    I know this was launched at Craft Beer Cellar and at Meadhall already, but I was wondering if it has been seen anywhere south of Boston. I was at Yankee Spirits in Attleboro the other day, and they didn't have it. I also checked a couple of spots around Mansfield and Easton that normally have strong selections, but I struck out. I'm eager to try it--I'm a big fan of Sam Smith's Yorkshire Stingo. (By the way, shouldn't bottles of that start popping up soon too?)

    It was released for delivery Thursday. It got released to Craft Beer only on Tuesday and then given to the rest of us lowly stores a couple days later. It was not highly allocated so I assume a reliable bottle shop should get some this week or early next depending on their distributor delivery date. My store got three cases as compared to Love Child #2 where I could only get one.

    No kidding. I read that it was an August release this year. I suppose I'll have to open my eyes a little more. Where have you seen it?

    Most recently saw it at blanchards in west Roxbury, and Mucky's in Lakeville.

    Got one at Grain & Vine in Hyannis, and I'm sipping on it as we speak. What a fucking home run this beer is. Just a big malty treat....I'd love to know more about this one, especially where that little faint tartness is coming from.

    EDIT: Took 30 seconds of "research" to learn that a portion of the mash was soured. This beer is fucking killing me. Just, wow.

    EDIT EDIT: Plus, you factor in "Meadowlark" being one of the tastiest IPAs of ever, and Pretty Things is just on fire.

    Got two bottles. Plan to sit on one and drink the other this week. Looking forward to it. It certainly looks like Pretty Things is indeed on fire. I hope I like it as much as those who posted above.

    I thought it was actually very good. Usually not a fan on these types of brews either. Good price too! Good thing they are everywhere in MA!

    Both Lincoln liquors and Harrington's should get it sometime this week if they dont already have it. Give both a call.

    I checked Lincoln on Saturday, and they didn't have it, I was planning another trip later this week, as well as a trip to Harrington's. Thanks!

    Trubeer had it on their Web page, I'd call from 91 to see it it's still there.

    Anyone have a sense of how limited this is or how fast it's moving?

    I've been on vacation and won't be getting back home (Boston) until tomorrow and reading about this release is making me sweat bullets for fear it'll all be gone by the time I return.

    (And that, friends, is what we mean when we speak of "First World problems.")

    The store I got it at had it for like three or four days and then it was gone.
