    The Dunkel on right now is also tasting fantastic. Nice to try it next to Fire Walk with Me too.

    Just kidding, no Cerne here yet. Apparently they canned this for distro.

    Got my case of Polotmavy. Hope they don't wait another couple years to can this again. This is my favorite beer.

    Is the State Park beer can conditioning or something? Or available there? I saw they canned it nine days ago. Still waiting to grab Cerne in cans. AFAIK, still hasn't landed at the taprooms, must be an exclusive deal with whoever does their distro.

    I think I recall hearing at the taproom that all the canned Cerne went to distro.

    Just picked up a 4pk canned on Nov 25th at Provisions Wine in Amherst. Notch sees distro on this side of the state through Homegrown.

    Looks like cans of Zwickel and Cerne Spezial (a higher ABV version of Cerne) are landing this Friday.

    Welcome news! Still haven't been able to find regular Cerne in cans anywhere at the usual spots in Salem, Beverly, or Danvers.

    Likewise, yet to see it around Boston/Newton. Getting antsy!

    I found Pitch Lined Pils on draft at Hobgoblin in Boston. Tasting pretty much like I remember. Is this a new batch?

    Huh? Thought that was only Stichfass in previous years?

    Also on draft at Alamo Drafthouse and tasted pretty legit. I meant to ask around here for it last week if it was the real deal.

    What a random place for it to show up. Chain movie theatre doesn’t exactly match up with Notch. But, these could be ancient kegs the distributor lost and a chain is the best place for it

    I had a 9 month old Standard I left at my parents house and it was hazy as anything. The pour at Alamo was crystal clear, so I doubt it was an old keg? I've honestly been so confused the whole time.

    Hi all,

    Pitch Lined Pils has not been produced since 2022, and has never been sent into the wild. Not sure how the beer has been listed as such at accounts, but we will follow up. Most like this is our Notch Pils (formerly known as Session Pils).

    Pitch Lined Pils will return in 2024, as we have sourced new beer barrels and pitch from Munich's oldest (and last) cooper. This will allow us to increase the pitch lined beer production by 10 times of what we were able to produce in the past, but it will always remain a tap room only beer, unless we bleed out a few stichfass to accounts.
