Hopslam in DC/NOVA

6 cases at the new spot at H and 5th northeast fwiw

 

Not sure what's up with the batch I got my sixer from (1/15), huge disappointment. Didn't even taste like the hopslam I've had over the past few years. I doubted the negative reviews at first but after having a couple tonight I fully agree with them.

 

Are you talking about Boundary Road or is there another new place there I'm unaware of?

 

They're calling themselves Capitol fine wines I think. They are directly across the street from boundary road. Brand new, staff is nice, and selection is surprising. I saw Sucks, Hopslam, and 3beans in there for some of the lowest prices in the city.Decent bourbon selection, too

 

I received 18 cases this morning, 2 1/2 gone thus far. $19.99/6 and a 2 pack limit.

 

It tastes different because it is easier to get now.

 

If folks are still looking for it in NWDC Broad Branch Market has it for 21.99 a sixer

 

Rodman's had 3 Cases left as of 5:30pm today. $24.99 a sixer.

 

The only reason it might be easier to get is because it doesn't taste as good as past years releases and people aren't buying as much this year (I bought 1 sixer this year vs. 1.5 cases last year, no plans to buy anymore). Whoever thinks it's on par with prior years I'd like to know what batch you are drinking from. This was was favorite beer, now it's not even in my top 20, not even close.

 

Dean and Delucca in Georgetown has the 1/15 batch.

 

Evolution just distro'd their Lot No. 6 DIPA in four packs this week. Do yourself a favor and grab some. Far more enjoyable than the Hopslam I had.

 

I've never been one for Hypeslam. That said, this year's Nugget Nectar is surprisingly good.

 

Surprise to me but I got word last night that most Trader Joe's in Nova should be each getting at least 5 cases of Hopslam today. There won't be any case limit and I'm not sure on the price although I bet it will be very competitive. Call ahead first just to make sure or hit me up and I'll see what I can set aside at Baily's Crossroads.

 

I was kind of shocked last time I went to Tjs they started selling Bell's, I was wondering if they'd get Hopslam.

 

Yeah we recently started working with Hop and Wine (who distributes Bell's among others) but we get a fairly small list of what we can order from them. I guess the powers at be have finally gotten sick of the emails we've been sending them about wanting more limited releases.

 

Anyone still looking for this in the Herndon/Reston area?

 

Looks like we didn't get our delivery yesterday like we usually do. Maybe this afternoon or tomorrow but we shall see....

 

I was just at MOMs Organic Market in Herndon, they got 2 sixers left just chillin on the shelf

 

I know D'Vine's in DC had some, as of last night at 9:45pm... $21/6pk though.
