    I too have been seraching for this beer. Funny thing is my local bottle shops use to carry TH stuff all the time and now I just can't seem to find any of their beers. I have herd good things about their NE style IPAs though but not luck out here in NJ.

    looks like whole foods, bottle shops and a few beer distributors. I would call and check before making the trip.

    Craft Beer Outlet on Frankford Ave in Torresdale/Chalfont posted a few days ago that they had it.

    I bought a case there a couple of months ago.....I wonder if there have been new shipments or if this is old stock? I don't think the cans are dated. Fantastic beer though, I would like to get more.

    I'm pretty sure it is new stock. They posted about it a week or two ago.

    Awesome. Might have to make a trip to get some. I am also happy to report that the beer has a fairly decent shelf life, popped a couple several weeks after buying and still tasted great.....I know some hazy IPAs drop off very fast.....

    Just an FYI - sounds like Beer Yard might be sold out of the No Filter at the moment - dropped them an email a little while ago asking for it. Sounds like more is expected in a couple weeks though.

    The most recent batch in the area I saw is canned 5/3, so nice and fresh. They do label on the bottom of the cans in yellow font. I have enjoyed this beer and glad it is getting around the local market.

    Thanks for the heads up guys. Also, the case I bought a couple of months did not have any dates on the cans, but glad to see new batches do....

    Are you sure? I would have stated the same thing but due to the above post I went back to see that in very faint yellow ink on the bottom of the can is "Born on: 2017/03/03". I had to utilize a very bright light pointed at an angle to read this date.

    Cheers!

    Yep, every batch I have seen, including the first batch that I saw locally had a yellow date stamp on the bottom of the cans.

    This beer was probably my biggest surprise of 2017. Every Thomas Hooker beer I had prior was mediocre at best. Thought the #nofilter was outstanding.

    There was a time when Hookers dopplebock was top 5 in the world on the ratings here.

    Do you mean Liberator? If so, that is shocking.

    Yep, circa 2005 - 06. It may have even been #1 at some point.
