    Very cool. This stuff is fantastic; I brought back 2 bottles when we were in VT over the summer (we also enjoyed one with dinner at Hen of the Wood). Highly recommended.

    That's cool news. Ive sitting on a Blend 1 (higher ABV) for awhile now. Hope I run into another bottle here locally soon.

    This is great for MA folks, and I know in general its a good thing. But its hard enough to track down a bottle in VT I selfishly wish they'd expanded distro within VT before going out of state.

    Agreed. Although they noted that it's a very limited amount coming to Massachusetts. My guess is that Craft Collective offered quite a bit to take a few cases of their hands.

    Easier in as much as that's where it's distributed. It doesn't sit on the shelf long. Looked for it at Brewfest Beverage in Ludlow a few weeks ago, they said it comes In early in the month and usually sells out within the week.

    wouldn't worry...looks like this is a one time thing. from their website:

    We are pleased to release a small number of bottles in the Boston area in Spring 2015. Due to our limited production, we plan to continue distributing exclusively in Vermont following this special release.

    Awesome spot and awesome beer. We stayed at the Hotel Vermont (the hotel connected to the restaurant). Might be the best hotel experience I've ever had. They even have an awesome beer concierge. Cannot wait to put the top down, drive up to Vermont on a sunny weekend, and enjoy Burlington again soon.

    I had a bottle at Hen of the Wood when I was in VT a few weeks ago too! Liked it so much I grabbed another bottle when I was at Three Penny Taproom a few days later and have since traded to nab a few bottles to drink at home. It was my favorite beer of the whole trip.

    Alright, Backacre fans, here it is. Today we delivered a very, very limited amount of Backacre Sour Golden Ale to:

    Row 34
    Lord Hobo
    The Publick House

    There is one more account that will get a very small delivery later this week. We will post that information when it happens.

    If, when, and how these bottles are sold is entirely up to the accounts. Cheers!

    Curious if anybody has bought a bottle at either of the Boston bars they were distributed to. What was the price point?

    It's $16 where I've bought it at the store. No idea for restaurants/bars in VT though.
