I'd imagine BR would be seeing some by next week. My local rouses in the CBD is stocked full of MechaHop. Reasonably priced at $9.99 a 4 pack considering Ave Pub charges $7 for a pint.

Hoping it tastes better from the can than last time I had it on tap. Not that it's bad, just unbalanced.

And considering WF charges $11.99 and Elio's had them at $10.99. It was the same with Grand Reserve and Farmhouse IPA. Rouses had GR at $12 and everyone else was over $15.

Got an e-mail from CJ that it hadn't come in (Calandros) when NOLA and the distributor had promised and it wouldn't be in until next week.

Yep, next week.

Hopitoulas is dramatically worse in cans that on tap. Hopefully the reverse is true for mecha.

I've had Mechahopzilla 3 times. Once at the bulldog, once at zapps, and once at another bar. All 3 times it was great.

I enjoy it as well, it's not the best IIPA around by any means but it's not bad at all.

I agree. It's just bitter for the sake of being bitter without the big hop nose and flavor profile that I like in a DIPA.

That being said, I'll buy a 4-pack to see how it is in cans.

I like the mecha in the can better for some strange reason.

Riveting review.

I really enjoy it and I am glad we have a local IIPA option. Is it the greatest? No where near. Is it bad? Not at all.
