My understanding is that these are REALLY limited edition and even once the bottles make it out to the other cities listed above they'll be REALLY hard to find. I guess it's just a good excuse to come to Boston, take a tour of the brewery, and buy some beer. :tu

Also, considering it cost me $32 for the three I wasn't buying anymore anyway. They're very good beers but for an extra $6 on top of that I can buy an entire case of Dogfish 60 minute.

I made a beer run today for one of our brothers on the East Coast. He wants some local MN brews he can't get back East. While at the shop I picked up this mixed 6'er for myself. Looks mighty tasty.

It's good. Try the Torpedo.

I'm sort of a Sierra Nevada whore. I don't think they make a bad beer at all. Pale Ale, Torpedo, Celebration, Hefe Wiezen, Porter, Bigfoot Barleywine, it's all good.

You could say that, I go in phases. Most of this haul was prompted by Christmas arrivals. I actually went in looking to buy the last of the Dogfish Punkin Ale and somehow forgot to buy it :D

The Dogzilla was a dog. Just not very good. I could care less about it not fitting a "style" of beer since it has both stout and IPA taste, but it just wasn't enjoyable.

The Iniquity is quite a bit better, but I still probably won't be buying it again. If only 21st Amendment Brewing would can Back in Black IPA... I'd buy it regularly. So far it's the only black IPA I've thoroughly enjoyed.

Their winter beer is Celebration, not what I would call 'rank' at all. In fact, I just picked up a couple of 6 packs of it.

Picked up 2 bombers of Yeti Imperial Stout for $5.99 each. I've never had it before, but the reviews are excellent and figured I'd grab it at that sale price.

That Sam Adams glass is actually a scientifically designed beer glass. I think there is a page about it on their webiste.

I wish I could, but we can't buy Stone here in MN. One of these days I need to make a trip across the Cheddar Curtain to Wisconsin and buy some stuff there that we can't get here.

I drank an Unearthly the other day. Not bad but not great IMO. It was a little too sweet for my taste and I didn't really enjoy the hop finish either.

Nice! I see you even poured it in a Sam Adams glass. :tu

I have a few of these along with some Imperial Stouts and some Imperial Whites in my closet (a/k/a the beer cellar) catching some z's until they make their way into the fridge.
