Narragansett Shandy!!!???

Is this a blind hate thread or any of you actually taste this thing? I just bought a six pack and am quite impressed. Not overly sweet or sour just right. 100 better than regular gansett. Will buy again.

 

Not at all, I would like to try it. Though, I won't be in RI until early August and assume it will be gone by then.

 

I hate to admit it but I thought it was pretty good. I would give it a good score for the style. Much better than the regular Dels Shandy. Still would only drink a few at a time because its so sweet.

 

Yep, RI only.

 

I'm in Bellingham, Ma near Woonsocket. Where could I buy this Black Cherry Shandy?

They sold out. I just want to try this stuff. AND MAKE AN OPINION!

 

Any info on this double chocolate porter? Release date? distro?

 

Choco porter is supposedly late August. Kind of odd timing for a dark beer, but maybe they want to get out in front of the rush of browns and porters that come out in fall.

 

Regular distro or RI only for the porter?

 

Cementing their core customers. The whole marketing plan is based on the RI identity.

 

Any beer that's presented as a special series is counting on folks to pay more for it because of that. At the same time, different ingredients from their core beers could contribute to higher prices.

 

By me (Portland, Maine) tallboys of lager are usually $5.69-6.69 range for six packs. Twelve packs of 12 ounce cans of lager are like $10. It's more or less priced about the same as Budweiser but is way better.

 

Seasonals/crafts tend to run in the $10 range for six tallboys.

 

I'd like to see them do a mix case of lager, summer and shandy because they're all basically summer beers.
