Hopslam-less Holidays

No big surprise here, but Indiana is nearing the end of its supply of Bell's Hopslam. Only 300 cases came into the Hoosier State, over 30 of which went to The Hop Shop. Courtney tells me tonight that he only has two cases left. He said in all his years in the bidness, he's never seen a beer have so much buzz around it. The good news is that Bell's is going to brew another batch next week, but the bad news is that it won't hit the shelves here for about 5 weeks. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, fellow beer geeks, but that means no Hopslam for Christmas or New Years. Stock up now! If you know of a place with some stock left, please post it here.

  1. Kahn's at 54th/Keystone had quite a few cases left as of yesterday, if anyone's interested.

  2. I bet that Corks at 49th and Pennsylvania still has some left. In fact, I'm going to head there this evening to see if they do!

  3. As of a few days ago, 21st Amendment on Greyhound Pass in Carmel had a few 6 packs left. Just sorry I didn't buy all of them at the time!

  4. Another update on the Hopslam watch: As of 12/19/06, the new "Crown Liquors" on the Southeast corner of Rt. 37 and 146th St. in Noblesville/Fishers has SEVERAL six packs left. (Plus some interesting and less common Dogfish Head selections.) (Courtesy of my beer buddy, SPB.)
