    Probably the 600th time he answered that question. What a pain in the ass for everyone.

    Whole foods should get it around 2 as told by the beer guy on tuesday. Walsh liquors on washington st in brighton had 18 left as.of.last night. Call em.up and see if you can reserve one before you head out there.

    I totally get that, but I'm always treated pretty poorly by the guys who work there. The woman who works there was very nice to me, but my questions are always just brushed off. Kinda wine-snobby, I really hate to say.

    Yea, i feel bad calling 20 some odd stores to chase this stuff and all because the distribution schedule is differe t for each area.


    Also, redstone hasnt said anything about it yet, so im assuming another raffle is in order.

    I never got that impression from anyone in that store and I go twice or so a week. I was only able to procure 1 bottle of BA Framminghammer from them but Tom is a good guy and put it out on the fridge/called when they got it in because he knew I was asking about it

    You called Redstone? Did he say when its coming in? Rapid is one block over and they already got theirs

    Those in glass houses... you have no problem affording an expensive bottle of beer, but you have issue with the kind of people wjo [sic] frequent Newbury St.

    I would hate to hear what you think about the customers of beer stores in Newton/Brookline.

    Just a heads up, Charles Street Liquors has at least ten bottles of BA Framminghammer on their shelves.

    I was at Redstone last night and they said they were still deciding what to do. When it goes on sale it will be 1 per/1st come as mentioned above.

    Thanks for the heads up...maybe I'll stop by on my lunch. Do you know if they hold bottles? It would be much easier for me to pick them up after work around 7:30.

    Ive been focusing on stores closer to my house and I had.completely forgotten about Redstone until last night which is why I hadnt called them. Now Ill have to keep my eyes open, I wouldn't be surprised if they get it today and release it at 5 or 6 pm for those who work to have a chance. Hes done all kinds of different things for rare releases

    People from Newton shop at the attrium mall and newbury street do they not? I think that is somewhat of the point he was trying to get across.

    I walk down newbury street several times a week on my way home from work and it actually attracts all crowds, lots of hipsters with berkley right there...id even go as far to say that end of newbury is not that upscale...the other end by beacon hill though...

    and like i said, doing this blind (correct me if wrong and you actually had a friend pour the beers w/o your knowledge of which glass was which) is the only way to be 100% sure that you can tell the difference.

    That's a great store. Beer manager is super friendly.

    This is true. I only brought it up because the comment that suggested they were interchangeable was a bit too far. People love Jack's Abby (which I get because I'm one of those people) and really pull for them. Couple that with some sour grapes around the inability to nail down some KBS and I think you have the recipe for some hyperbole.
