Saw it earlier this week @ Duckworths Park Road.. probably gone by now.
Saw it at Glenway Pub in Belmont last night... and today @ Suffolk Punch across the street from Trippe C Brewery.
Some places are WAY too proud of their beer selections... all I'm saying.

example @ Glenway Pub...  Oscar Blues bourbon barrel aged ten fiddy was $10.50 for a 10oz pour. Angry

It's decent but I wouldn't hunt for it personally.  I would think Hopslam will be easier and easier to come by now.  The Hazy NE IPA's are generating most of the hype these days.  Often harder now to get stuff by local breweries like Heist, High Branch, and Resident Culture unless you are there on day one of a can release.   

PS - Budweiser is tasteless garbage compared to some of the smaller craft brews these talented guys are making.  If you argue with me I will scoff and say you haven't tried enough of them to compare, or you think a "good" beer is one that is watered down and easy to chug.  Like saying there is no difference between how a NEXT or a Santa Cruz performs on the trail.  *Cheers beer snobs.  Kiss

Got myself a six, and my brother is sending me a six from Michigan. He said Costco there had a huge display that went halfway to the ceiling. They had a limit of 4 six packs per person, @$14.79 a six. The next day they were all sold out. My brother is a Bud Light Drinker. A few years back, I let him try a Hopslam. And he really enjoyed it. Now he's one of the guys who waits for it every year. He also likes Oberon. But he still drinks mostly Bud Light. I think the name Hop-slam scares people. I think it's one of the best balanced beer out there. People who don't like IPA's would like Hopslam. As always there are people who like to compare other beers. If you like Bud or other local crafts. There used to be a popular beer topic on this page. Start one back up, and speak your mind freely. But I'm not gonna ever get swayed by Bud, in place of Hopslam Wink Cheesy Grin

I like a beer that NoDa will be releasing soon called Hop Cakes.  I would bet that is another he may enjoy?

I'm sure all the beers people mentioned are good. There are no winners or losers. It's great just to be able to enjoy them all. Right now I'm on a strict low carb diet. So I have to reach a certain plateau before I can enjoy it. So I get to dream while looking at the box for the next couple of months. Sucks to get old, especially if you went a little overboard  in your younger days Sad

I will be at High Branch tonight when they release "Bring The Boys To The Bar," it's an IPA with mango and it's tasty.  I had it last year at a Brewers Fest and it was one my favorites of the day.
