    I love pilsners, so calling it a pilsner isn't a kick in the nuts, per se. But a DIPA shouldn't have more in common with a pilsner than a DIPA. I've been drinking it since 2006 as well. As someone stated above, perhaps it's just bad cans? I have another six pack but I'm afraid to open it to be honest.

    There is a shipping schedule on the Bell's website. I have been watching closely, since it a *sought after* allocation. Just picked up a case canned on 1/17/18. Will be sure to finish it fresh, as recommended.

    I used to drink pilsners a year ago. This is not a pilsner or session. I find the 2018 hoppy, which I like, as compared to a DIPA balanced with too much malts.

    Any Hopslam still hanging around SE MI? Preferably North Oakland?
    Looking to get 2-5 sixers for a friend.
    Thanks

    Thanks I should have followed up.
    I picked up my case yesterday at Holiday.
    Seems there was another SE MI drop this week.
    My cans were 1/24/18 fwiw

    Lots of Hopslam nostalgia here. I do kinda miss the thrill of the hunt pre production ramp up. Just had a couple last night and even with the plethora of excellent DIPA's flooding the market Hopslam still holds up pretty well.
