Hopzone, like most powerful IPAs needs to be consumed fresh and kept cold. There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING worse than a strong beer that's went sour. The best beer in those green cans will taste far worse than skunk piss mixed with diesel fuel, if it's left out uncooled or is 3 months old. When I've picked up a 6-pack of hopzone somewhere like Hardin, Helena, Lima, even CVS pharmacy in Bozeman... odds are 50-50 if they are drinkable. The canned on dates are difficult to read on the bottom. The brewery itself or T&C grocery are safe zones.
One trip done. Another coming up. I'll admit no Hopzone went with me on the opener, my bad. I won't forget it next trip. I've seen it's powers. mtmuley
