    It hit my tummy here in Southern Indiana 8 days after it was bottled. Nothing better than looking at the date of January 2nd on the box and drinking it on the 10th.

    Love me some Hopslam. The beer buyer at the store I work at said he is expecting 25 cases this week which means i'll be able to buy as much as I can possible drink and all at a 20% discount!

    For people in the NW Chicago burbs, Binny's is getting it today. I bought two six packs at a local hole in the wall shop last night for $17 each. The guy there said he only got two cases, one guy bought one case, I bought two so there were two left.

    It's a Pennsylvania thing. It's complicated, but "distributor" in most cases means case-only store. We have some wacky laws up in this state.

    17.99 all over the city. I bought a case and a half at jungle jims.. They still have some but are running out fast.

    Got my case last night. I look forward to this day every year, and the beer always lives up to my excitement. I always have to remind myself its 10%, because I could drink this beer all night.

    Beer Crazy in Des Moines posted on their Facebook at 11:15 that they got in 120 bottles of Hopslam today. At 12:00 they posted again that it was all gone. Dammit.

    At least I know it has arrived in the area though, but it could be a chore tracking some down.

    Replying to myself because I can't edit - Binny's in Schaumburg has a decent size stack of cases out. Out the door it was $17.85.

    Delicious brew, from a mighty fine brewery. So glad that I have been able to enjoy
    such cosmically sublime beer.

    Hey, I love everything about HopSlam and soooooo look forward to getting it as soon as I can every year. I've come to like it for its absolute smooth character (thanks to the honey). I've never thougth of this as a Hop Bomb, allthough I've always found the draft to be way hoppier than the bottle. I'll be at a place tomorrow that will feature HopSlam, Green Bullet, Palate Wrecker, "And many more." I look forwards to my little head to head snifter" battles." Thanks.
