    I was at Porter Sq Wine at 4pm and there were at least two four packs of Bible Belt in the cooler! I hope you found it!

    About 4 cases of CBS left at $26 with a 3 bottle limit

    Georgios in Billerica has it for $30 and Kappys on rt 1 has it for $25

    Dion's in Waltham receiving their allotment tomorrow, as well as Wegmans Burlington.

    Side note, shout out to Wegmans for selling CBS right at MSRP, $23 a bottle, versus some of the other package stores gouging the hell out of it. While they're a much larger entity and don't rely solely on alcohol sales, like most places who receive some of the more highly sought after beers, it's welcoming to see accurately priced bottles.

    They've got it. At the gouge-tastic price of $29.99 though...
    Wegmans is the best alcohol retailer in Massachusetts and it's not even close.

    Between BCBS and CBS, they flat out have the best prices. They also receive pretty sizeable allotments and know how to share the wealth.

    I've been checking but haven't seen anything...although it just seems Cambridge is getting it in stores today, so maybe this weekend?

    Wow, impressive, can't believe it lasted through the weekend.

    Thanks for the update, however I went there Saturday and had it. I didn't see it on the tap list and asked the bartender, "Do you still have..."

    And she completed my sentence, "Canadian Breakfast Stout?"

    I think I remember two other people next to me drinking it as well. That's why I'm surprised its lasted this long...seems popular enough!

    Trillium Motueka Fort Point at Lu Lu's, and then Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout on tap at Deep Ellum after made for a stellar night.

    Was in the new one on rt16 recently. Pretty poor selection of beers. Don't see any reason to go there when they don't carry the beers I want

    Founders will have it on @ Meadhall’s 12 Brewers of Christmas event on Dec. 14.

    I’d be shocked if it doesn’t eventually go up at Cambridge Common, and only slightly less shocked if Red Bones doesn’t get a keg.

    I’m usually always able to find some Night Shift Morph or One Hop, Jack’s Abby Post Shift or House Lager, Castle Island Hi Def, Allagash 4-packs, Sierra Nevada or Lagunitas 12-packs, plus they get the limited/barrel-aged stuff from Founders, Stone, Firestone Walker, Dogfish Head, Revolution, Weyerbacher, etc.

    Haven’t been to the one you mentioned though. Chestnut Hill is my local.

    Not sure if it was already mentioned but Whole Foods Legacy Place has CBS at $25 a bottle. You have to ask for it.

    Hmm, maybe I'll head to Meadhall that weekend and pick through leftovers.

    Not sure about Cambridge Common, but The Independent has had it on tap in the past.

    I'm not sure if you've been to Redbones recently, but for at least a year or two their tap list has been incredibly underwhelming and outdated. I'd be surprised if they DID get it.

    Five Horses is the likely pick in Davis Square to land a keg.

    Any update on Wegmans in Westwood as to whether they sold out or not?

    Turnpike Market in Billerica will be releasing it at 2 p.m. on Friday, 12/8. They've said more details to follow on their Facebook page. ... Not sure what other details are needed, but maybe they plan to announce case count, price, etc.

    I realized tonight, as good as the beer is, it's also the thrill of the chase.

    Salty Pig posted a pic of their keg on Instagram and hinted they will be tapping Wec or Thur this week
