    My wife had me run to the store in the morning yesterday to pick up some alcoholic necessities and, despite not drinking beer for the month, grabbed two Allagash 375's that I've been wanting to try: Together in Spirit and Windfall. Anyone have these yet?

    Might want to have the mods redo the title for this thread to 2021.

    My expectations for Windfall were very high given how much I enjoy their brett with fruit, and the malt bill could read "pie crust." Yet it was the only flawed Allagash I've ever had, definite THP, but bottle conditioning could solve it by now with additional three months.

    Yes, unless you're from NH or VT. I think they're just hoping everyone will do the right thing.

    Dang- I wish I could make the trip up! I wish they would mail some of this vintage stuff to Massachusetts. Oh well, I still have several Allagash bottles in the cellar.

    Did I miss the option to order online? How early are we lining up?

    Wait ... is there an order online thing like similar to the Mott the Lesser releases? Because that would be doooope.

    i'm digging Kurkuma, saison with turmeric.i've never really been a saison guy, but i've had this and a couple other things (non-allagash) lately that could be swaying my opinion.

    I didn't see one, wish there was. I think it's an all in person release but I've just become accustomed to ordering most of my beer online nowadays.

    I realize this is probably not on the list (if they even have vintage bottles) because it's not a wild ale, but I would totally violate travel restrictions for cellared bottles of Odyssey.

    I'm going to go to the store and grab a 4-pack of Starling, 4-pack of Kumara, and a 12-pack of White. There's nothing you can do to stop me.

    Update: Kurama and Golden Acre. No Starling at my local. The Allagash site says closest to me is Amesbury. BOOOO!
