    Never realized how good this beer is. Classic IPA no frills and a great price $12 to $14 a 12pack. Got mine for $12.99. More than satisfied. Been noticing my fresh Smutty in stores since new facility.

    If I see freshly canned Finest in CT, I'll be grabbing it in a heartbeat.

    It went through a rough patch when they were running at capacity at the old place, but it's regained its glory since they moved to new spot. No longer get floaties and its lost some of the intense bitter grapefruit flavor, but it's a more reliable beer then it was in the past. A staple in my weekly rotation.

    Their mixed 12 pack is one of the only I'll buy. They're always reliable and the prices are hard to beat.

    Six month out best by date - as an FYI. I have loved seeing the cans with an October date for now in Boston. Freshness was always the reason I hesitated to buy this one, but now it will be much more often. Having one right now - under $10 for a sixer where I shop.

    Finest Kind in cans?! Yes plese. This made me stoked.

    I have probably drank more Finest Kind than any other beer in my life.

    Finestkind cans went to Boston, NY., VT., NH., NJ., PA., and Fenway Park.

    Limited run as Iron Heart was brought in to package.

    My NH. trader was "kind" enough to include some cans in a box this week for me.
    Best by Oct. 16th which would mean canned 4/16......shout out to @T-RO !

    Hooray for Finestkind in cans !

    Cheers All....

    Also, the 12pks have a canned on date stamped/printed on the outside of the cardboard packaging.
    Beecause you can't see the best before dates printed on the bottom of the cans in the 12pks like you can for the 6pks.
    Yay Smutty! (Would like to see more breweries do this on "cardboard wrapped" 6 or 12pks)

    If I could find $12-14 twelve packs of FK in cans here in RI...I don't know that I'd drink anything else.

    They did canning runs of Finestkind on 4/2 and 4/16. I do hope another run... or four... are in the pipeline :rolling_eyes:

    Was very psyched to find those FK cans behind home plate at Fenway, though at $8 each I had to exercise some restraint :-) [​IMG]

    That's not bad for a six pack.
