As expensive as it is, I paid about $17 a sixer, its only $2 more than a lot of other Bell's products. And personally I don't mind paying that much when I pay upwards of $20 for some of the special releases that come in 750ml bottles.

No Bells? That's a crime. Hopslam is the best double IPA I've ever had.

By a small margin. Hopslam is very unique because of the honey. Dreadnaught or Arctic Panzer may be 2 and 3 for me. Double Trouble is also up there.

Have you tried this years Surly Abrasive yet? Had one back to back with a Double Trouble the other day and the Abrasive was quite a bit better. Haven't had the pleasure of trying this years Hopslam yet.

Honestly Bill, I'd take a fresh pour of Dreadnaught at the Three Floyds pub over Hopslam any day of the week. I love FFF's brewpub.

No Bell's - I think the closest was PA or something when I looked before.
No Founders in NH. Apparently in VT which is just a few miles away but I haven't figured out where to get it yet.


To make myself feel better I was looking at Binnys, hoping to see that they didn't have some of the breweries closer to here like Smuttynose or Clown Shoes. But no such luck, they have it all

Well, they don't have Rock Art. I've only had the Vermonster - it was pretty good, not the best thing ever though.
