2015 Hopslam Release

i think it is technically distributed in new york this week, anyone seen it in nyc?

 

Good, then maybe more customers will get to try craft beer!

 

Idk man, it's not employees you have to worry about, it's customers that ruin it when places like Meijer have a no limit policy. One guy bought five 4pks, and only because that was all that was left. If I didn't take my case, he probably would have =D

 

Didn't you buy 6 4 packs at once?

 

I look forward to Hopslam every year, one of my favorites... but another DIPA that people should try is Ten-Ninety's Imperial IPA. I think thats my new favorite... I'll still take a Hopslam whenever I can get it though

 

I see what you did there

 

HopSlam rhymes with Hot Damn. Coincidence, we think not!

 

A bunch of cases just came in at Hyvee. The price to me is a bit on the higher side, but closer to the "Ehhhh, alright", and further from the "Ehhhhh, na.

 

Oh I see.. you are trying to compare my local 6-pack price to your local singles price so that you can call me cheap. That's not how it works but I can play that game, check it out - Brewtago in York, PA. Dude split up his 6-pack to sell singles at $6.75 each. It's absurd and factually overpriced.

 

If it's not an IPA, then what is it? I completely disagree, unless you mean IIPA or Imperial IPA.

 

My local shop said he is getting his Hopslam on Tuesday (tomorrow). I will try to pick up 2-3 bottles, as I have way too much "beerventory" to warrant a six pack. Thankfully, he will do singles no problem.

 

I picked up a 6 for $20 on Friday, this year's batch is better than last year.

That said I don't feel the need to find more once my 6 are gone.

 

1st time post. I had my first ever Hopslam last night on draft in balmy southwest Florida which is pretty impressive considering we are a craft beer desert. It was fantastic. I could smell the honey but couldn't really taste it. Went down very smooth. Not a lot of alcohol flavor but at 10 % I could feel it. I liked the hop profile better than the Bells Two-Hearted that I had tried for the first time last week. I also liked that it wasn't overpowering with hops since I've only recently really started to enjoy IPAs and DIPAs. Very good overall and only paid 6 dollars.

 

My Ten-90 tasted infected. I got a sour waft when I was pouring it and knew I wasn't going to like it.

 

I drank a Hopslam last night, bottled on Jan 15. Not really into it...so If anyone wants 4 bottles, I'm happy to send them you way!

 

Got a six pack of it Monday its pretty good. I'm not sure if 18$ is worth it. It's only money I'll just live on hot dogs for a couple of days.

 

Ramen seems to be a "thing" now - skip the hot dogs in favor of a $.30 bag of Top Ramen to enjoy with that Hopslam, NOW you are trendy beyond imagine!

 

I honestly think these taste better with a little bit of age. I mean, they were originally intended to be shipped across the fucking ocean after all..

That said, every year Hopslam tastes a little less epic, but I think it has less to do with the quality of the beer (it's fantastic) than the fact that there's so much good shit out there atm.

 

I got my six-pack today in Cleveland... $17.99 for it.

Will crack one open shortly!
