Hopjacks is notorious for it's ever evolving beer menu due in part to their purchasing power and professional relationships with breweries across the country.  It is not uncommon for them to have "one-off" products drop-shipped and made available to their clientele.  Due to these reasons they update their beer menu once a week to make sure everything is current.
