Did you get yours?

I owned a couple shops that got HopSlam each year ... people would actually follow the delivery trucks to retailers ... we’d act like we had never heard of it and stash it for regulars.

Although I didn’t hate that money - one year we tapped a keg at noon on a Sat. - people lined up and we never shut the tap off once we opened it - drained a full 1/2bbl in 34 minutes.

Perhaps best DIPA
Pliny and HeadyTopper have a following

HopSlam is a cult classic
And in my opinion it never changes

Never was my thing. Too sweet for me.
Now there’s so much ... you can get Heady Topper whenever you want now. Pretty much had to a secret handshake back in the day.

You Vermont and New Hampshire guys are lucky to have so many great breweries in your back yard

There’s great beer damn near everywhere now.

Very true
Slow expansion over the past 6 years
Every beer is great now
Little infection
