    I was there last night just before they closed for the night and asked why they didn't have any cold ones in the fridge. He said they couldn't keep them in stock long enough.

    Keg Liquors in Clarksville had them in stock. Had about 8-10 cases on the floor last night.

    120 cases in 2.5 hours...that's awesome. Amazing the effect this beer has on people.

    Got two six packs from French Landing in Belleville. Had it on the draft at Frasers in Ann Arbor Tuesday night and it was as good as ever

    Yeah, and last year they had a 2 case limit and this year reduced to a 1 case limit. He said next year he may need to go with a 1 or 2 six pack limit.

    Jeez! And the local store owners in WI are indicating to me that last year, they had Hopslam sitting on the shelves till April.

    They probably did...Bell's will do (at least) three releases of Hopslam thru the winter and into the early spring...I think mid March was the latest brew day from last year.

    Doesn't mean we're all getting a second or third shot though. I'm hearing we may or may not in SE Mich, just have to see. I'll be good with the couple cases I got for now.

    Last hear Hopslam hit WI (at least the Milwaukee area) in mid Feb (I think the bottling date was like 2/10 or something like that). There was a LOT of it in the city, which was very nice. Hopefully it's as easy to get this year.

    Yep, should be pretty easy to compile a list about all this frequent absurdity immobilisme has spewed towards MI beers and breweries. You've had hours already, don't hold back. I expect bullet points and bold lettering highlighting extra absurd rants. Bonus points granted for chronological order.

    I will gladly turn your findings into a PowerPoint presentation for submission to PureMichigan in hopes to squash their ploy to lure unsuspecting tourists to your wasteland of a state.

    Thank you.
