Is current Thomas Hardy's Ale available on the East Coast?

I see it occasionally in central Jersey - but not sure what vintage(s). The black label of the Golden Edition 50th Anniversary (2018) will usually catch my eye.

Current importer is:
MHW, Ltd.
1129 Northern Blvd
Suite 312
Manhasset, NY 11030.
Phone: 516-869-9170

...but as you'll see, their primary business is not beer importing, and their website is decidedly not "consumer friendly" as far as linking to their distributors or maintaining a "Beer Finder" page, etc.

It is also a company that is both an importer and, in certain states, has a wholesale distributor license:
Wholesaler – NY, NJ, CA, FL
(which might explain why I see it).

 

It's available in and around northern MD and southeastern PA. Seems to come in waves every few months. I think most stores don't order it because it sells very slow in comparison to hype IPAs and stouts.

 

Stateline Liquors in Elkton MD lists the 50th Anniversary edition as being in stock on their website

 

They definitely have a big import section, I've stocked up on JW Lees Harvest Ale there before.

 

I doubt there is a "current" one available in the US at all. I haven't seen anything more recent than 2018, and the beer's website doesn't have anything past 2018. I wonder if the brand is more or less dead again. But you probably mean current as in 2014 and later, in which case I've only ever been able to find various versions from the 2017-2018 window. Those came to NY but spotting one was quite rare.

 

Based on your later posts, I thought that was the case, but since your initial post talked about media activity and awareness over the last two years, I thought I’d broaden the conversation. Good luck.
