Bell's Hopslam (2014)

My area was "supposed" to get it this week. Distributors told the stores that we won't get it until first or second week of February now.

 

Hopefully it turns out to be the Hopslam that opened my eyes many years ago, last year I had a few on tap, but it didn't excite me enough to spend 17-18 bucks on a sixer. Now that I can get Hop Drop even though it's an IPA, I won't sweat running around looking for a very over priced brews like this.

 

I always love reading about it sitting on shelves in some areas and then living with the reality that it sells out immediately in the area closest to me. F'n hipster Royal Oakers.

 

guess i should have shopped around, i payed 19.99 for my sixers got 2. i read others payed that much so i thought that was the norm. sux bein a noobie.

 

Thanks for the head's up, after I got through my pack I'll resupply over there.

 

Looking forward to this when it comes in on Monday. A local store here does a case pre-order for $13.88/sixer every year. My wife and I love this beer, so it doesn't last long in my house.

 

Most of the Busch's seem to have it in stock again. Same price. My store told me a strict limit of 2 6's per customer, but let me walk out with a case anyways.

Bottled 1/11/14..

 

What area are you in? I'm here in central Illinois and I'm being told the same.

 

I LOVE HDR. Got it via my first and only trade so far. Maybe the best IPA I've had.

 

Just picked up a case for 61.99 before tax.

 

Fairly certain Bells does NOT distribute to MD, NJ and the NYC area, New York State gets it since that market just opened up last fall, and they're moving to NYC in February...but. It the seasonals just the year round beers...

Hoping to see it in VA in about 10 days...on a couple of lists in my area...love it, but I've also been doing. A ton of beer trading with friends out west and have got a bunch of west coast goodies heading east

 

Any sightings in Western PA?

 

I've traded it straight up for HT, so others like it too.HDR is really that good IMO.

 

HDR kills! Just got a 4 pack for DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus!

 

It's usually a staple as xtras now, share the goodness so guys get a shot to see how good it is.

 

Wow, I wonder if I could do that with Abrasive

 

I would , and why not? HT is a year round brew Abrasive is not and it's more expensive. If i had a steady supply of HT I'd be shipping it everywhere, and certainly for Abrasive which is as good if not a bit different. Abrasive is crazy good.

 

Anyone know of any in North Dakota or Arizona yet? Please let me know.

 

Love Abrasive! Just got 8 from France44.com...canned on 12-26-13...went through 5 cases last year...

 

Im thinking of ordering some for Super Bowl. Hell i am, doing it now.

Done, simple easy 3 minute phone call.
