Focal banger

Well, good for them if they can drive from out of state with one day notice for a 1pm release on a Monday. I can't imagine the majority went to them but I wasn't there so no idea...

 

Nothing to add here but to point out how amused I am at a New Englander saying something's "out of state" when it would take like four NE states to equal the size of one normal state.

 

Considering NE are some of the original states, I think you got that one backwards.

 

I wouldn't take it personal. My wife and I were in vt by total chance until the Monday it was released and went to barre to buy some. Not everybody is a beer trader and I know there were plenty of locals buying that day. I have no interest in trading beer. I homebrew and much prefer trying and buying out of market beers when I actually go to visit a place. Makes it more fun for me. My friend has been hounding me to trade focal for this and that and we bought it to enjoy ourselves this summer and share with friends and family.
