    We have about 20-30 cases of each beer left for sale. The farthest west the cans made it was Julios, I believe.

    We are hoping to do a canning run every 3-4 weeks for the rest of the year. Next canning run is September 9th and then after that it is October 1st. Cheers!

    Is your plan to can Whirlpool and a different Morph every month? Or will the beers always be changing?

    Julio's ran out. Anymore of those 20-30 cases making it back out to Westboro. Or is it a wait till next canning?

    Sept 9th will be a different Morph batch. No Whirlpool for that canning date. We only have enough hops to do a few more batches of Whirlpool this year. Might be able to can on more batch of Whirlpool in the fall. However, next year we hope to can Whirlpool on a regular basis!

    I don't personally handle the sales side of the business so I am not 100% sure but I don't think any more cans are going out to accounts from this round. Julio's will get more cans from the Sept 9th run!

    Didn't notice this bad boy (Whirlpool) was 4% until this thread. I thought it was a 7% IPA. I hope there's some left at my local tomorrow.

    Sounds like it looks the Bissell Brothers Baby Genius (their 4% session IPA). Looked like a grapefruit colored hefeweizen.

    It's the ultimate beach beer for that reason, or would be but for availability and perhaps price. I plan to take two of mine to Cape Cod this weekend (and won't share them) to go with some Sixpoint cans.

    Finally secured a can of each Whirlpool was excellent. Nose is awesome! Best description its a hop juice/soda! Having Morph now. Great as well but I am putting WP ahead of it. Only have a can of each so take my opinion for what it is.

    Whirlpool got some rave reviews from my brewer friends who I gave some cans to up here. Very impressive.

    I just cracked these tonight. For me, Whirlpool is a winner. Peach and a little Sweet pink grapefruit. Outstanding. Best low ABV beer I've had. Morph is very good, but Whirlpool is outstanding.

    Just picked up my store's last four pack. I'll get to these weekend during a bbq, looks like a great session beer.

    Ugh. NH is so bad in this regard. Lab testing, re-approval for case size changes, the infamous Breakfast stout minor imagery, etc.

    We have 2 cases of each. And we've heard Provisions got a few as well. But if I recall, we're the only 2 accounts in W.MA with them. I was in the shop today and we had a case of each left.

    Cheers!

    Cracked one a bit early, I couldn't resist.

    Man, you guys nailed this one. The other posts are right, that smell when you first crack the can....heaven.

    Strong peach aroma/flavor and pineapple as well. Body was still a BIT thin, but still one of the better session hoppy offerings I've ever sampled. I took a few sips directly from the can before pouring into the glass, and dare I say.....drink from the can?

    Tomorrow's bbq will be the perfect test for this as I don't believe I'll have glassware there. Can said 4.3% abv, I thought this was 4%? Is the abv different batch to batch for this beer?

    Canned 8/19.....I'd say that's pretty damn fresh, wish I picked this up last week when I saw it, would have been four days old...

    We have played around with the Whirlpool recipe for sometime to get the perfect abv. We have made batches between 3.7 to 5%. And our team concluded that we like it best at 4.2-4.3%. Keeps the beer super light, super session-able, and let's the hops really take center stage. So the abv on the can is correct.

    Enjoy your BBQ

    For the record, these were fucking amazing. Would trade for both again.

    Just had a whirlpool and was very impressed. I now have a Morph sitting in the fridge. Keep 'em coming!

    @masterob8 Could we get an update on what's left for Whirlpool & Morph cans at the brewery? Was thinking about swinging down tomorrow to pick more up...I blew through a case way too fast!

    Liked Whirpool better, found it more aromatic and a like more of a unique flavor.

    What does a 6 pack of Whirlpool cost? I had to buys singles. Glad I got to try it, but would have to have a more cost effective way to buy them in the future.
