    Acton Wine and Spirit and Pepperell Beverage are worth checking out at some point. Groton Market is the closest and best option though.

    Fire skulls and money is another stellar beer, but the price per ounce remorse remains- At this point, I think I have had all the TG beers available in MA, and King Sue is the only one that beats regular offerings from Tree House and Trillium. It is basically the same, albeit untested opinion I had a year ago- now I know. At this point, I am just going to wait for King Sue 4 packs and hope that Hopsmack makes it into 4 packs as well-those were my two favorites.

    Pseudo Sue, Golden Nugget and Dorothy cans are all over the place. As for limited releases in bombers, the latest drop we've seen are Fire Skulls and Money and DDH Pseudo Sue

    But you're going to pay $14-15 for those bombers of those specialty releases.

    I hope that those beers see cans. Even though I haven't had them, I'm not paying a premium to try those specialty beers. I do still have to try GN and Dorothy, but I've been sucking on that Pseudo Sue teat more frequently than anything else on the market recently.

    End of this month Atlantic will be receiving them, depending on their turnaround of getting them into their system, Id say first week of July

    No idea, but I also known I haven't ever heard of that store on here. If you're in Natick check out Total Wine. I'm guessing they'll blow Natick Wine & Spirits away

    Natick Wine and Spirits is right near JA and Exh A. They upped their beer game a year or 2 ago. Haven't been in a while, though. What's funny is that they have a terrible wine selection so their name is misleading.

    Yeah, I haven't been in that store in years. Kind of sucks to go big box over locally owned, but Total Wine does have a nifty search tool on their website that is always spot on.

    For other locally owned in the area, Framingham Liquors has a good selection, just need to check dates. Also Bacon's opened up a location further toward Ashland on 135. I went one of their first few days and the selection was decent but a bit sparse. Need to get back there soon.

    Check Gordon's on Main street. Next town over in Newton, check out Dion's in Nonantum or the Craft Beer Cellar in Newtonville.

    King Sue 4-pack price point @ TG: $19.

    Maybe. Maybe not. Any ideas how much Psuedo Sue is at the brewery? Somewhere like total wine should have it reasonably priced. They manage to sell night shift 4pks at $2-$3 less than the brewery which is 1/2 miles away

    PS is $12 @ TG Brewery (I've seen it in the $11 - 13 range in these parts, & have a place at I can get it for $62.99/case near me). I'm told that the brewery intentionally keeps their price points higher, so as to not hurt local stores.
