    I heard they were coming here, but haven't seen any yet (Hartford county). Anyone spot anything in the area?

    Why would they come intp a new market with an already 3 month old IPA?Bottled 9/18. Is this on the brewery or distributor? With how competitive it is with shelf space these days, if i bought flagraiser for the first time at four five or six months i may not buy it again. Seems u would want the freshest product on the shelf in a new market.

    The 4pks that started showing up in Eastern Mass in the last few weeks are from around the same time, either late September or early October. Aside from when a beer is first released, I haven't seen a bottle of any Slumbrew beer that was dated inside of 4-6 weeks.

    It's too bad because somebody pick that up for the first time they're not going to get a real experience. They won't pick it up again and the brand will fail. Strange.
