plenzmd1 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Long story, but just pried two six packs of Hopslam out of the Total Wine on Broad Street in Richmond. not supoosed to go on sale till tomorrow, bur cried to them i am out of town for the weekend staring tomorrow(true) and they sold me two sixers(limit per customer).BTW, i am a loyal customer there. No other reason for the post except to say NANA to those jonesin for some...and to alert any Richmond hopheads go grab em..open till 10Pm tonight. Talking to several people at the kickoff party last Night at the Mekong, this stuff will be sold out by 11 tomorrow, as they only have 7 cases(now 6 1/2). God love me some Hopslam..almost like it grows in cow poop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Nice. I've heard about the stuff but don't think we can get it here in WNY. As a consolation, Troeg's Nugget Nectar is being released this week so that's not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I haven't had the pleasure of trying Hopslam yet but Bell's regular strength IPA, Two Hearted Ale, is probably my favorite IPA. It will be tough to dethrone Pliny The Elder for the top spot on my imperial IPA rankings though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is awesome..and I am excited about that as well. At least here in Richmond, Nectar was readily avaialbale and priced well ($38 for a case) at the Total wine for a good month last year.

The Poojer Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 absolutely be on the look out for some Pliny the Younger....very hard to find on this coast, but keep your eyes open at commerical tap house, mekong or cap ale...or even contact them to see if you can entice them to get a barrel. but be ready because if word gets out, it will go fast. People waited in line for a pub to open here on the main line when they heard they were gonna have some Younger on tap. Gotta check out my local establishments for the hopslam, sounds like a killer beer.... Have heard that is some great stuff, but have never had the oppurtunity to sample it.

As a consolation, Troeg's Nugget Nectar is being released this week so that's not too bad. So the Nectar has found its way to the Total Wine on Broad Street in Richmond. They got 24 cases delivered last night. I just relieved them of 4. Not to bad a price at $43/case. BTW, was talking to the Bells distributor in there..that location is getting two of the Hopslam mini kegs this afternoon..they will not reserve them for anybody, so if your in richmond around 3 and a Slam lover, there ya go.I am on a train to DC at that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Walgreens, in "a wise marketing decision," has been up front about the fact that it's not aiming for quality, soon afterwards the brilliant marketing team was fired.....

It is a nice beer..loaded up on it so have some for the next few months. Have not tried the Bigfoot. But, I Was in DC couple of weeks ago, and attended a Great Lakes tasting event. Had their Dortmunder Gold Lageri think would be great more in the summer..actually enjoyed this more than i thought I would. Edmund Fitzgerald Porter that was very nice..I am not a huge Porter fan but enjoyed this and bought some for those cold nights when a Porter is needed Commodore Perry IPA..Was okay, but prefer other IPA's Last night, had Founders Red Rye Pale Ale on tap..man I love that stuff!!!! Might have to get some of that for the fridge as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
