...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

cheers!
That's great news Chris...I expect it'll go quickly, but I also expect we'll get lots of chances to get it...thanks...

I just realized something incredible.
Every single beer in this release appeals to me, at the very least, in a "I'd like to try that" sort of way.

I bought a case+ of the Panil last year and I just opened one at christmas time. Not sure if it's improved with age yet, but it is certainly drinking good. Might buy another case for comparison.

Celt Native Storm is $0.55 more at only 4.4% ABV. Great deal I'd say, and a brilliant beer to boot.

This is a standard release brought to us by a communist regime. A dictatorship of the proletariat. I am sick of this so I will complain on a website, instead of doing anything of actual value.

I must be the only one who isnt overly excited about this release, being an ipa and big stout fan, the only one that has any interest to me is the double hop head. Its nice to see that there are a wide range of brews in this release for all tastes.
