Extra Extra Broccoli beer: where to look near Westford

Extra Extra Broccoli is a hazy, hop-forward IPA from WeldWerks, a Colorado brewery, and we can't point you to a bottle of it at CBC Liquors. What we can do is show you the IPA shelves and the special order page, which is where a hunt for a rare beer like this starts in Westford.

What is Extra Extra Broccoli beer?

Extra Extra Broccoli is the name of a beer from WeldWerks Brewing, based in Greeley, Colorado. It sits in the hazy IPA family, the soft, cloudy, juicy style that came out of New England and spread across the country. The name is a joke, not an ingredient list.

Beers like this tend to be talked about by name among people who follow hazy IPAs closely. They are released in limited batches, so a name can be familiar long before a bottle or can reaches a shelf near you.

If you searched this name because someone recommended it, you are probably after a particular style as much as a particular can: low bitterness, a lot of hop aroma, and a round, almost creamy body.

Does CBC Liquors carry it?

No page on our site shows a WeldWerks Extra Extra Broccoli, so we won't send you hunting for one here. If you came in through a search result that looked like a product page for it, treat that as a different shop's listing, not ours.

We would rather say that plainly than have you drive to 142 Littleton Rd for a beer we can't point to. If you want to ask us about a specific beer first, our door is open Sunday 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday to Thursday 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Friday and Saturday 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

Our range is large, with 4,585 products and 1,883 brands in stock, so there is a good chance we have something close to what you are craving even when the exact beer is out of reach.

Where to look for a similar hazy IPA

Start with the IPA category, which holds the whole family, from bitter West Coast styles to soft and juicy ones. If hazy is what you want, go straight to New England IPA, the narrowest shelf for that style.

The American IPA page is useful when you want a clearer, more bitter beer to compare against. Putting the two side by side is a quick way to learn which one you actually like.

You can also browse by maker. We have brand pages for Other Half, Toppling Goliath, Night Shift, Finback, Foam and Mast Landing, among others. Each page shows what we have from that brewery in stock today, so check it before you make the trip.

How do you hunt a rare beer you can't find?

First, learn what the beer is. Note the style, the brewery and the packaging, whether it is a four-pack of 16 oz cans or a single bottle. That lets you ask a shop the right question and recognize a near match.

Second, ask early. Limited beers go quickly everywhere, so a request made ahead of time is more useful than showing up and hoping. Our kegs and special order request page is the place to send a request to us, and a staff member can tell you what is possible.

Third, look at our Allocated Items page, which is where hard-to-get bottles are gathered. Check it now and then, since it changes.

Finally, keep an open mind about neighbours. Many breweries make beers in the same hazy, hop-heavy style, and a good one from a brewery you haven't tried can scratch the same itch.

Why does this search show you gum?

The word Extra shows up twice in the search, and the first Extra is also a gum brand. That is why our own results for it turn up chewing gum, not beer.

If gum is what you want, we carry Extra Polar Ice sugarfree gum, Extra Peppermint sugarfree gum and Extra Spearmint sugarfree gum. They are the only Extra products we show, and they have nothing to do with the beer.

If you wanted the beer, ignore them and head to the IPA shelves above.

Can you get beer from CBC Liquors without coming in?

Yes, for what we do stock. Besides walking in, we offer pickup, delivery and shipping. Pickup hours match our store hours. Delivery runs Sunday 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM, Monday to Thursday 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM, and Friday and Saturday 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM.

We also serve Chelmsford, Acton, Littleton, Lowell, Billerica and several nearby towns. Our delivery areas page lists them all, so check yours before ordering.

If you want a broader look at what we carry, our page on beer in Westford walks through it, and our page on craft beer from nearby breweries covers the craft side. Drink responsibly, and only if you are 21 or older.
