    I was in Stop n Shop today (Ridgefield) and wandered by the beer aisle. If I’m close, I always take a look. I grabbed 3 day old Supernaut (4/4 … today is 4/7).

    How amazingly lucky are we in CT to have Supernaut and Sea Hag so readily available? The Supernaut tasted fantastic (no surprise) while dyeing eggs tonight. It is great how far their production capacity has come.

    Both are excellent beers, widely available, and inexpensive. Face Hugger is excellent too. If I'm in CT for any reason, I find cans of NEBCO to take home.

    Grabbed some 3/14/23 dated G-Bot and Fuzzy Baby Ducks in MA last weekend. Both are tasting excellent, have not had either in years.

    I’ll never forget the Ghandi Bot saga. Most unexpected thing I’ve witnessed in Beer.

    Yeah, I’ve been loving it as well. Live close to a Stop and Shop, Hag and Naut go on sale for $9.99 at least twice a month. Always fresh. Total Wine Milford sells Sea Hag at $8.49 now.

    Wondering if Galaxy Pale ale is around the corner. I need.

    Hops for Heather WCIPA is outstanding. Brewery only-(Comet, Columbus, Simcoe)

    Ganja-Bot release 4/22! Terpene infused.

    Where in MA? I haven't seen SNEBCO in MA in years (I live in Plymouth)?

    I grabbed my sixer in Winchester, @Mikecap might be more relevant to you as he is near the RI border (but a Masshole now!). The 3/14 batch was the one I was able to get too.

    Yankee in Attleboro.

    They had the NEBCO, not sure about SNEBCO.

    I’m seeing NEBCO in Westchester County retail establishments a lot more often, as well. I’ve seen it in several DeCicco’s and at Scott’s Corner Market in the last few months.

    There have been a few drops here and there over the last month or so. I asked the guy at Just Better Beer in Norfolk if NEBCO was going to have regular or semi-regular MA availability, but he didn't know.

    I hope it's at least semi-regular. I have really enjoyed the cans of FBD. I feel strongly that if NEBCO had focused on getting out more Ducks vs some of their other beers, they could've at least had a solid footing in New England as far as being the default 6-7% IPA option at bars/restaurants, a space that I feel like Fiddlehead, Mighty Squirrel, and perhaps now Bissell are competing for. I still see Zombie Dust on draft at a lot of spots and I like FBD much more. We (at least in MA) have seen such an influx of distro, not just of national, but also New England brands from other states. It's nice to have this selection, but I'm interested to see how this competition plays out.

    If anyone is near the CT border, Connecticut Stop and Shop and Big Y generally stock fuzzy, sea hag, and supernaut (have not seen this lately?). I think fuzzy was $12.99 and sea hag is usually $9.99.

    Ugh now I wish I didn't have plans for tomorrow lol. I've been meaning to visit and I'm sure they'll have Gold Stock Ale, a pretty big want for me considering there's very few English IPAs these days and that one is rated #1 on BA

    The real travesty of the Ghandi Bot thing was when they changed over to the inferior Ghandi Bot glasses!
