    Thank you for the answers. Sorry about the confusion. I saw Weird & Gilly in the store and once I read the start of your post I started a reply question without seeing the DDH SSMS mention.

    Curious to give the WG a try this weekend.

    Forgot about this but you're definitely correct - unfortunately it seems to me like it is a seasonal that only gets brewed in the fall. But Mo' Shuggie is definitely right there with W&G as my two favorite brews from Singlecut.

    Had ITTRL the other night and DDH SSMS tonight. Both were nice and fruity with that signature Singlecut resin-y finish.

    I just had a taster of the DDH ITTRL yesterday and I thought it was incredible. Wish they had distribution into NJ for SingleCut. I have friends that live 150 miles away in Saratoga that can get SingleCut with much more ease than I can even though Im about 135 miles closer to the brewery.

    @yossle , @PapasDelicateCondition

    Have to follow up after having the can of Weird & Gilly last night. Huge nose immediate upon opening and straddles a great balance between being juicy without the overwhelming creamy mouth feel that many brewers produce today. Also loved the resiny flavor that wasn't heavy. All in all, will be in search for more of this in NJ. Thanks to you guys for the advice to try.

    @JosephThompson So I guess SingleCut can be found in NJ. I read earlier that a few people found it in Ramsey, Fairview and Jersey City. Do you know of any other locations in the northeast Jersey area?

    Unfortunately, I can't help in that area. I'm in Monmouth and found it at a Wegmans grocery market.

    Think they've been in NJ for about a month and last week was first I saw it in my area. So, perhaps we can all hope that as they roll out the distribution it starts to spread it's availability footprint.

    Stopped by SC this weekend. Brett Kim is like straight juice with just a small note of Brett. It's an assault on the senses in the best way. My cans of W+G and ddhSSMS are stunningly good, like 'glad-I-skipped-OH' good. And honestly the star of the show was the New World Lager (37th street or something like that). A-ma-zing.

    DDH SSMS, W&G, Jenny Said and Mo' Shuggie are as good as anything out their IMO.

    Mo Shuggie was one of the first beers I ever 5-starred on Untapped. Came across it totally by accident somewhere in Manhattan. That was a beautiful experience!

    Hudson Valley folk-
    The Singlecut crew will be tapping 日本から来たネコ (some cat from japan): the kitten version of Weird & Gilly, along with some other dope-ass beers at Draught on Friday. I'm sure many cans and bottles will be poured, too.

    Honestly I thought Mo' Shuggie is one of their weaker beers. My favorites are Softly Spoken, Jenny Said, Strange Shadows From The Flames (super underrated), Workers Are Going Home, and Is This The Real Life.

    Anyone know what cans are left at the brewery? BeerMenus says Half Stack, SSMS, and W & G but it hasn't been updated since the 6th.

    Their website says just DDH SSMS.

    I think they posted on IG on...Sunday I think, that they had cans of SSMS and W&G.
