    There used to be a Boston area thread to tell people where beer is popping up. But just like to make a service announcement. I drive home from work down 146 into SE Mass. I am doing a little trade shopping

    JA BA Framinghammer and ABCS (little time on it but I hear still drinking well) at KJ Baron in Worcester

    B&C in Smithfield had Lunch 6.99. That was early last week, but they had about 5 left or so.

    B&C is a cool little shop. Are there older bottles intentional or have they been on shelf for 2 to 3 years. I actually saw some 668 and Sea Hag there over winter

    Ancient. In December my buddy bought a sixer of Sea Hag there without checking the dates and it was beyond stale. Absolutely disgusting. Same went for the Gandhi Bot he got. Total waste of $$$$. It was his bad for not paying attention to dates, but let his failure stand as a demonstration for how serious that store is about freshness (aka, not very serious).

    That store in Cumberland is rubbish. They are part of the small chain of horrid places peppered throughout northern RI/146 area (there's one in Woonsocket and one on Mineral Spring Ave.). They are good at selling lots of wine, overpriced bourbon and stale beer.

    I bought a bottle of 2010 Old Guardian and 2011 Odyssey from that placr over the winter. I am thinking they should be ok. Small place with very little sunlight and seemed to have A/C. We'll see how the kept when I get around to popping them

    I bought old bottles from B&C. Not Wines and More. I used to go to W & M for Foolproof and Grey Sail but no need now that they distro to Mass. I know W&M is no 100 rated store but still interesting to see what bottles linger there. Got some Frangelic Brown a while back well after release.
