Hopslam Limits??

The gentleman working the register tonight said it lasted a half a hour longer this year than last year's. I guess that's progress?

 

Wow. Probably due to the 1 case limit, but that only giving a half hour, that is crazy.

 

At elevated today
Saw 2 ppl walk out with cases
But they had plenty
I got a 6 pack, tasting great!

 

After using line breaks like that, I though sure you were writing a poem about Hopslam and that that last line was going to rhyme. I feel like you left us hanging there.

Maybe, "I got a 6 pack, in their faces!" ??

 

people actually drink entire cases of this beer? this is, beyond me.

 

I thought he would write
A haiku, but too many
Syllables, too bad.

 

I limited myself to 2 bottles. How's that for a limit? Figured I should get some just for nostalgic purposes

 

This can't be legit. I'd have to assume that allotment just came in or is going on the shelf or something....I mean, Hopslam isn't even that good anymore....

 

From last year but it's legit:

South Lyndale released yesterday, no limit on Hopslam. I know Haskells DT Mpls is getting 15 cases, and Salem Liquor in Inver Grove is getting five! It will be around.

 

Picked some up yesterday for $14.99 and was told they're expecting another shipment in a couple of weeks.

 

Any place in the south metro selling it by the bottle?

 

I was at elevated
They were

 

south lyndale was yesterday... but spendy per bottle. Sixer was 14.99 and per bottle was 3 bucks.

 

seems like the right price for a single, tbh

 

Is this one of the first "bigger" releases where TW is a good deal off from the low price leader in the area? 6 packs can be fairly easily got for $14.99-15.99. I know it's just 2-3 bucks more at TW, but that's something. TW is still the low price leader for Abrasive as far as I know ($14.99)

 

well to be fair boozemart did 13.99 four packs as a sale when abrasive first hit... but yeah, I hear ya. That's really high.

 

My stepbrother just paid $23 after tax in Saint Cloud, yikes. How does this beer still have such appeal?

 

Because it's really damn good, no matter how much the beers around it change!

(Though $23 is pushing the envelope too far, perhaps)
