    Is distribution state wide? Hoping to find around Springfield area or somewhere just over CT border. Google was not very helpful.

    No idea. I just want to point out that their 'oma' cheese is DELICIOUS.

    One of their beers definitely hit distribution around here for the first time in the past week or two.

    Seems like it's pretty widely available although I can't speak to western MA.

    The only places I've seen them so far has been various Craft Beer Cellars. It must be slowly going out

    Which ones have you all seen? The helles and the pils have both appeared at a couple of my neighborhood packies in Boston and I'll be buying more of both. I'm hoping to come across the dunkel and the Vienna as well. Nice stuff.

    Been seeing it around at all my usual stomping grounds (Craft Beer Cellars in MA as well as Pemberton Farms in Cambridge and Downtown Wine & Spirits in Davis Sq Somerville)... the helles is by far one of the best values in local, high-quality and traditional German-style lagers in the market right now. I hope they get the recognition they deserve soon.

    Plenty of mix packs at Ball Square Fine Wine last weekend. Great deal, and a great way to try a variety of their beers.

    Loved the Helles and the Dunkel, especially the Helles. The Vienna tasted too "Boston Lager"-like, and could have toned down the hops and been breadier (like Sierra Nevada's). And the Czech Pils (even though they acknowledge it in the description) was far too hoppy, and definitely lacked in malt presence.

    The Helles has been a regular in my fridge the past few weeks - great beer IMO & welcome addition for Lager lovers. Available @ a few different places in the 'burbs north of Boston.

    Thanks for all the comments. Interested in the mix pack, especially the Helles. Boston area tough drive for me, unfortunately. If anyone ever passes through central CT, let me know. NEBCO and Sip always at my disposal.

    I was at the Von Trapp Lodge during my recent trip to NE. I saw the beers for sale there and just thought it was a touristy souvenir. Now I wish I would have checked the reviews.

    Sorry, guess I should've clarified that "around here" was Western Mass...
