    They have expanded the number of tanks at the production brewery. Coincidence?

    Usually it lasts until mid-to-late February.

    Had 3 last night and it's just as good as ever. So balanced and drinkable.

    I think it was released on a Thursday at the General store last year and lasted til maybe the Thursday of the next week? I might be wrong.

    Bell's General store is sold out of cases, six packs and singles are most likely also gone. I do not know if the General Store will get another shipment of Hopslam.

    If the case limit was not 7, Hopslam would have probably lasted longer in the store.

    Of course it's a joke. They may have run out of their supply for the day but more would be shipped from the brewery to the General Store tomorrow or no later than the day after.

    Landed in TC today. BevCo had 50 cases at noon for $16.99 per 6-pack.

    So apparently it lasted a whopping 15-20 minutes at a store in Royal Oak...with a line. At 2pm on a Wednesday!

    Having never waited in a line for the likes of GLBC Chillwave, this is either the best ever or the most over-hyped. :slight_smile: I'm hoping for the former.

    I wish it was a joke. I didn't expect it at all. The last thing there was a line for, that I know of, was Bourbon County...

    And a 2 6-pack limit at another nearby store (Clawson) just sold out in under 50 minutes...

    That's what I thought, time to prepare better for the next shipment, and the next year. Close by, check Kroger Birmingham 15 and Woodward tomorrow or Meijer Royal Oak, 14 and Coolidge today.

    Neither, this is just today's overblown craft beer scene landscape.

    I thought about this too, it doesn't look like it'll even hit draft until next week.
