    Drank three glasses of this at the bar last night. Sooooo tasty. Tastes like drinking a glass of grapefruit juice beer. Just delicious, the flavor coats your tongue and makes you want to keep on drinking

    I love Hopslam! It's one of those beers I always eagerly anticipate year in and year out .

    I hear this beer it terrible this year. I also hear it is over priced. Please don't buy it, especially if you live near me!

    Oh, yikes. They're further away than some beer stores I like in PA and OH. That could explain why I've never heard of them :wink:

    Interesting news that they're supposedly going to be shipping some to the WNY market after all, in contrast to what had been said when they announced their presence last year. So great...now I have to decide if I want to shell out the money for a little if I actually see it somewhere. Hmmmm.

    Cant wait, last year was first year trying. My guy at the L store suggested going ahead and buying the case, they basically discount one 6er. Should've listened!!! Bought a $20 6er, and another, and another and another! Needless to say, will be buying a case this year.

    I grew up with one of the owners of DeCicco's, just asked him and he confirmed they will have it.

    Damn. Not going to be anywhere near Arizona (Vegas) until late March. Would consider just driving over, but will be too late.

    I think its the week of the 20th. I'm sure we'll see it on the 21st and 22nd (depending on the store).

    Anyone know the best spots to look in the Syracuse area? I'm assuming Dewitt Wegmans and Brillbecks will have it

    I've moved to NJ, so this is making it much harder to procure. I'm about an hour away from Easton or Bethlehem, but I don't know the stores very well. Anyone on here know the stores that are generally big Bell's sellers in that area? I looked at the beer finder and it's only generically helpful.

    Well, if you are buying for buddies too, pretty easily. I could easily go through 2X 6-packs per week.
