    When is F5 in cans hitting the market? Who else is waiting with baited breath?

    It's Sunday morning and my breath is a mixture of fresh coffee and stale beer, but yes, I am eagerly awaiting canned F5!

    This has been a long, painful wait for sure.

    The problem with being able to get F5 at home is that I may never visit another OK bar again.

    Of course I hope they don't overproduce it. Seems to me almost all of the good IPAs/DIPAs we get here end up sitting on shelves or in warehouses for months & never get swapped out for fresh ones. Hopefully the popularity of F5 will keep that from happening again, but considering how many Green Flash West Coast IPAs bottled 1/22/13 I still find, there's cause for concern. Thank God for Marshall & SN seasonals, plus fresh F5 on tap - without them I'd have to make a TX or MO run every few months - or move.

    Hopefully some freshness dating for said cans. Say what you want about AB, but the born on dating works great for IPAs for me.

    According to Broadway Wine Merchants,
    the label is printed & is just awaiting...something.
    that i don;t remember, but the cans are printed already.

    from the facebook page:

    Just in: COOP F5 cans have been printed. Hitting the market sometime soon.

    Not that I know of, but Hopsickle (Triple IPA) from Moylan's
    is finally out. Drink it while it's fresh!

    Hoptomotrist hit Tulsa earlier this week (Tuesday), I believe...would expect it is elsewhere as well.

    Triple IPA scares me for some reason. Anyone tried this one yet? I could read the BA reviews but want to get a local take first to see if it's worth trying.

    I remember it being very grapefruity. Mind you that was 5 years ago...

    Well the Bros gave it a 100, & it is very reasonably priced, so I'll be checking it out.

    Got half this Roughtail Hoptometrist down my neck (25 oz bottle) & must say I like it a lot. Very hop forward. At 10% abv, you may want to have some help with this one!

    Picked up a bottle of Moylans Hopsickle for comparison later this weekend.
