I was watching BBC World News on BBCA this morning, and found out that they also pronounce the football (soccer) team the same way, which surprised me--I'd assumed that they would get it right ("Kell-tic").
Yeah, they're Scottish, they're weird. IJS.
Not professionally, no. I'm in an academic library. Nutty is an ex-children's librarian, though.
Where did you find it???
I didn't. A friend (with whom I tried it for the first time a few years back when we stumbled across it at the Sunset Grill) managed to find it at the suburban location of one of those big stores on Harvard Ave in Allston (I think it's another Marty's, but it might be a Blanchard's). Sunset will definitely have it in the bottle (and possibly on tap).
I haven't really gone looking in the Salem area. That Vinnin Square store that often seems to get off-the-wall beers, or possibly the Kappy's (?) out by the malls would be a place to check.
I was just at the Kappy's and I don't think I saw it. I wasn't looking for it specifically, but I was examining all the winter type beers they had, and we bought 2 others.
Oh, jeez--they just announced that they're moving 42 editorial production jobs from here to Malaysia. It doesn't impact my department as such, but this is not a good thing.

I'll talk to my friend and see if he can get some more. I may have him get a case for me. It ain't cheap, though. Something like $10+ a six. It is that good, though, and it will keep over time (I might try putting six down for next winter - if I can hold out that long on drinking it).
And with that, off for BEER!
I feel a sudden need to buy some dark chocolate to go with my Guinness.

Er. Yeah, we spend a lot of money for beer, that's not out of line. I'd be happy to split a case with you if you like, or just buy a six pack off your hands. If it comes about.
Microbrew prices are about to go up like WHOA due to the hop shortage and malt/grain price increases- I fear that spending $10+ for a sixpack will soon be the norm. More than that, I fear that the insane ingredient price increases will put a lot of small breweries out of business.
