    I'm totally fine with the 5 dollar price point. I bought 2 bottles of Kiwi Rising at Yankee in Attleboro. They had tons on the shelf. They also had Stoneface beers. I didn't even know they started distributing to Mass.

    Didn't they call it a "hoppy bock" or something like that?

    Just cracked open a Kiwi Rising and man, it is good. Just as good as I remember. My only question is why there's no date on the bottle. I obviously know it's fresh, but I'm quite surprised there's no date.

    I was going to ask the same thing. I checked other Jack's Abby bottles at the store that day to see if I was missing something. The other bottles (I forget which) had the bottling dates, but Kiwi Rising just had this long number printed on it that I couldn't decipher. I could have tried to figure it out, but as you said, you know it's fresh.

    Picked up KR bottles today. The last 6 digits stamped on the bottle indicated the MFG date: 110215.

    So yeah, they're pretty fresh.

    Heads up - the 3x dry-hopped (w/ Nelson) version of Kiwi is pouring at the beer hall now.

    Growlers too? Or just on-site?

    Sounds like on-site only, but I’m stopping by @ 6pm for a glass – can report back if growlers are available.

    Just went to the beer fridge and realized I forgot about a growler I picked up a few weeks ago. I better get on that tonight before it goes bad :wink:

    $4.75/bottle with no limits at Maximum in West Hartfford. Seemed to be a lot left there too. Great price for this beer IMO

    $3.99 at Julio's vs. $8.49 at Wegman's Northborough. That's quite a spread.
