Where is the Wormtown?

I won't throw rocks, but I just don't agree. Be Hoppy isn't Trillium or Tree House, I freely admit ...the flavors are not as intense as IPAs from those two breweries. Be Hoppy is more subtle, but I think the flavors are great. It is better than 90% of IPAs that are widely available. I will take it over Stone IPA, Sculpin or Union Jack every day of the week. And I think that is what this thread is about ... there was a time where Wormtown was relatively easy to find (in certain areas), and many of us thought that time would come again once the new brewery opened. That has not yet materialized. Hopefully a larger bottling run of BH means that distribution of 6 packs is not far behind. I would love to be able to walk around the corner and grab some on a whim.

 

Ahh ha, I gotta try some draft. I always did like it better on tap. I used to love it, and would regularly destroy my cans quickly. ( Drinking Tree House consistently since canning began probably doesn't help.)

 

We're still waiting here on Cape Cod / South Shore, Wormtown. Night Shift and Lord Hobo have a presence here now. Is it your turn next?

 

I'm with you. Used to love it fresh in the bombers years ago. Every can I have had has been very average at best. No nose to speak of and flat flavor. Too many better options now.

 

Always think it's quite good on tap. The one time I bought cans I was let down.

 

Draft has been just as tasy IMO. There has been some inconsistencies with the cans. Have not tried bottles.

 

From what I hear, distro to the Cape is definitely in the works.

 

Hey all. I'm the tap room manager at the brewery. Just want to give you a bit of information on why you aren't seeing much packaged product from us. Here is the deal, we don't have our own canning unit. I know everyone loves cans, including myself. However we only can once a month. So there is your can question. Second, topic: 6 packs. We just did our second six pack production on Wednesday. We sent out about 350 cases. We do have a great bottling line that we are getting used to. We are trying to get packaged beer out there. I know we moved to a new location to grow, and we have. But it's a process. We are going to be adding more tanks soon to help our packaged product supply. I saw someone mention 6 packs of Bottle Rocket. Those are coming very soon. By that, I mean we are HOPEFULLY doing that in the next couple of weeks. We are still a small brewery. We are doing our best to get our beer in your hands. We appreciate all of your loyalty and patience during this, but the good news is, we are going to get the packaged stuff to you a little more as time goes on.
As a disclaimer, I typed this on my phone so sorry for spelling or grammar issues that auto correct put in there. Cheers folks.

 

Thanks for the update. I think I met you a few weeks ago, I was the guy with the baby in the stroller _ enjoying paternity leave.

 

Oh yeah. I remember the name. @seanwhite

 

I'm shocked at the people who've said that the cans they've had have been sub par. I've grabbed at least a 4 pack from damn near every canning run and they've all been awesome. I actually found the first bottle run to be a little off, but haven't seen anyone mention it, so maybe my tastebuds were off or something.

Excited to see Hopulence back in the tap room. Aaaaaaaaaany plans at all to put that in cans?

 

@Afrech1 not sure you're able to share this information, but does the new bottle line mean the end of the relationship with Iron Heart for cans? I would imagine it wouldn't make sense to package with someone else when you can do it yourself...

 

Wed 7/29 last bottling run for Be Hoppy? Cases sent out last week? So we should see some this week?

 

Austin Liquors in Worcester had what looked like 7 cases of 6 pack bottles behind the counter where the nips are today .

 

I can often find cans, but have not seen a single six pack of bottles yet in the Franklin area. Cans have become a little too scarce so bottles would be welcome. Be Hoppy is my go to IPA. It's just ideal for a standard IPA, and yes, that's a Be Hoppy in my profile picture. No manipulation it simply appeared that way as I lifted the glass.

 

Not in cans, no. EVENTUALLY in 4-pack bottles though. However we are looking at 2016 time to do that.

 

No issue answering this at all. We DO NOT have a canning line. So yes, our relationship with Iron Heart will continue. We need cans because you want cans so that means we need them. So without a doubt we will still and are still using Iron Heart.

 

@HuskyHawk To be honest with you, distribution isn't my thing. Like I said, just a tap room guy. But I will try to answer as best as I can. You should see bottles soon I would hope. We are actually bottling again in a week (Be Hoppy and Bottle Rocket) and this is a HOPEFULLY! Hopefully you will find it soon.

 

@MVP09 You should see it starting now. I have heard there are some already out there in stores. Not sure where you are, but hoping it gets out your way.

 

Good to hear. We do like cans.
