    Out of curiosity, did you open a growler of GM recently?

    Nope, last time I had was in Nov '15. So my comparison was based on a nearly 3 year old memory.

    In Sept of '15 I did have a growler that was filled in Nov '14. Didn't fall off all that much. Was still amazing.

    I think Nov '15 was the last release. If there are any unopened growlers, I'd be super curious to how they are drinking.

    That question was serious?

    If you still have an unopened growler of any beer older than a month or two, you should be ashamed

    Was there a MD tapping at Row 34 too? Has that happened? I could swear there was one upcoming in addition to The Merchant.

    I did yes. Actually walked by Gordon's Liquors in downtown Boston yesterday and they still had five 4-packs, so perhaps the hype is dying down a bit. This batch was significantly better than the last batch of cans, which I personally found to be very bitter and underwhelming.

    Attended this tonight. Got there around 7 15 no line and easy to get a pour. I think it was 5oz for about $10.50. Went to go order a 2nd pour and was told I could only have the 1. Would have been nice if they mentioned it was 1 per person on the event page somewhere. Beer was delicious and got better as it warmed. Not sure i would have made the trek knowing i could only have 5 ounces though.

    Left around 8 30 and it was still pouring (i saw them pour maybe 5 glasses between 8 and 8 45). Them limiting customers per 1 pour may help those that couldnt make it earlier tonight.

    They are doing an event tomorrow at 6pm at the Tip Tap room as well.

    Cheers!

    Stopped chasing this stuff a while ago, but had to pull the trigger when I saw Fire, Skulls, & Money @ Luke's in Rockland today (canned-on date 10/25). Have seen some Pseudo around with canned-on dates of 5/18.

    I’ve recently purchased FSM as well because it was the only remotely fresh TG option.

    Have to say, super enjoyable beer. Reminds me of what Tr***ium used to drink like
