Nice, I had been looking out for it, forgot about it, and you reminded me
Added a reminder for the next time we hit a store for supplies
Hop Slam is DIPA by the brewery BELLS from Michigan, my favorite beer.

Hope you find some.Nice, I had been looking out for it, forgot about it, and you reminded me
Ah, thank you for your kind explanation. Much appreciated.
So, a double IPA, then?
Well, may you thoroughly enjoy it.
Yeah, the local chain liquor store has a pretty solid microbrew selection, then we have one (they do actually have 3 stores ...) that's got a *massive* selection - and both carry most/all the other Bell's products. I'll post when I score it
Yes double ipa, no other way to go, AND oh yes I will enjoy some once this work day is over.

Nice let me know how it goes! I live in New Jersey so no Bells here, I always trade with buddy in Michigan and I drive PA to get it as well.Yeah, the local chain liquor store has a pretty solid microbrew selection, then we have one (they do actually have 3 stores ...) that's got a *massive* selection - and both carry most/all the other Bell's products.

Citrus nuanced IPAs are charming. Very refreshing.
If you find yourself in the Bay Area, both Fieldwork and Alpha Acid are making quite a few in this vein.
Quite good, they're very much my style, dry and fruity, citrusy IPAs, tasty stouts and some sours. Alpha Acid has been around for only 2.5 years, and they're basically operating out of a garage in an industrial park. But they're getting distributed around the area bars. Fieldwork must have scored some ambitious funding because they look like they are in the midst of huge growth. You might find them down south soon.
Don't get me wrong I love my stouts in the winter, but Hop Slam only comes out in February So gotta get it and drink it while its nice and fresh.
I just looked this up, this looks delicious. An DIPA with honey! Count me in! With a 70 IBU count that is not to bad actually for a DIPA! I have added it to my list since I can get this at some of my local sellers.

My local wine & beer store did a stock earlier this week, and last week, and when I showed my features there today, they revealed that the stock take had yielded a treasure trove or two.
Such as a crate of the legendary "Yellow Belly" stout brewed by the excellent Buxton Brewery.

I believe that Omnipollo, Stockholm had a hand in brewing 'Yellow Belly'.
They did, and it is a superb stout - beautifully balanced, rich, luscious, with a wonderful depth of flavour.
Actually, I cannot recommend it highly enough - it easily ranks with the best of the Belgian quads.
Fantastic label design! Very unique. Let us know how it is! I had plans on consuming a couple of beers I picked up this morning but I felt some tenseness in my throat from my afternoon nap. Fearing I'm coming down with something, I chose to abstain. But I did what any sensible fellow did and made a hot toddy with a small side of extra brandy. Going to have another one soon sans honey and then wool cap on and go to bed. Just my luck.
May be able to get my hands on Yellow Spot soon. Fingers crossed, of course. First come, first serve at many retailers who offer it. No reservations.

What a lovely label; I hope it tastes as good as it looks.
Do enjoy.
Wow! It's pretty fantastic. Citrus/grapefruit hops but not overly intense, a little malty, perfect amount of honey that sweetens the finish, really smooth and creamy, doesn't seem at all like a 10% ABV brew.
