I had a bottle last night from the 8 that came in earlier. Not at all as hoppy as I remember, it had to be old stock.

I've been chatting with the distributor. He's gonna look into it when comes up here.

He also said there's a Best Before date around the neck of the bottle.

Very much looking forward to this release. Several new beers, the return of several nice beers, only maybe one or two "meh" beers.

Cheers!

Wow - they released it early - we were told they wouldn't hit stores until Feb 26

enjoy!

...man, this is going to be great trying to get just a few bottles...

...the crappy thing is it's just going to cause panic and hoarding...

Based on feedback and emails we have received we do expect Hophead Double IPA to go quickly again this year but there is some good news - the order placed by the LCBO this year is TWICE as big as the order they placed last year so it should be easier to get some this year.

And second - the LCBO is doing a brewery feature of Tree Brewing in May and that feature will include HopHead Double IPA - so if inventory sells out in March we will make another batch and ship out for May.

Brewery Feature info is here http://www.bartowel.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=7489

cheers!
