to predict the future...

 

Does Bell get MA distribution now? That would be news to me

 

Not yet. Soon, here: https://www.beeradvocate.com/commun...ing-to-ne-nj-this-summer.567477/#post-5970653

It was his prediction of what will happen once they do arrive.
