    The hop aroma may not be where they want it with the cans, but every time I've had Blazing World it seems better. The canned batch I got from Whole Foods is spot on for flavor, really excellent.

    Just tasted the next batch to be canned off the brite tank, and the aroma is the best yet. Better, clearer Nelson character, and the Mosaic really pops. Better drink all the Blazing on the shelves so we can get this batch out :wink:

    Will a few cans be dropped off in OC while they make their way up to LA?

    Yup, plan would be for full distro in both LA and OC.
    He would just shake his head and walk away. I'm sure we'll do something with wet hops again next year, but it'll definitely involve a different process.

    Does anybody know if they have any of the cans at Pizza Port bottleshop? I'll be there Saturday so it would very easy to grab some. Or do I need to go down to Texas Liquor possibly? Last question, does either place sell singles? Would love to try them all but can't get all the way down to the brewery for one of the mixed 4-packs.

    I saw El Cerrito got cans today. Yay! It's closer than we think.

    So it looks like we're going to start sending cans to OC over the next couple of weeks. We got about 2x faster at filling them versus our first few runs, so that made a big difference in our output. L.A. is still on for early January.

    Completely agree. Had Blazing at the brewery earlier this week and loved the bright, dank taste & smell that outshined the sweet malt. Bought a four pack of cans & drank later in the day and thought a different beer might have been in the can…red trolley?

    Glad to see that the brewer is aware and adjusting for the cans.

    Next time I stop by I will have a growler in hand!

    Bought at Mr Kegs in HB. Good but not as good as fresh at the brewery. Would reconsider buying again. Not as hoppy.

    My experience was the exact opposite.

    Went there directly from Alpine 3 weekends ago, was underwhelmed by Blazing World. Bought a four pack anyway. Blown away at home, sticky, dank, seemingly an amber in appearance and name, only. Immediately on my "to buy" list if/when available regularly in the LA area.

    W
    Whole Foods has been getting MT regularly since distro began. Good beers.

    Cheers,

    In LA? I thought (as per Jacob above), that they weren't distributing up here until January.
