    Not sure, I'm not a big saison guy so I don't pay attention as much to their bottle availability.
    That is their beer with the most Untappd check-ins. Here on Beer Advocate, Lunaire has the most reviews/ratings.

    Hennepin.
    And if we're talking nation-wide, I'd add Dales Pale Ale, too.

    The only one I’ll add that I haven’t seen yet is Counter Weight Headway IPA (and their Workhorse Pilsner for that matter). I love those two core beers...

    I actually rarely buy anything but “core beers” from breweries, well, and seasonal core beers....

    They canceled NY distribution like a decade ago. That was a bummer.

    same here. Boston Lager is the beer that I go to if I’m somewhere without an exciting/reliable tap list.

    This is another totally unrelated topic, but I've found recently that I've been less interested in the beer list than ever before. It seems to be, even at regular old restaurants, to be pretty IPA heavy everywhere. I've found myself opting for wine a lot.

    Mine has got to be Shilling Alexandr right now. I have a keg of it at my house and I still order one if I see it on a beer menu when I’m out.

    Yeah. It really is a great beer that always hits the spot.

    Might go on Sam kick this fall.

    And even more unrelated, I’m sick of paying $8+ a “pint” when I’m out. If I see a Gansett or PBR on the list for $3, I’ve been ordering that lately.

    I haven't picked it up myself, but I have seen it a few times at Gasbarros in Attleboro. Not sure if the other locations have it seeing as Attleboro has the best beer selection

    That's interesting as I don't see many pale ales on the shelves these days. Honestly can't think of any as I write this, unless I'm suffering from a can't-see-the-forest-for-the-trees situation.
