    There doesn't seem to be much talk about this being available in MA starting in April

    Where did you see it's coming to Ma? 2 weeks ago on Twitter the head brewer said Chicagoland and OH...

    Nice avatar, also, I've only had it twice and both were trade extras despite also hearing rumors it was getting distro out here

    I traded for some with a regular trading partner. Love that stuff. I tweeted at them so I'll let you know what he says.

    Thanks!

    I've seen signs in several liquors stores throughout central MA and connections to the industry

    fantastic. there's another in cali who makes some - but I've been dying to try this. ct or ny too or just mass? worst case, I stock up on way back after any of the mass breweries.

    Woah!!! Really???
    1. Which abv ones?
    2. How available will this be?
    3. Is this a permanent thing, seasonal, or one time deal?

    This was one of my whales that I've always wanted to try, but have long since given up hopes of seeing it.

    It will be the 5.9%
    Starting beginning of April
    Pleanty of availability
    Available all year.
    Distributed by Atlas Dist. So central MA will have plenty of it.

    I had the 10% 2 years ago. So good and very dangerous!

    5.9% is contract brewed in Wisconsin... No where near as good as the 10% that is brewed in Wauconda, IL

    Did you come here just to taunt us? I've never had the 10%, but I've had the 5.9% and thought it was quite tasty.

    No, just to throw out a little info. Glad you guys are getting some. If you didn't I wouldn't mind shipping you guys out some

    Hopefully you guys get the 10% bombers at some point! It's much better than the 5.9%, which I found to have an odd after taste in six packs.

    How does anyone get the 10% bombers? I heard it got made in very small quantities. Was it distributed?
