    As of 5pm yesterday the Clearwater, FL Total Wine had at least 10 cases sitting out next to the customer service desk.

    Since Best Brown is a late fall/early winter seasonal, it's probably bordering on four-five months old right now.

    Also Luekens just announced Hopslam is in stock with a two 6pk per person limit. They claim their stock will be gone by end of day.

    Yeah, I'll probably pass on a 6-pack due to the price, but I'm bummed about no Black Note. First Orlando gets The Oracle and we don't and now they get Black Note and we don't. I thought Miami-Ft Lauderdale would be a bigger market than Orlando.

    I prefer Hopslam to Sucks, BUT not at the $20 a sixer price point. Hell, even though it isn't a DIPA, I'm good with a six pack of Jai Alai year round for $9! Either way, I bought 2 sixer's of Hopslam and I will enjoy them and when it's gone I'll perfectly cool with Sucks, Ruthless Rye and Jai Alai.

    Several cases of Hopslam dropped Wednesday night at Total Wine in Naples, Fl. Two-six pack per limit.

    Not as anxious about getting enough to slowly enjoy. If I can keep fresh Sucks in my fridge year round I'll be happy to pick up a 6 here and there of seasonal/special stuff.

    While not bottles, on the Hopslam front in Orlando, Oblivion Taproom is tapping their keg in about 5 minutes when they open. I'll be there in a bit to get my fill. :grinning:

    Total Wine Pinecrest has 1.5 cases left as of 2 hours ago. One sixer per person. They're expecting another shipment soon.

    Yes, TW here is often slim pickings these days, but everywhere here in the SRQ BRD area sold out of Hopslam pretty much on Wed. it really went unbelievably fast this year.Even last year Total Wine held me my regular SO case however, they did not this year (would have been nice to tell me that when you took my special order a month ago or at least call me on Wed.), like the past three years, but this year it was get in fast and get yours. The bright side is there really are so many great hoppy beers to purchase that if we can't spend all are cash on Hopslam, we can still get great beers at a fraction of the price. Actually I am glad I could only get 2 sixers this year (so far, I bet more its in the near future) while it is great my wallet appreciates the scarcity.

    Honestly, I forgot to ask. One-track-mind at the time. My sincerest.

    Bell's brews Best Brown multiple times and we reorder multiple times. Next time I sell a case I'll check the date on it, but I don't see ours being anywhere close to being out of date. It's supposed to run until Oberon comes back. We still have a few kegs and cases in stock, probaby not enough to get us to March but close.

    Isn't Oberon year-round as of last year?

    No, Hopslam is twice as good as Sucks.
