    Anyone have an idea of current offerings available at the allagash factory retail store? I'm interested in bottles generally not available in regular bottle shops.
    Thanks

    There really isn't such a thing. They do their super limited releases (such as coolships) from time to time, but they're typically 'news' and they go very quick. Otherwise they just stock whatever is available in stores.

    Oh how I wish I lived nearby. Smith's in Springfield, MA had it on tap a few days ago. Amazing stuff.

    They have been known to drop some Researgum's off and on sportatically lately too. You could call them, they usually dont mind too much.

    Bought some Old HLT (4-bottle limit) on a Monday morning, about 2 weeks after the release. Various blends of Resurgams have popped up as well. Give them a call to see what's there, ans ask what the bottle limit is just in case.

    Why is Old HLT sitting around so long? Are the locals just tiring out on the whole limited release thing?

    I bought a couple Resurgams there last month really great drank 1 and traded the other for something Id really been wanting to try. Big fan of Allagash and the tour is good too.

    This.

    Old HLT was aged in the brewery's old hot liquor tank (hence the name, HLT) for two years, so I'm assuming they had at least 80BBL of this beer, which translates to at least 1000 cases. And it wasn't aged in barrels, so who really wants to buy it anyway? :wink:
