NoDa Cans

I haven't seen any in my area

 

The cans come from the same source as the draft. I guess you just prefer draft.

 

Don't know the answer. I haven't had bottles and have had lots more cans than draft. The canning operation that they utilize seems first class. I'm gonna get a 4-pack today and give it a test!

 

In my opinion, the 16oz HDnR cans are the best thing going in Charlotte right now. Draft is always awesome, but these cans are friggin' great!!! I haven't noticed any lack or hoppiness to these. I've probably bought 6+ 4-packs of them since release. That all said, I prefer Jam Session via draft.

 

If anything I enjoyed the cans more after having it in draft and bottle form. Best IPA to come out of NC so far IMO.

 

I just kicked a 1/6th of HdR last month and have had cans since. No difference that I noticed. In fact whenever I crack open a can I usually have the same reaction as Charlottemoeron in that it is the best damn thing going right now.

 

Agreed. HD&R is starting to become a sought after beer up and down the east coast. It's an awesome beer. Can't wait til NoDa starts cranking out Coco Loco in cans as well.

 

Ive had both side by side. no discernable difference.

 

Ditto...loving the HDR in a can...awesome..

 

@apaisncsu sent me 12 as a favor. It's honestly the best regualr IPA out there because im more of a dry hopped fan. Everyone in my area that I've shared it with has loved it

 

Got one in a trade as an extra. I thought it was really good.

 

Has tremendous balance and body, drinks more like a DIPA . I can't imagine anyone not liking his brew. I had Double Hop Drop last weekend, and as good as It was Regular hop drop is better IMO.

 

And that is where?

 

Hickory

 

If I recall during my convos with local store owners, they go and pick up their brews directly from noDa. They don't distribute cans. I'm speaking for the triad area. Can't speak for hickory.

 

NoDa doesn't deliver yet, but Greensboro is only an hour and a half drive, buy a case. They just raised their prices this week too.

 

Where did you buy your can Sam? If it wasnt from the brewery you are at the mercy of the retailer. Im guessing you bought older cans. Fresh there is nothing better in my opinion.

 

x2. I was in EarthFare this week and they had HdR cans that still had the black plastic ring. They switched to the yellow plastic ring I believe about 3 weeks ago meaning that beer had been sitting on the shelf at least a month, possible much more. I am sure this is the case at a lot of retailers that are buying this in bulk.

That said, I really wish they would start dating their cans.
