    Also a Mass native here... But when I left there was no Tree House or Trillium, Sam Adams and Harpoon were about it. Killed me that all the best beers were coming from there after I moved, I'm thankful BI filled that gap!

    I wasn't familiar with Bearded Iris but I had Scatterbrain on tap in Kentucky the other day. Fantastic beer. Not available in Illinois where I'm at, but hopefully I'll find more during my visits to Kentucky.

    BI in a dubious neighborhood? Germantown? Ok, that's a weird comment or I'm just not sensitive to these things after living in Detroit and Atlanta.

    Double Homestyle DDH w/ Galaxy is delicious, better than regular Double Homestyle methinks.

    The DDH homestyle was awesome. We went on Friday. Fantastic stuff

    Curious to see what the Nashville market thinks of the saison being released tomorrow. This may end up being my go to beer for sitting out on the patio and watching football in this amazing fall weather.

    Jigsaw has been my favorite IPA I have had from them (I have had Red handed, scatterbrain, double scatterbrain, homestyle, double homestyle, chief of chiefs, ddh c of c, attention please and galaxy dh attention please). Chief of chiefs and attention please are a close second and third. Homestyle and double homestyle are probably my least favorites of what I have had. Also bottle rocket was so good.

    Question for the crowd:
    Heading to Nashville this Friday, and I was going to pick up a few 4 packs to drink over the weekend. How much do the typical 4 packs run? $15 per? Wondering if it's worthwhile to ship some home too.
    As an aside, I work right near Aslin in Virginia, so wondering if BI beers are on par with Aslin.

    I believe they're usually $15 - $17 per, depending on the style.

    They're about on par with some Aslin stuff, behind on others. They've been cranking out a lot of DDH beers the last couple weeks that have been great. Looks like DDH Chief of Chiefs this Friday as well.

    Definitely picking up some DDH Chief of Chiefs since I'll be there Friday afternoon/evening.

    Crowlers are an option too for to go beer, Since they usually only have 1 or 2 can options. They cut you a break if you get 3.

    Had a whole bunch of recent BI releases and jigsaw was the best. Probably my favorite BI IPA to date with DDH Chief of Chiefs and Attention Please behind.

    Cardboard box made specifically for shipping cans. Think it can fit 12 16oz cans.

    I agree. Based on my extensive work travels I would extend to the entire west coast
