    First time having it this year, and I thought it was pretty good. Cheers

    Thanks @Beersnob724 for the awesome offer! But I was able to score 2 cans today at another local place. $3.89 per can.

    It's going for $24.99 in some parts of central Iowa, what a mark up.

    What offerings do you feel are similar? Just curious. I agree there are tons of hoppier DIPAs nowadays, but this beer to me is still among the best in terms of balance. Just a total fruit bomb and so distinctive, every year it still separates itself from the rest to me in terms of taste.

    Where is that? Whole foods is $24.99 and the beer distributor, if they even have it is $90 a case.

    Enjoy

    Asheville, NC got it yesterday (2/9)...specifically at Bruisin' Ales. Canned 1/27/16 so 13 days fresh. Personally found it much tastier than the last 2 or so years' batches. Definitely better (to me) than last year's batch which I personally found favored the sweeter side. This is actually my favorite batch in years come to think of it. The hops are slammin'. :wink:

    Dang, where did you buy that case? That's priced higher than buying individual 6-packs in most places.

    I had my first Hopslam last night and was an excellent beer but feeling these are very hyped. Being a northeastener Ive been finally trading for these Surly (abrasive,overrated,furious),Bells(Hopslam,two hearted)3F (alpha,gum ball,zombie) pa's and though I admit they are very very nice beers and different from stuff coming out of the north east. Northeast brewers are killing it with endless juicy amazing brews.

    Thank you for the update! I was in there on Saturday and asked if they knew when they would get it and they told me 'late February'.

    I did have a Hi-Res on tap when I was there and thought it was really good

    I bought Hi Res at ABC East Brandon over a week ago, so I passed at Cellar. Both are dynamite....but $$. Hopslam came in yesterday. He, like others, are at the mercy of the distributors. Good folks at Cellar.

    I love when people chime in and says there are a ton of similar offerings that are cheaper.... then fail to list them. Real helpful fellow advocates... haters gonna hate. :wink:
