    Has anyone heard anything about IST yet for this year? Haven't seen any threads yet, and I thought it was about this time each year. Was hoping it would be out by this week for the release of The Force Awakens.

    From facebook:

    Quick update from the NEB crew. We will have slightly changed hours for the holiday week. We will be open Normal hours this weekend. Next week will be Tuesday the 22nd 3-7, Wednesday the 23rd 12-7, and on Christmas Eve 10am-2pm and will be closed the 25th -28th re-opening Tuesday the 29th 3-7.
    We are running a bit behind our normal Imperial Stout Trooper release schedule. We'll start sending out Imperial Stout Trooper cans, yup Cans! the last week of December and the first week of January. Additionally we're aiming to have growlers of IST and G-Bot available next week. G-Bot cans will also start going back out into CT the last week of December as well as the first week of January. We will do our best to have Bot much more readily available this coming year. Same exact beer, just a new-ish label. Thanks everyone for all your support!

    Saw this yesterday, amazing news. While I do love cans, I will miss the IST in bottles, and especially miss the Bot in 16 oz cans. Those were the best.

    I'm guessing 2010/2011? Sometime around there. 668 was also 4x16oz as well.

    16 oz. cans with large stick-on labels that covered most of the can. 2010 was the last time I recall buying the tallboys. Brought a 4-pack to Mohegan for my birthday weekend in July that year. We also invented PBRmagnac, which is exactly what it sounds like.

    I'm hoping that my sister-in-law will be able to pick a couple cans up for me since she lives in Norwich. But just in case, if any of you guys get extras and are interested in a trade, let me know. I'm a Star Wars geek also and was hoping that it was going to be out in time for the movie release this weekend.
