    Hop ranch is now available at table and vine in west springfield, Mass.

    Also, they said Lagunitas Sucks will be in wednesday, which I believe is the day that Spencer Brewery's trappist ale will be available as well.

    Sadly, they are out of stock for Narragansett Coffee Milk Stout. Not sure when they are getting any more in.

    I guess it was available a few weeks ago? I must of missed it, because I go there weekly and ask for it and this is the first time I've seen it actually out on the shelves.

    Oh well.

    I got a 4 at Julio's. Taste is awesome. Its got a weird nose. Cat piss or weed? Anyone else get this same scent?

    I'm not loving this beer. The nose is almost sour? Much preferred Dirtwolf.

    Thanks! I picked up the second to last four pack on the shelf. Been looking for this. Hope it lives up to my expectations after the very delicious Dirtwolf.

    Wow, they had a whole bunch of cases on the end cap of the store earlier today. I saw some in the aisle as well.

    Glad to her I am not nuts. The nose is weird. Glad I got a 4 pack of Be Hoppy

    You and me both. I've had some delicious home brewed IPA's lately and this just didn't do much for me. Funky smell, light taste and I can't for the life of me understand why this flavor is what people are raving about. To each his own I guess. I am just getting in to IPA's, but this one does do it for me.

    I didn't even notice the end cap. I was extremely disappointed. I agree with the rest of you that the smell was... unpleasant. Mouthfeel was very light as well which I was not expecting for a 9% abv. Dirtwolf must chew this up and spit it out.

    After hearing the rave reviews I'm thinking maybe this was a bad batch??? O well... who cares. Plenty of other tasty beer out there.
