Wormtown Be Hoppy

Another delicious beer that I (and I suspect many others) passed on in bombers, but bought frequently in cans. Delicious stuff.

 

You guys are probably right--BBC is a pretty apples-to-oranges comparison.

Regarding Flower Child though, that's another one that saw a pretty significant price cut going from bombers to cans, also something like 50%. I guess the take-home message is that bombers suck from a cost and convenience standpoint, and that when you move to a convenient package a cut the price sales go through the roof. Who knew!?

 

I say this so much my friends groan whenever I bring it up. But it's undeniably true and for whatever reason we all tend to turn a (mostly) blind eye to what would otherwise be very high prices when we see a beer in a large format. Would Be Hoppy have the same buzz if those 4 packs cost $25? Doubt it.

 

Canned Julius. I will believe when I see it. For now Be Hoppy and Whirlpool are the 2 top canned beers in MA!

 

ehh I would take Larry and Flower Child over Whirpool.

 

Last tuesday sept 2 austin liquors in shrewsbury had a few quart bottles on the shelf and in the singles cooler.

 

Yeah I agree with that too. Whirlpool is good, but not that good.

 

Absofrigganlutely...and good for them.

Why not mirror a super hyped up beer that doesn't stay on shelves with a limited distribution, they have the same style that has had a bunch of local hype from draft/bomber sales with limited distro, it isn't rocket science.

 

I get it $2.50 cheaper than HT. But yeah, I think the 16oz four pack was intentional.

 

I like tallboys in general. Always have.

 

Me too. Perfect format for IPAs/DIPAs

 

man a 2 can limit is nuts. no way would I go out of my way to buy that. if it happened to be at my local packy and was sitting there, sure.

 

IPAs and DIPAs should only come in 16oz cans.

 

Does yankee spirits in sturbridge get this? Planning on swinging by tonight, but never been

 

@ChrisChagnon unless the beer was distributed yesterday or today, which I don't believe since the canning and distro happened last week, pretty much nowhere will have this beer.

Edit: Yankee does rule though- I've had some good luck with 3F and the like there.

 

Looks like Be Hoppy is the new Gandhi Bot in MA.

 

I was at Yankee in Sturbridge last Friday and asked about Be Hoppy and was given a quick no Wormtown by the employee I spoke with. I don't know if that means they never stock Wormtown or if they just didn't have it at the moment though since I didn't follow up.

 

Stopping there around 7 today, hope to find some goodies I cant find in CT. Thanks for the tip, would love to find some 3F

 

They stock Wormtown, though I've been hard pressed lately to any in their cooler....I'm not even talking cans. Their Wormtown bomber selection is usually pretty sparse whenever I go. I think the only time I found Be Hoppy in cans there was when Wormtown began canning it.
