lawson's/focal banger/maine Distro

SoS: weekly and plentiful-ish in VT, every other week and scarce in CT, $15/4
Focal: semi-frequently at bars in VT (Stowe/Burlington areas only), $7 can
Maine: Plentiful everywhere in New England, somewhat harder to find Lunch and Another One but their pales are still good and are everywhere, $6-$8 16.9oz bottles

 

SoS is now every 3 weeks in CT
Super Session can in CT just started this week (assumption is every 3 weeks on that but nothing has been said yet)

 

dinner comes every 3 months only at the brewery and usually is gone in a day or two last was June so figure Sept for the next one

 

Dinner is brewery only, maybe 3 times a year. maybe twice

 

Seems like you have pretty much all the info you are looking for, but to elaborate:

SOS:
Distro in VT and CT. There is a batch of cans that goes out roughly every 3 weeks. To the best of my knowledge the ~1200 cases they produced get split up in 3rds between Northern VT, northern CT and southern CT. The whole allotment for CT gets distro pretty much all at once, and gets scooped up very quickly. It is usually gone the same day it drops, usually a 1 4 pack limit and stores hide it in back. VT distro splits it up so they can put it on the shelves every week, it seems like it is a little more available in VT, but a lot less available compared to heady. It should be around $13 a 4 pack. CT stores are known to price gouge and sell single cans as high as $5 a piece

Focal banger:
This was only sold at previuos pop-up truck sales, and most recently a release party for new can artwork last march. Since then it has been only available at bars and restaraunts, supposedly there was a few instances it was sold at a few select stores for charity. When the new alchemist brewery is up and running focal should be about as easy to get as heady. Hopefully early 2016? Cases were $75 at truck sales, so $12.50 a 4 pack.

MBC:
Pretty available, very wide distro compared to these other beers. Dinner is a brewery only release, 4 times a year. There was a release late june so that means it will be another ~3 months before we see another batch. Lunch is harder to come by the farther away from maine you are. Another one seems to be a little more available. Both of these beers fly off the shelf in MA and CT, and they don't come around to often. A little pricey at around $7 a bottle.

 

SOS hits Northern Vt every week, in the summer it sells out in hours. In the winter it may stick around until the end of delivery day or the next morning.

 

I was at MBC the other day and was told by a staff member that Dinner is on the brew schedule 4 times in 2015, and is released roughly quarterly. Next release is in October.

 

Posts like this are why we need regional stickies. Absolutely absurd that they aren't allowed.

 

Is Super Session 2 a VT only beer? Or does CT get any? I saw 12 pack boxes. I am guessing it's made and packaged at Two Roads.

 

CT also, cans just showed up for the first time on monday

 

Wide distro? Pricing?

 

Same distro as SoS; 12.99 a six pack at most stores.
