    Bottled yesterday. My advice - get it fast. I've been on this brewery's bandwagon for a long time, but this blows me away. Went to the brewery with the expectation of getting Fair Maiden growlers, but after trying this in bottles I stocked up a bit. Juicy, resiny, and dank. Not sure how long it will stay this good, so get it now.

    I need this on tap

    Don't know why you would be on their bandwagon for a while. Fair Maiden is very good but a bit expensive at $10+. Will try Pieces Of Eight, but a big pricey at the same price. Everything else by them is meh.

    I don't think $10 for a bomber of top end beer is terrible, its pretty standard I feel like.

    HT four packs are a real bargain then. I would prefer $12- $15 for a four pack of 10 oz cans- do the math. I just paid $16 for 64 oz of a great DIPA, the price just doesn't compare.

    Everyone knows that Heady is a great deal, no argument there. But Pieces of 8 is certainly worth trying. Had it for the first time last night and it is a very good beer.

    I will try Pieces Of 8 as well, but if there is a higher priced IPA in the world at this point I would like to know what it is. I have to give Foley Brothers one thing, there stuff is available. But how much is a growler of Abner?

    I think I paid eight at the brewery for Pieces of Eight

    Heady is the beer world bargain - everything else will come up short.

    Dont know if you live near Foley Brothers, but it's in a beautiful setting and it's better on tap. Another bonus - no shitshow crowds.

    Did I see a large growler of Society and Solitude listed at $22 recently?

    I've held off buying any of Foley Bros IPAs based on what I've had of their other offerings & price tag (I have similar sentiments about Maine Beer Co), but had Pieces of 8 and was impressed. Wouldn't buy it if there is a similar offering at a much lower price point like Chimera or Tribute, but would agree that it's a tasty offering from Foley Bros .
    I actually recently panned Citrennial from Foley Brothers as well, but found out I think it is just something I'm getting from Citra hops these days. Anyway, tried it again this weekend since someone brought it to the house and still got green pepper, but was much tastier this go-round.

    I give MBC a break. Brattleboro Coop has week old bottles of Lunch for $5.99ish- nice treat actually. One of the few great things we get down here.
