    Thanks all for the input. Had a great week in Ocean City. My family was able to get a growler of both Carton 077XX and Kane Overhead and bring it down for me. Hopefully next time I'm up there Head High cans are out and available.

    I live outside of OC. The only reliable places to get Carton are Collier's Liquor in Cape May and Roger Wilco in Ventnor. I would call both to see what they have. Roger Wilco also carries an occasional Kane release.

    Great thread, heading to OCNJ on Saturday and looking to get some Carton while I'm in the general area.

    Two weeks back, I tried to have a NJ beer tasting at our house during our Crab Fest. I went to Passion and Vines in Somers Point and they did not have any. They had gotten 2 cases of Boat and 2 cases of 077XX but the person told me that they all sold within 2 hours. They normally get their shipments during the week so hard to imagine they would still be there when you get down on Saturday.

    But they do growlers and had Kane, CapeMay, and Carton on tap. That was even better to tell you the truth. They had the Carton sour cactus, Kane Wit, and CapeMay Bog. The Kane Wit was the clear winner.

    Enjoy, hope they have the cans but I would not be too optimistic on that front. But maybe something on growler.

    Yeah - there are no cans available anywhere at this point. MAYBE some BOAT cans at Carton itself...

    To revive an old thread, down in Ocean City NJ and found 4 FW Helldorado sitting on a shelf at Super liquors at $15.99

    Thats the only place I didn't check, they only place that had it was Canals in Rio Grande, everyone else, didn't get it, or sold out yesterday or this morning. Did a about a 3 hour loop today in Cape May and Atlantic County. Found other stuff sitting on shelves I was kinda shocked to see like Eclipse 50/50.

    Canals on Fire road had 2 left and Roger Wilco in Ventor had one sitting up by the front counter.

    Roger Wilco in Ventonor has all kinds of gems. I always find good stuff in there. Not a big fan of DuClaw, but their Devils Due Bourbon Barrel Stout is amazing. Bought two from there the other day. Several left on the shelf... Also bought some rare sours.

    I can't imagine that Head High cans will be anymore available than Carton cans.
    I bet they will be even harder to come by

    It may be wishful thinking on my part but if they are really getting their own canning line and have the ability to can 1-2 times a week as opposed to having Iron Heart come in once a month like Carton does, I have to think this should be pretty plentiful. Demand will no doubt be high but they should be able to get a lot of it out there.

    I had not heard about them using Iron Heart. Not sure if they are going that route why they didn't do it sooner though. Good question on the production of HH, but bottom line is once they have their own canning line there will be a lot of it on the market one way or another. You don't spend that kind of money on your own canning line and expanding the brewery size unless you know you can fill a lot of those cans.

    Head High is gonna be great trade bait. My prediction is that it shoots up the BA top 250 list for 2016. So stoked on that beer...
