    Since Bell's doesn't officially hit distribution in NYC until Feb 10, I've been getting my fix by driving to some old stand-bys in Westchester county. Stocks of the year-round and seasonal brews are pretty well established, but have not heard anything definitive regarding Hopslam.

    Has anyone seen or heard about it coming to our neck of the woods?

    Yes. Ships the week of 1%2F20 from Bells. Other than that you're guess is as good as mine as far as amounts and shelf dates. Is imagine it will be pretty limited as initially we weren't going to get any due to %22production%22. Our allocation must be skimmed from other markets.

    What's "non-downstate"?

    Talked to one of my go-to beer guys yesterday, and he said the rep confirmed that WNY (at least Rochester, specifically) will be seeing it. Exact numbers are still TBD, and the rep told him that it wouldn't be enough to go everywhere - just "special accounts".

    Downstate = NYC specifically. I know WNY and Hudson Valley have been distributing Bells since November, but NYC starts next month.

    Have a friend who posted to their FB regarding LI so I'd assume you'll get it.

    I hope some of the the typical Rochester spots (Nathaniel's, AJ's, etc) get Hopslam.
