RovingReporter I CANNOT WAIT! My local beer store said it will be in soon. I am having them hold four cases as it is my favorite EVER. f***ING NUGGETS OF NECTAR. Just not a picture of nectar. Of a mudrat detector, nor a ribbon reflector.

All I had to do to get the cases was hand over my shoes and promise that I will take care of my new pair.

RovingReporter I spoke with the PR guy at Troegs just a minute ago, as I am doing a story on the brewery. His exact words: "This year's batch, so far, has gotten rave reviews. We have changed up the recipe ever so slightly and I think a great brew has gotten even better."

I am trying to get them to open up Nugget Nectar to be around for more than two months.

johnnyd Not my style of IPA at all.
Just too thick and sweet.
(Though I very much appreciate whoever sent me a 4-pk last year - @chrism27, maybe...?)

Someone else can have my allotment.

Might want to try this years batch. Last year was good but probably the worst (comparatively) in the last couple years.

I don't think I was the one who shipped it. But I do love Nugget Nectar. Actually, I was just in Minnesota for a work trip and thought I may have missed my opportunity. But just called my beer distributor and they had one case left and are putting it aside for me. I know that last year's first batch was a little off....something about the transition into their new brewery. It was noticably different than previous years. I will provide an update of my thoughts of this year's batch once I secure the case.

Yeah, it's not even my favorite from that brewery. The Javahead is is awesome but I prefer stout beers.

Plus for clarification, I know it get's referred to as an IPA but it's not entirely acurate. I think it technically is referred to as an Imperial Amber.

Jay and I are in the same boat guys...every year I hear about everyone raving about how delectable this brew is, yet this god forsaken state of Connecticut does not allow it.

At least my buddy bought 19 4-packs of Founders Breakfast Stout, with it not coming back until September, it makes good trade bait :)

So, if anyone wants to trade some of this for some B-Stout, let me know. Jay first of course, he posted first.

That's why you use UPS and say it's olive oil or canned preserves or something like that. Although, a 6 pack might cost about $15 to ship.

Those dates look fake, not enough shows in the south. No love for the west coast either? Leg two has to go out west a little bit, just wait for the tour announcement.

cactoid I love the nectar. favorite two beers right now are nectar and heady topper, but both of them are kind of hard to snag. I went to the alchemist friday but I didn't go inside, because the sign on the door told me all I needed to know. :-(

Having my first Nugget of the year. I agree with the reviews, still plenty of hoppy goodness but it might be even smoother and easier going down than last year. Very difficult to get hold of here in NE PA, though. One beer store around here had all their allocation and more reserved by email weeks ago, another one said people actually were following the delivery truck on Friday and bought it as soon as it was unloaded. I had to have a friend from Schuylkill County snag me a case.
