    people would go crazy with excitement for the great price if Bells started doing $6 bombers of Hopslam.

    Even $8 750's with a 3 bottle limit and fancy little hemp rope tag on it would get the IL plates moving.

    I don't see how $6 bombers is a good deal. Meijer sells Sixers for $15.99.

    What Meijer's gets Hopslam and sells it for 15.99? Are they just on the west side of the state? I have 5 Meijer's within a 15 mile radius and have never seen anything close to Hopslam being sold at them.

    My local meijer (Commerce) carries an impressively large selection of Michigan brews.

    Hopefully Woodman's on Gammon has a huge display again this year. Picked up two cases with no issues last year.

    I'm guessing you weren't looking very hard. It was all over columbus, some even sat at my local Kroger for over a month.

    I get exactly what you're saying. But definitely easier said than done.

    Only if you drink it fresh. Gotta cellar it to let some of the complexity emerge.

    OK, I didn't see a single bottle (then again I'm a bit outside the city and don't usually go all over the place to find beer). What Kroger location do you shop at? My local Kroger only carries Two Hearted and Oberon from Bell's IIRC. I know some of the "better" Kroger locations have amped up their beer selections. Hopslam is one of those beers that's lost appeal to me over the last couple years anyway. If it falls in my lap this year, I'll get some. Otherwise, I could care less.

    Time to clean out the fridge. :wink: Need to get a 2014 and then when this years comes out you can do a 4 year vertical. :astonished:

    I usually grab one six pack when I come across it, but if I never saw it, I wouldn't go out of my way either.
    I'm actually shop at a pretty average Kroger(Galloway), but I'm sure most locations will have some, not to mention the better beer stores will have plenty.

    Actually, I plan on doing a 5-year vertical. Needing a single bottle from this year's batch!
