    I work at Waxy O'Connor's Irish Pub & Restaurant in Woburn MA and we have Wormtown Be Hoppy on draft. We've had it for about a month now and have no plans currently of discontinuing it. Trying to slowly turn the curve towards craft beer here.

    I'm speaking on secondhand knowledge, but from what I know Wormtown sells growlers and usually has a few bombers for sale. Don't expect to find their full inventory (because the space is very small).

    Attached to the brewery is Peppercorn's, a bar/restaurant that keeps many Wormtown beers in regular rotation on the draft list.

    Thanks for the info. Although I heard that they were moving to shelbourne st soon. Does anyone know if this has happened yet or will happen soon?

    Question is answered earlier in this thread:
    ...the brewers hope to be in the new brewery at 72 Shrewsbury St. by September and open to the public in early October.

    Rarely see Mayflower beers at stores I shop at - either that or I am just choosing to ignore.

    One of my very favorite things about my local townie bar- $5 Be Hoppy drafts, always. In the mug club, so 20oz for $6 including tip. Unbeatable (or was, until they started canning).

    Be Hoppy and Tennessee Tats are probably some of the most underrated World Class beers in the New England region. I could say it's a good thing, but BH sells within 24 hours everytime it comes out and Tenesse Tats it's a once a year or once every two years type of deal.

    Hopulence and Buddha Juice also damn good DIPA's, But NE has too many great ones for them to be name next to the other great.

    I agree that it does not seem like Wormtown gets a lot of attention and hype, but if BH is selling out within 24 hours, that would be a good indicator that people love the stuff - like me.

    The reason it sells so fast it's because of how limited their distribution is (Mostly Central Mass). Not to mention the small brewery they had behind Peppercorn's in which required their canning line to be completed out of the door. Looking forward for the new Brewery, Hoping to get at least 2 4 packs of BH instead of one.

    Canning outside because of their limited space out of the old brewery.

    well, i mean, the reason it sells out so fast is the same reason gandhi bot sells out so fast. 1) limited amount, but more importantly 2) it's fucking great. you'd be stupid NOT to buy it if you see it and you like great IPAs.
