They must be upping the production, too, because it has become a lot more available recently. A few weeks ago my local guy offered me two 4-packs at once for the first time ever, and that was a total of three that I purchased from him that week.
Really? I never see it, the only time I bought a can it was practically a secret.

You'll never see SOS on the shelves, except at Crazy Bruce. I picked up a 4-pack yesterday in West Hartford. It helps to be a regular at the store, and many will tell a newcomer that they don't have it. Whenever I go to buy some Tito's a just ask my guy what he's got, and more often than not he's got some SOS or Captain's Daughter, etc.
Julius >> SOS, and SOS is pretty damn good. Have you had Alter Ego and how does that compare?
I havent had Alter Ego yet. I put that on my wish list. And yeah Julius is as good as anything out there. Agreed.
Alter Ego is less hoppy than Julius or Green. It's more crushable as a result, and goes down very easily. It's superb, just not a massive hop explosion like the others. The Bear brown ale was superb as well.
Nope must get it at the brewery.
On Wednesdays treehouse opens for can sales only normally I'm in and out in about 5 minutes, today they have green and Julius 8 cans per person. I'm headed there in a little while, I love having Wednesday's off!That's what I thought. This beer better be damn good if I'm gonna drive an hour and wait in line just to try some. Unless it's significantly better than SoS and the like, it's not worth my time. Especially when I can drive 10 minutes away tonight and get some Fuzzy Baby Ducks

Its certainly worth trying it is that good. But to Rico's point 10 minutes for some FBD should definitely make you in no rush to get to Treehouse for a 4 plus hour roundtrip.
Who is your go-to store in WH? I'm not disciplined enough to stick with one, since many have a nice selection I just go to wherever's closest. Although the Harvest guys I like the best.
That's the thing. We need a reality check here. We are so ridiculously spoiled with top notch beers in CT now that none of us should have to travel an hour-plus or wait in line for a great beer. I love Treehouse and agree that they are in a rarefied class with Hill Farmstead, Maine Brewing and Bissell Brothers (as I've said before, I think it has something to do with the softness of the water), but there is a lot of this that is also "grass is greener" driven, i.e., being harder to get makes it that much more desirable.
I'm friends with the manager at Max Bev Bishop's corner (once designed a package store for him) and also the beer kid at Parkview Wine on Park Road. Also, Max Bev annonces when they have SOS on Snapchat.
Now that is worth a trip! Very nice!
Certainly....usually these logs last about 20 minutes when their availability is so limited but with 5 premium IPA's there should be plenty of good beer to go around
