    I'm hoping to get some clarification - Bell's released information on this year's release and said that the week of 1/16 would be release week for PA. Waywood Beverage said they'd get it in on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. But Shangy's is saying that their release will be on February 2nd. Can anyone clarify?

    Without any specific knowledge (Which only Bells and Nima at Shangy's will have) it sounds sort of like a question of when there will be a delivery truck arriving from MI and getting to Shangy's. Typically breweries and wholesale distributors can not get all the beer into all the distributors in one state as big as PA on the same day. Also there may be different batches involved. For example the Troeg's Nugget Nectar out there now to be easily found in SE PA has two different bottling dates, 29 Dec and 6 Jan, based on reports in the NN thread.

    I assume Waywood is not a wholesale distributor for Bell's, and most likely must get their Bell's from Shangy's wholesaler side. So either Shangy's is sending Hopslam to their wholesale accounts first and then selling it via their retail store on the 2nd, or Waywood is not getting it this week.

    02/02/14 confirmed release at Shangy's. Just changed jobs so I can't make it on a Monday this year, great for me. Haha

    Shangy's should also have the Hi-Res in stock, double up.

    Or it will be fresher than that because its from a more recent batch than the first wave to his PA.

    Bell's says today is the release date so why would Shangy's hold onto it for an extra 2 weeks? So they can get an extra 5,000 phone calls about it for 2 more weeks?

    Maybe they figure they will sell enough beer Super Bowl week anyway, and HopSlam will generate another sales cycle.

    I thought he got banned for at least some period of time. Not sure he is active anymore here.

    No word about Westy's having it yet - maybe the 2/2 date is really just going to be the soonest they'll have it.
