    (old) News:

    "You guys like cans. A lot.

    ...we're pumped to announce we're changing the packaging format for all of our hop forward beers (and recently extended to some other styles too) from 750ml / 25.4oz bottles into 16oz cans!

    Batch sizes and case counts will go up as we get our legs under us.

    Cans will be available at both breweries, but please note we won't be able to split the cases evenly on the same day as packaging for logistical reasons (so fewer cases available in Boston vs Canton on day of packaging). Thanks on behalf of the whole trillium team for your support to help us achieve this incredible milestone."

    First two can releases in June (end of the month) were Congress Street and Melcher Street. Cans come in four packs but you can buy individual cans, if you like. Yes, the date is on the bottom.


    Trillium Can Spreadsheet:

    @jimmyfausto created this awesome spreadsheet. In his own words:

    I've been maintaining a spreadsheet for all Trillium can release information, including sell out times, hours/days available, and other notes. I know availability is a frequent topic here, especially for travelers and newbies, so I've made the google doc viewable by the below link. (Let me know if people have trouble accessing it)

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mmBOt3Bia-mo5gef5A7nENRkFSBx7NCVaSXbH9RYJ78/edit?usp=sharing

    All sell out information is from Trillium's social media, unless noted. There have been rare occasions where they didn't post sell out times for a few beers, in which case I guessed the hours.


    New Hours at Canton:

    "OUR NEW HOURS RESOLUTION It's a new year! Time for a Team Trillium resolution: make Canton more awesome. We've always felt like party poopers shouting "last call" every Friday night, so starting tomorrow (1/6) Canton will now be open until 10PM on Fridays & Saturdays! And EVERY Sunday from 12PM-5PM! Cheers to more beer, more food trucks, and more fun in 2017."

    Please note that LAST CALL is 30 minutes before closing! This applies to Canton site only.

    Reminder: Fort Point site does NOT offer any on premises drinking.

    4th Anniversary Triple IPA too. Let the madness begin.

    $75 feels pretty steep for what you get. By comparison, the Cantillon Zwanze Day at Trillium ended up being $85 for 4 cantillon pours, a trillium pour, two glasses, pizza, ice cream, and a charitable donation.

    I realize Trillium can charge whatever they wish for events like these and they will sell out immediately. And if you add up the individual cost of the items it's probably close to retail. But my one wish is that they'd offer a companion ticket at a lower price that doesn't include the swag. If I was to attend something like this it would most likely be with my wife, and we don't need four glasses and two totes. Not even the second 4-pk really. So if they offered a 1 for $75 or 2 for $110 or so I'd be more likely to try to buy tickets.

    I'm not familiar with what they've done for past anniversary parties: do their exclusive offerings (i.e. the Triple IPA this time around) become available the following day for regular retail?

    Yep, typically they have. I think Dialed In was an anniversary brew?

    Yeah, the 3rd anniversary IPA went on sale the day after the party. They released a few other special beers before the party too.

    $22 in on-site pours
    $20 in glassware
    And what will probably be a $30 4-pk of beer
    Also - the tour and whatever else they dole out.

    Easy pass.

    Will get growler fills of the TIPA on the Monday after and save myself $50

    I don't need totes or more glassware. IMO sort of not a great sounding deal for a few hours at the brewery

    I went last year, had an awesome time. Ill try again this year. People bitched about the price last year, they sold out in 1 min and Trillium gave a bit of extra swag.

    They should charge more. Price people out and really test the waters of where the price evens out with demand for goods of that cost. No one buying trillium beer is hard off. If they are, they are dumb and deserve to pay more or get priorities right.

    Yes, they should make their 4th-anniversary event accessible only to their wealthiest fans because craft beer is truly for life's winners.

    With all due respect, if we have to be "wealthy" to afford a $75 beer event...then we must living in a wrong country. A case of craft beer costs more than that these days. And by no means I consider $75 is chump change.
