    Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'll be picking up a few of the 2011 bottles during my next run.

    Anyone know what's on draft or if the tulip glasses are back in stock? Gonna swing by tommorow and grab a growler.

    What are these tulips that you speak of? Assuming you are referring to the 668 glasses?

    Speaking of the tulip glasses,the Gandhi-Bot version was next up,not sure if thats still the plan.Hope so.

    Probably a lil' out of your way,but this past weekend I picked up three 668 tulips at Wallingford Wine and Spirits for the awesome bargain-basement price of $1.99 each!

    Cheers

    I do mean the 668 glasses. I just realized my backup one has a crooked base and won't stand-up. I also need a second one for a BIF. Hmmmm, Wallingford is a hike but it might be my best bet.

    It's to my understanding that it really shines with a year or two on it.

    Can't speak to 1 year, but I had a 2 year old bottle maybe a month or so ago, and it seemed like it had aged just a bit too long, IMO.

    Disliked 2010 WW fresh. Loved 2011 that I had this month.

    Has or will canned GB from these recent batches escaped their immediate area? I'll be around Hartford/Manchester on Sat and will be passing through there on the way to New London in mid-December and would like to get a fix.

    Two years ago, I went to NEBC on a weekday with Miss Xanok, and I was able to get a 2008 Wet Willy. Its still in the basement. I hope my experience isn't consistent with yours.

    Hi guys, this will be my first Final Friday. Is there normally a bottle share associated with this? From what I've read online it seems like a loud crowded event. Is that an accurate description?

    Final Friday is confirmed on their facebook page.
