    I went to Stars in Hingham last night to try the only keg of Parabola in the state. Just as I walked in a keg of Double Dose was kicked and was then replaced by Long Trail Limbo. Great beer night!

    Limbo is on tap at the Malted Barley in Westerly, RI, and it's very, very good. Comparisons to HT are way off the mark, IMO. It's a very tasty single IPA, though.

    I work for a distributor in ct who carries it. It will be on draft in December and in bottles in January. I tried it on Friday it is the great. I also tried a porter they will be coming out soon that was also great. I love that longtrail is getting back in the game. Except for the brewmaster series ( which are great) they have been pretty stale as a brewery. I am really happy they are going in the right direction.

    Now available in CT. Picked up a 6er at Harvest today. 11/26/13 bottled date, so the hop fade should not be too bad.

    It seemed rather fast to the shelf... made wonder, briefly, if was actually a 'best-by' date.

    My distributor did not have bottles in the building on Friday. We were told draft December 1st and bottles in January. It is possible the distributor in Hartford got it early in the bottle but I would be surprised. Breweries usually like To break with new items to the whole state not just to part of it.

    So if the bottles did not show up early, what do you think happened? Seems to have been in the area for a week now, as McLadden's has had it on tap (and still does) since last Sunday.

    No bottles here in upstate N.Y. yet....keg at the local bottle shop kicked in 3 days....one of my new favorite IPA's especially given the year round availability and price point.

    Yeah, picked some up yesterday at Behr's in Canton. Good stuff. Reminds me of Ithaca Flower Power.

    I think its an awesome beer. Super fruity and hoppy, my kind of IPA. Even better is its great value at $10.99/6 pk. Hands down the best Long Trail ive had, by far. Maybe its just me, but I think it will be one of my go-to IPAs going forward. You try it yet?
