    Make a 16oz canned hoppy Pale, IPA, or DIPA with statewide distro. For example Backlash or Jack's Abby would be nice. This is a great format for summer, works great at pool, beach, and cookouts. If there one, my apologies and let me know who makes one

    bottles or cans aside, my please to mass brewers would be a top tier IPA, DIPA, or APA. Can we start there?

    Jack's Abby is awesome but 500ml bottles do not go well with summer activities.

    If pigs flew and Be Hoppy (or Left of the Dial - great for summer) was canned, I'd be all set.

    Reminds me, I still haven't tried Green Head IPA yet. Fingers crossed that one hits a homerun for my taste.

    I think Jack's Abby is very good and one of MA's best but I don't think it compares to the best of the best out there. Hoponious is the only one I love. I think availability and price point help boost JA but IMO there are 50+ "hoppy beers" that top their stuff. Taste is subjective but I am always amazed that considering our state's love and sophistication of consumer that we don't have one of the best in the country.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Sam Adams cans a hoppy beer next summer. Just a hypothesis.

    Green Head is a great start. Although they only distro north of Boston.

    Agreed. Be Hoppy is outstanding and for the most part fresh with in a month. So true on Larry that stuff sits on shelves in tons of stores.

    I would drool with anticipation! A 16oz can of Julius would be a site for sore eyes. My travels to Vermont would diminish. Lol

    I hear tree house growler process can be disappointing. Does cans mean distro or brewery can release days kinda like heady
