    I have had a harder time getting cans of Be Hoppy lately than I do getting Heady Topper. I just had to ask about it and have them bring me a 4 pack from behind the counter like I was buying drugs. Anyone know why they can't seem to keep up with demand? Is it because they are kegging it and it seems to be readily available on tap or just because they have to use that mobile canning company and they can't keep up with demand?

    I thought Be Hoppier was really good but not as good as Be Hoppy. Hopulence was also great. Haven't seen Buddah Juice.

    Wormtown is in the process of building out a new facility. However, I have noticed that Be Hoppy is harder to find lately. It comes in and goes out pretty fast. Loving the cans though. Make it so much more affordable than in bomber form. Been drinking it a lot more lately. An example of the demand, last Friday I got a 4 pack while they were trying to put it on the shelves. They got 5 cases in. Gone by Monday. I know 5 cases is a lot, but it was at Table and Vine and they have a huge selection.

    Great to see new IPAs/DIPAs. After tasting both Buddah and Hoppier. I still prefer Be Hoppy and Hopulence.

    Hopulence canned please

    I liked Be Hoppier more than Buddha juice. I find it to be less bitter.

    Would love more canned offerings.

    Probably not a popular opinion but IMO: Be Hoppier > Hopulence > Buddha's Juice > Be Hoppy .... With a caveat the Be Hoppy is still fantastic

    Anyone see fresh cans preferably from April canning? I live in Norton but work in Worcester. Brewery is out Julio's too as well as Wegmans. Gonna check Austins locations. Near Norton. I know City Spirits in Attleboro had some but they don't fridge them. Look for some fresh fridge kept cans for a trade

    They popped up in Western Mass 2 Fridays ago (April 18th). I know its still a drive from Worcester, but Table and Vine in West Spfld had a bunch of cold 4 packs this past week.

    Thanks little too far of a drive. Might just pick up Be Hoppier as a consolation.

    I hear you, but keep an eye out. They come and go pretty quickly around here. But there are April cans out there somewhere.

    I know they do go quick. Especially when fresh. But a couple BMC places near my house carry them 1 keeps them warm on shelf and another had the Dec or Jan canning in mid march. I have actually had Be Hoppy warm and/or 3 months past date. Surprisingly it holds up well. Its for a trade so definatley wanna get stuff I know that is fresh and cold. Hopefully I find some

    Cold matters much less than age

    No can dates I was talking bottles over last summer. Had a bottle over 3mo on shelf got it home chilled it and it was good not great. As for knowing can dates. Its one of my favorite beers so I stay up to date on FB when they can
