    Binny's in Schaumburg got it yesterday and sold out. Binny's Niles got it this morning - one 6 pack limit behind the counter.

    This years is excellent as usual. Even though my palate has developed over the past 8+ years this beer will always be considered my first "whale." Something I noticed different with this years batch is the cloudiness. Is anyone else noticing the cloudiness? Still a wonderful brew despite the plethora of options today.

    *repeat from Chicago area post: Yeah - git yo ass to get it now - flying outta there! Seen it at Woodmans and Binny's but hoping our Chicago area Meijers get some too. But some local shops are brutal - jacking the price of the mini-kegs to near $50 when WI shops had them as low as $35...better off getting 2-3 six-packs at $18 each.
    BTW - it's delicious! (cans dated 1/26/16)

    None in Alabama yet. Anyone seen in the Southeast (of the states it comes to)?

    We get Bells beer's here in Maryland but was told Hopslam will not be sent to Maryland. Boo.

    Any truth to that @LarryBell

    Binny's Lakeview still had plenty of it today, so I don't know if it's that crazy. Whole Foods is still getting it next week, as well as some other Binny's. I don't doubt the smaller shops jacking up the price, though.

    This usually sits around at NC distributors for a while before hitting shelves. Last year we didn't see it until early February if I remember correctly.

    any idea if Southern California is supposed to get this? I realize that Bell's only started distributing here fairly recently...
