Bell's Hopslam 2016

You live near hilton head? B

 

No, Charleston. Not too far from Hilton Head though.

 

Do people describe Pliny as a "bargain"? Not that I'm aware of. More to the point, I like Hopslam, but it's no Pliny.

Any word on North Carolina? Seems like it's always late here.

 

Central PA westy's beer released hopslam at 9 AM. Only 50 cases sold on-site and already sold out. Should start appearing at at other local places they distribute to in the area.

This week in NC, I hear.

 

A few places in the Los Angeles area have received Hopslam today! Per their respective IG accounts...

 

Just got the last 6 pack from MB piggly wiggly market common. Sold out really fast!

 

yes, it's finally hitting LA this week...I picked up a 6-pack in Pasadena today

 

I buckled and got the $20 sixer, just for the novelty (and I've only been able to purchase it one other time, almost a year ago exactly)...and to me last year's was better. This one is way boozy to me. I drank it on my train ride home and I was kinda fucked up on an empty stomach, and tried to dig outta the whole the rest of the night (I didn't, and 3 Old Style tall boys did nothing to help find my balance). I still like it though, but I'm gonna eat something first and settle in and not go anywhere. But last years seemed fruitier, more different flavors going on.

 

Just picked up a 6 pack outside of Kansas City. First pack of it I've seen this year, and they were already getting low. Expected to be out by tonight.

 

Whole Foods, Foggy Bottom (Washington, DC).

 

It cracks me up that people stand in line for this stuff. It is a really good DIPA, but I cannot see standing in any kind of line for it.

 

Wilmington, NC got it today. 17.99 a six pack

 

2016 Hopslam on tap at the Blind Pig Brewery in Champaign Illinois!

 

Yes, at Happy Harry's in Fargo!
I was tempted to buy it. And I should have.
Bought 1 six-pack, thinking I would find more. But no!!!!

 

scored a case for $80 + tax of course. split it with 5 others and enjoyed one last night. will I ever buy again? probably not, too expensive for my wallet.
