Anyone get their hands on Hopslam yet this year?
I was just told that a local store will be getting theirs tomorrow...and I'll be there.

I stopped in to a store where I saw it last year and asked if they got any this year. The owner told me to stop by again tomorrow and he would have it on the shelves.
I actually like regular IPA better than these DIPA's but it is cool to get a six or so of them once a year when they're available. Plus my hop tolerance seems to be going up these days so maybe I'll enjoy it more than I remember from last year.
I still think Two Hearted is a superior beer.

I've really been enjoying Greenbush's Brother Benjamin lately. It's another 10% IPA with honey, so if you haven't had one yet I'd say pick out a bottle and see which one wins. Probably not a good idea to drink them back to back though. 
. Both are winners but the BB is super balanced and I've been loving it lately.
Huge Two Hearted fan here too.

We have a ton of it out in Ann Arbor. If our looking for it almost every liquor store in Ann Arbor has stacks of it.

Grabbed a 6 almost as soon as it came off the truck. About 2 this afternoon. Gave away 2 to my boss already. Kahns in Indy had several cases by the door.
Picked up a sixer for me and one for my friend the other day. Love that stuff!
Brother Benjamin is also a great beer. I've been impressed with Greenbush beers.

I agree...all the Greenbush I have tasted so far has been pretty tasty

I'm debating whether to buy 12 or a case when I go see the guy today.
I got 2 cases last week and another yesterday. Seems like alot of places in Metro Detroit are limiting to 1 or 2 6 packs per customer. At least Busch's is. They also seem to have the best price, as far as I have seen..
None that I've seen in OH yet. I've heard after 1/20 so hopefully soon.

Score!!

$16.99/ 6 by the way. But the store owner must have given me a break for 12 because I got change on $35 and we have 6% tax and $0.10 deposit.

What part of the metro area are you from? I would love to be in a club if I can make the time for it. 3 young kids in various activities right now so it is tough enough to find time to brew let alone to meet with a club.
EDIT: never mind, I see that you said "Royal Oak" earlier. That's not too far but certainly not right around the corner. I am in northern Macomb County.
I'm in Royal Oak. I'm envisioning something perhaps monthly. Not sure if this currently exists, but it'd be cool to have a HB meet-up once in a while for us in this area.

Hmmm ... seems the instant I bought those the beers the clock in my office stopped moving.
Plymouth and Taylor/A2 would be a haul for me. Maybe I can find something closer to Royal Oak. I think Kuhnhenn's in Warren used to have one.

I do not much like you right now.

Picked up a case last Friday at Bells General store. Went back in on Sunday to buy a couple of six packs for my brother in law and they were sold out. I just heard they will be getting more in soon.... but I have mine!

Thank goodness, on a side note it looks like there is a straw in your beer, but its just the paper towel seperator

Haha...I noticed that, too. I was wondering if someone would ask if I was sucking it through a straw.

Was not aware this was a sought after beer. My local liquor store has it in sixers...
