Great blog. Here is some more fodder if interested:
This has been a hot topic for the NE beer community. Spencer Brewery is the only Trappist brewery in the US and located in middle MA and they are now releasing their inaugural brew on Tuesday. Every retailer I have called in MA has this at $18 a 4-pack. I did find a retailer offering this not only pre-sale and at the lowest price in the state by far, 14.95 and they will DELIVER it to you SAME DAY (wtf?).

This is a rather expensive release (I know Chimay wants to amortize this quickly but this better be delish for $18 bucks)!
