Holy crap. I just finding out we just got AkAk commit, I drove to Hillfarmstead (10 min away) and celebrating with 2 Twilight of the Idols. Just cracked open first one. Coffee and vanilla bean porter. Think

Can u save one for me?

Busy afternoon, opened up a Trillium Permutation 62 Triple IPA just in time to find our we landed Akok. What a great day.

I also scored Bourbon County regular bottles for $8 and Vanilla for $10. Most stores had the Vanilla for $25 or so.

Wut.

That's below cost to stores on both, and significantly so on the Vanilla.

But the "hipster factor/brand social acceptance" is part of the package for most people on why they like something.

Projection alert!

Where? I can't find the vanilla anywhere. It sold out pretty quickly everywhere I checked. And it was at least $23 everywhere that did have it. Wegmans had the regular for $10.

I have been getting a beer lately that is so good that i won't divulge the name so it increases my chances of hoarding it all for myself. very limited availibilty at certain packies. Probably the best new england style I have ever had. and it is not made in new england. (or west coast either.)

Also drinking more stouts lately even though quality is inconsistent and most available stuff is coming from places where the ipa's don't make the cut anymore. Stone's Xocoveza is a good one.

Bingo.

I found those Bourbon County beers at a small local shop in town. The Vanilla is gone.

Someone posted this week that Two Roads cans were "$6 behind sec.107".....i knew that was incorrect.... $9 for kingers everywhere.

Just wanted that person to know they ruined my Sunday afternoon at the XL.

And that beer outlet behind 107 WAS CLOSED!!

I bought a ticket for the damned $6 Two Roads!

Friggin' guy!

Projection alert!

Denial alert!

I have decades of science on my side...

I'll leave you with this. And this.

But of course you and everyone who agrees with you is special and unaffected by any of the things discussed in the former and can accurately identify 100% of the beers in the latter, right?

I fully don't expect either you nor the other guy in denial to read either link. Ignorance is bliss. Keep being special!

They absolutely are $6 behind 107 because I've literally bought them 6 times this year.

They probably ditched it today because they had a big crowd. Predictable. That's on you.

They were $6 all season until today. Sorry that they jacked the price but don’t come after us.

They raised the price today. Sad.

 

[Austin316]

Frustrating.

Blame me. I can take it. Come after me.

LEAVE CARONIMO ALONE

Its ok. I'd be pissed too. That was a really good deal.

If they don't bump them back down for hockey I'm gonna be really pissed.

So...it was $6 for a 16 oz can or a 12 oz???

Causal fans going for beer...

 

[Waquoit]

There is a lot to sort through here. Yes, there were $6. cans in previous games. There were no $6. cans today, they were $9. But the selection wasn't the same. Today they had Road 2 Ruin and L'il Heaven in cans, before it was other stuff that I don't like. The stand behind 107 was most definitely open but was very slow.

I assume you mean "casual".
BTW - I've had season tickets at the XL for 27 years.

I think part of my problem is I always enter at the Ann St/Church St entrance. I enter, turn left and buy whatever good beer they have along that stretch. I have never explored the far reaches of the other side of the arena.

I was being facetious!

Before it was honeyspot IPA (until they sold out), lime gose and the hefe. Still $6 and better than your standard domestic beers for$9. Oh well maybe the deal will come again soon. If not, we took advantage while it lasted!
