    from several indications IST was supposed to hit stores "late last week" (roughly 12/19). Anybody actually seen any yet? I am particularly looking in Fairfield County.

    Being hand delivered this week. New haven should be getting there's today. Other areas are when the sales rep drops em. Very small amount being delivered this week. The following week or 2 more will be delivered.

    Thanks ... I know it's usually not impossible to find, but have a friend and his family passing through town on Tuesday night on their way home for the Holiday and wanted to check if I should bother searching for him. Sounds like he will miss out.

    Thanks for this, you just saved me a couple of trips. You didn't happen to see any GBot at any of those spots did you?

    Not today and not ever. I've just accepted that either bot is extremely rare in NH county or I am bad at hunting for it.

    I should be getting a log of it for Ordinary in New Haven, though honestly I might just keep it in the cooler and age it some....decisions decisions....

    Agreed, I don't think it ages super well.

    I was able to get one bottle at a store in NH where the owner held it for me ($10), but this truck chasing stuff is getting silly.

    BA bottles available at the brewery today. Limit 4, $10 each in 375 ml bottles.

    I have a couple calls for work in the afternoon, but I'm heading to Coalhouse for the tap takeover tonight. If anyone can make it to grab a few BA bottles, shoot me a PM! Maybe we can meet up at Coalhouse.

    Anyone care to venture a guess of chances that BA bottles last until tomorrow?

    That's what I figured. NEBCo is getting very good at releasing stuff the day before I can get there.
