Yep, looks like I was off with my prediction.But its good to be dead wrong this time. Just got some Infinitum, Hop Head and Hopsinjoor (is it me, or does this taste more like a pale ale, more similar to something like Duvel than any IPA) at Cooper Street. If you guys make the trek make sure to be persistent as the latter two beers are stored somewhere in the back and are not shelved. First rep I asked said he never heard of them, went to the back and told me it would be in next week. Second rep I asked went to the back and found both of them within 2 minutes.Ukie wrote:Off to Burlington for some Hophead Double IPA!Lukie wrote:Don't hold your breath.

Should probably see some this week.
or:
Save the gas and pick up some Skjalfti, Doppel, Christoffel at Dundurn.
Decisions, decisions.
That's what I love about it. It's all continental nobel hops, only the proportions are Americanized.Lukie wrote: Hopsinjoor (is it me, or does this taste more like a pale ale, more similar to something like Duvel than any IPA)
Bill's also an award-winning homebrewer. He'll talk your ear off about good beer!midlife crisis wrote:Bill the beer guy is your man at Cooper St. He found it for me too. Very knowledgeable and service-oriented LCBO employee (a nice change from many, as you point out).

I swung by before closing last night and there was no sign of it. In fact, two perplexed LCBO employees were already being asked about it when I showed up. I'd say no at this point. Despite the fact 14 are listed as being there on the LCBO website.IPA_Lover wrote:midlife crisis wrote:Bill the beer guy is your man at Cooper St. He found it for me too.

So they DO have it? I was there Saturday and they said they it wasn't in yet. And by "it" I mean the Hophead.

you might be the first person in Ontario to get a bottle - congrats!midlife crisis wrote:I got some (Hophead) today at Queen's Quay. Look forward to trying it!
Beats me. I was going in for the hopsinjoor, which they had, so I wasn't overly bothered at the lack of Hophead. It'll trickle in soon enough.Ukie wrote:Maybe a private order?
Well apparently the dude above got some there Saturday. So I dunno what's going on.TJ wrote:I swung by before closing last night and there was no sign of it.

Man you aren't kidding with the trickle part. I'm sure those 14 bottles will be gone by the time I get home from work and have a chance to drive over there. 14 bottles in the entire GTA?!!Chris Stirling wrote:Hophead Double IPA is now in stores - it was released yesterday so it is starting to trickle into stores - here is the list of stores with inventory

cheers!
I bet we'll see it everywhere by the end of the week. I was at my store yesterday (Dundas & Mavis) and there was a tag and an empty shelf for the Hophead. I would guess that it will show up by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.IPA_Lover wrote:Man you aren't kidding with the trickle part.
