PB&J Mixtape: how to find it in Westford, MA

If you are after PB&J Mixtape, the quickest way to know whether we have it is to search the CBC Liquors site or call the shop on Littleton Rd in Westford. Rare cans move around, so this guide covers how to ask, what to do if it is out, and which sours to try in the meantime.

Can you get PB&J Mixtape at CBC Liquors in Westford?

The most honest answer is to check before you drive. Search the site for the name, or call the shop and ask whether it is on the shelf today. We would rather you get a straight answer from us than make a trip for a can that has already gone.

We are at 142 Littleton Rd, Westford, MA 01886. Hours are 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. Whoever picks up the phone can look at what is actually in the building.

If you would rather browse yourself, our whole beer selection is on the site, and the shop carries 4,588 products from 1,883 brands, so there is plenty to look through while you wait on a particular can.

What should you ask when you call?

Keep it short and specific. Give the exact name, PB&J Mixtape, and ask whether any cans are in stock right now. If you want a few, ask how many you can take. Limits on hard-to-find beer are common, and the person on the phone can tell you what applies.

It also helps to say whether you want to pick up in the shop, or whether you would like to ask about delivery or shipping. We offer pickup, delivery and shipping, and the options available for a given item can depend on the item and where you are.

If the can is not here, ask whether anything similar is on the shelf. Staff handle those questions all day and can point you at something close in style.

What kind of beer is PB&J Mixtape?

The name points to a peanut butter and jelly idea: a beer built around nut and fruit flavors rather than a plain pale ale or lager. Check the can itself for the style, the ABV and the ingredient notes, because the label is the reliable source for what is actually in it.

Beers with dessert-like or sandwich-inspired names usually sit in the specialty and fruited end of craft brewing. Brewers who make them often start from a sour or a stout base and add fruit, nuts or flavorings. That is general background, not a description of this particular can, so read the label.

If you are comparing it against other cans, our speciality beer and fruit beer pages are the natural places to browse for the same adventurous end of the cooler.

Which sour beers can you try if PB&J Mixtape is out?

If the can you want is gone, the sour beer section is a good place to look for something with a similar fruit-forward character. A few cans we carry that are worth a look:

Mortalis Hydra Peach Blueberry Strawberry leans into a mix of fruit right in the name, which suits anyone chasing the jelly side of the idea. Drekker Slang du Jour Blueberry Muffin goes for a baked-good theme, closer in spirit to a dessert-style beer.

450 North Slushicream Cremsickle Float Slushy is a slushy-style can for people who like their beer thick and sweet. Wandering Soul Songs Unsung and Foam Alien Observer are two more to check out. Foam also has its own brand page if you want to see what else that brewery has with us.

For something lighter and tart, Mighty Squirrel Pink Lemonade Berliner Weisse is a good reference point. Berliner weisse is a traditional tart, low-alcohol wheat beer style from Germany.

How do you hunt rare beer without wasting a trip?

Start with the brewery. Limited releases usually come from a few breweries that make small batches, and the cans you want tend to follow the brewer rather than the style. We carry several well-regarded names, including Other Half, Toppling Goliath, Night Shift, Finback and Mast Landing. Their brand pages are a quick way to see what is listed.

Check the site before you leave the house, and call if the name you want is not showing. Stock changes during the day, so a phone call close to the time you plan to come is more useful than a check the day before.

If you are after an allocated bottle or a special order rather than a can, our allocated items page and the kegs page for keg and special order requests are the places to start.

Can you pick it up, or have it delivered or shipped?

We offer pickup, delivery and shipping. Pickup hours match 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 deliver to several nearby towns, including Chelmsford, Acton, Littleton, Lowell, Billerica and Tyngsborough. The full list is on our delivery areas page.

For how shipping works, read our shipping policy before you order. Alcohol rules differ by place, so it is worth knowing what applies to your address.

What else should you know before you go looking?

Beer like this is best cold and fresh. Keep cans in the fridge, drink them within a reasonable time of buying, and check any date on the can. Fruited and sour beers in particular are usually at their best when they are fresh.

If you are buying for a get-together, our party planner page can help you work out what to pick up beyond the one can you came for. Everyone drinking should be 21 or older, and please drink responsibly.

And if you want something we can get you in the meantime, ask. With a 4.7 out of 5 rating from 339 Google reviews, we try to make the visit worth it even when the can you wanted is not on the shelf.
