    I have to say, I was very impressed with Redstone releases on black Friday. I was able to pick up BCBS, CBS, new Lawsons, Jackie Os stouts (3 of them), and Hugged from Prairie. It was out when they said it would be, and minimal people rushing the shelves for them.
    Redstone does releases, imo, the most fair and even though they aren't the cheapest, they are one of the nicest as is the store itself.

    Does anyone know where I can get Sam Adams “Red Lager” in Boston? I know it was part of a can pack this fall. Draft or can is fine. Thanks!

    I was more surprised with how they stagger releases throughout the day. Wonder if anyone hung around the store for 6 hours to get their hands on all the beers they were hoping for

    You could just go to Tulips and drink your face off all day long in between releases.

    Port Brewing Santa's Little Helper is like Founders Breakfast Stout but better. And roastier.

    Do you know if these are still sitting in shops in MA? If so, I will try to trade for some since it doesn't reach CA. Thanks!

    Not sure how much was sent to stores but I’m sure there’s someone that stocked up and can help you out

    Saw Coolship Resurgam at Northborough Wegmans for 12.99. Fantastic value for an awesome brew

    That Duvel dry hopped with Citra is tasty stuff. Or, as they label it on the can, Duvel Single Fermented Belgian Golden Ale. Grabbed a 4-pack of 16 oz cans at the Burlington Wegmans for $11.99.

    Was that the black can?

    I wasn't a fan of it (and I love regular Duvel), tasted like the watered down draft version they had around here for awhile.

    Yep, black can. It was definitely lighter than regular Duvel, but with the lower ABV, I didn’t find it watery. Also, I’m a sucker for Belgians dry hopped with IPA hops, so this is right up my alley.

    Just grabbed 2 Oxbow Farmhouse Pale Ale 4pks at Fort Point Market. Never thought I'd type that sentence.

    Drinking one now. Better than anything I've had on draft.

    Saw some bottles of Coolship Resurgam at the Somerville Liquor Junction for 7.99, I wasn't gonna complain!

    What a deal since they've been around $15 at the brewery for years!
