Bell's Hopslam (2014)

I've been getting the run-around from a lot of the bottle shops in my area. The manager of the Giant Food Store beer annex says "we don't carry that" and then "we got it last year and it sold fast but we probably won't get any this year". Other bottle shops play the cryptic mind games with me. I've even had one person laugh at me. My case store sounds like it will only get 1 case and they say 28th or maybe into February. I've found my patience wearing thin. Anyone know when it's going to hit Pennsylvania? I seriously would love to just try this beer once without having a damn HA. HA = heart attack.

 

It is delicious.

 

I have several cases.

 

Haha, whoops. Never gotten my hands on it before, and I just assumed it came in 4-packs like so many other limited/seasonal release 12 oz bottles do these days.

(but honestly, if I got 4 bottles I'd be just as happy--I'll probably end up sending a couple to friends of mine out West anyway)

 

I've had a bunch of them already! It might not be the best beer I've ever had but DAMN it's dangerous. 10% with unbelievable balance. So, when you're drinking it, you're like 'this is pretty good' but it doesn't change your life. When you realize the ABV and how much skill it takes to balance that, just, WOW.

 

Anyone know when we can expect it to hit Florida? I'm dying to pick up a 6 pack

 

Still haven't seen any in IL...well, I know certain stores have gotten it near me but I haven't come across any yet

 

Picking mine up tonight! Gonna make an Expedition/Hopslam black & tan! I'm not bluffing! Keep an eye on the 'What Beer are you Drinking Now' thread!

 

Hopslam has landed in Milwaukee - Ray's Wine & Spirits in Wauwatosa

$17.99 6-pk / $69.99 a case

Bottling Date is 1/16/14

 

Pensacola hasn't seen any yet... well bottles that is. I think we got some tapped at least at one bottle shop/restaurant in town, but that's it I believe.

 

Apparently you can pick it up today and probably tomorrow at Shangys, located in Emmaus PA. They will sell you 1 case.

 

Bell's has sold that at the Brewery before, it's called an X-Slam. I had it at the Roll Out The Barrel party there & it's pretty good but left me wanting. It could be that there were just so many amazing barrel beers there that X-Slam didn't have a chance to stand out

 

All Binnys have sold out of two separate shipments already.... :/ sorry man

 

This is false, Bolingbrook Binny's is releasing theirs tonight at 6PM and Plainfield Binny's has not gotten theirs yet.

Downers Grove and Naperville got their one shipment thus far last week and both sold out same day.

 

Binnys buffalo grove sold 30+ cases in a little over an hour yesterday and they started selling at open.

 

As of Noon, Mike's in Waldo (Kansas City) had a couple cases left.

 

EDIT: Chicago Binnys. Haha, and im not even sure if thats true. Just what I was told by a Binnys rep.

 

Anyone find this in NY yet?

 

anyone seen in NY? Specifically the Syracuse area?

 

was gonna ask the same thing. havent seen it in NY yet
