    I keep getting conflicting information from stores. Has anyone seen these in Tampa yet, and if not have an idea when I can find them?

    That's what I thought about Hop slam, but then I saw my local ABC beer guy post a pic of him drinking one on Twitter. So I got really confused haha.

    Your ABC guy is the one really confused because it is the Hopslam "that sucks" when it is this old! I was doing some cellar clearing actually the other day and found I still have some 2012 bottles in there!

    I have one bottle (intentionally) in the back of my fridge. Want to compare the next batch against this one and see exactly how different it is. Sucks hit a few spots in Charlotte today (maybe earlier for all I know). Gonna try to grab a case tomorrow.

    I'll bet whoever watches Bell's Twitter and Untappd feeds cringes whenever they see someone drink a Hopslam in December (there were 5 or 6 today).

    Just a thought...but some people might prefer a hopslam with 10 months on it.

    Maybe, but seeing as Bell's officially gives it 6 months of shelf life seeing someone drink it well past that would probably not make them happy....

    Sucks should have hit distro this week. Hopslam is a January release. Good luck, and god speed.

    As usual, anyone seeing any Sucks in South FL? I know we got the shaft last year regarding Sucks... hopefully that's not the case this time around.

    Sucks was around SFLA last year. If it wasn't I don't know how in the hell I was drinking it.

    I looked everywhere for Sucks, must have been a couple choice accounts picking it up, Total Wines all around didn't have them, nor did any bottle shops around Miami-Dade.
