    Since the '11 aged so well there's no way I want to miss the '15 release. Anyone know when it'll be around eastern MA?

    No clue on Mass, but its hitting Maine on Tuesday. I imagine you guys down South can't be much longer after that.

    It should be hitting RI some time this week so I'd have to assume that Mass should be getting it this week too.

    It hit some stores in Maine last week. I picked up a bottle at Bootleggers in Topsham on Friday.

    Picked up a bottle locally yesterday for $17.99. Would love to see this hit some draft locations as well.

    Picked up bottle today at Kay's wines ,$15.99. Looks interesting, even though I'm not a huge fan of this style..

    This is one of the few releases I've seen in NH before MA. I grabbed a couple of bottles in Derry NH today (The Drinkery). It sounds like it hit ME before NH. Seems all ass backwards than the usual releases.

    Looks like this has started to hit Boston. I was able to get one bottle today but that store only got a handful and is already sold out.

    Can it be assumed if you're not pumped about Rubeaus that Blushing Monk won't do it for you? I always thought BM was a wild ale. I've never been in to straight up fruit beers minus wild yeast. What are people's first thoughts on the beer who haven't had it before?

    Fresh it's an amped Rubaeus, so it's safe to say that if you don't like Rubaeus you will not like BM. Have the 2011 batch now, though, and it's a completely different game. The sweetness faded and the tartness shines.
