    I swear beers like Hopslam bring out the worst in some people. It's the only beer that I've ever had to ban someone from our store over for sneaking into our back room and trying to take a case out.

    Wow. I wonder what his escape plan was? *Don't mind the guy walking out of the store carrying a case of Hopslam*

    I don't think he was implying the guy was stealing it. He was merely trying to get around any bottle limits by grabbing a whole case from the back room.

    One should never underestimate how awful combat really is. You have to fight for Hopslam, follow trucks, go commando- use your wits. Honestly, Hopslam is a very good beer, but stress is a bad method for finding the "motherload". I'm joking, cheers, and good luck!

    Exactly, I Guess he figured if he got to the cashiers they wouldn't know about the 6pack per person limit (which they did). When I caught him he tried to play it off by saying he didn't see any in the cooler (which there was, with a sign that said 1 per). He then argued that we had no right under SC law to limit it. I politely pointed out that if I didn't limit it the first few people would clean us out and he still wouldn't get a case, at which point he threatened to call our HQ and get me fired if I didn't sell him one.

    He didn't get one, nor did I ever hear anything about it from HQ. Also no, I had never seen this person in the store before this happened.

    HypeSlam.....IMO there are way too many great IPAs out there now to go chasing a truck for it. Will I pick up a six pack if I see it? Sure. Will I call a store every day for two weeks asking if they have it in? Nope.

    How much Sucks do ya'll see in Tampa? NW florida has yet to see bottle 1 of it. Hoping that changes this year, but apparently our Lagunitas distro up here is a disaster. I have to get my Sucks fix when I visit ATL.

    Says the man who religiously thread shits on every offer not involving Cali beer. Btw, are you stalking me to find my posts? Have you nothing better to do? Funny how the man saying ones beer is not good enough to trade for an other, is the one calling me out for being pretentious. Dude hop off and drink some more Cali wælzbra.

    We've had a ton. Got delivered originally a few weeks ago, and we still have some sitting on the shelves.

    I just find it funny when people refer to "being a ba" like it is something they have earned that sets them apart. You signed up for a free website...that is it.

    This paragraph perfectly represents what the craft beer scene has become. You assholes make me sick.

    Last I saw, the SE was slated for it to be sent to the distributors on the 20th.

    That said, there's a place in ATL saying they will have it this Thursday, but no word from the other places in town when they will get it..

    I'm not going to chase it, it's not that earth shatteringly awesome, especially for $20 a sixer, but I will see if I can't get lucky and try and find a place that will have some and head over. Not waiting in line for it, like most folks around ATL love to do for a release.

    From what I heard, it's going to drop as EARLIEST as next friday. That was from a store manager from where I work...

    It would be interesting if someone got it 8 days ahead for sure
