Nothing at all wrong with storing it warm, hot wouldn't be good.
I disagree. There is a significant difference in flavor, to my palate between packages correctly stored cool at all times and those that are allowed to warm up and must be chilled again.
It is my money and my tastes. I won't buy beer that is stored warm on a shelf.
But I thought the hoperandi was just fermented fress pressed hop juice?

It's a damn good beer.... but not that hoppy. You do bring up a good idea though.... I got to do something with these 6lbs of hops that showed up on my door today.
Yeah, I wasn't trying to make it sound bad 'cause, it's really good!

BTW, I had it the day it came out, at 10 am. The hops were probably really fresh then.

Anyone have a report and/or recipe on this yet (how much dry hopping does it really take)? This has become my favorite beer, especially in cans. "Pretty Heavy" late hops, indeed. Mmmmm.
