Gotta add them to the list. Their beer selection is unreal.

But the only place inside 128 that's on the account list is Kappy's in Medford. :(

For whatever reason I was positive that Needham was inside 128. Even looking at the maps I got confused. Either way, two places in Needham are also on this list.

A small slice of Needham is inside 128. Highland Ave is Needham, headed east from the exit off 128m it quickly turns into Needham Street at the Newton line/Charles River.

In my head I was picturing driving from Needham Center to Dedham Center, then turning right on Rt. 1. You cross 128/95 in Dedham there making you think you were inside 128 the whole time. Same thing if you take a right on 109 or 1A. (looking at the map you go under 128 at the jail, going from "outside" 128 back "inside" 128.

This probably makes zero sense to anyone so Ill shut up now.

Yeah, Needham is on the list but Needham is weird. You actually have to drive quite a while to get to its Center where all the businesses are.

Look, I'm happy to go to Needham instead of Vermont but I'm just a bit sad that the distributor can't find even a few places (Marty's?) closer to downtown.

Err, as much as I like Night Shift, they're based out of Everett, not Chelsea.

Now I'm missing Mystic. RIP.

Though affiliated, the distribution arm of Night Shift is its own separate entity. I think the coffee roasting operation is in Chelsea as well.

I'm curious how much the stores in MA are charging vs VT?

I remember when that thief who owns Walnut Market in Newton used to sell it illegally (and warm!) it was $45 per four pack.

Also - Sip of Sunshine is better than both.
