It's always such a joyous celebration every year when Hopslime comes out. And I call it "Hopslime" affectionately. It's sooooo good. I work at the Whole Foods here in THIS TOWN, and the beer wench said Bell's wasn't releasing it until February, then I was in to get some Founders Double Trouble (a great DIPA, just not as good as Hopslam) and one of my pals was like "Dude, get some Hopslam." And I was all "HAW HAW" but then I looked and it was there in all its hoppy glory. I only managed to get one six pack before it sold out. Didn't think it would happen that fast. Maybe I should get one of those Hopslam minikegs this year.
You live in Cleveland? I'm a big fan of Great Lakes Brewing Company's Commadore Perry... super-good IPA for the low low price of $8.99. Can't go wrong.
Thanks everyone for keeping THE BEER THREAD(?)----->!!! alive!
Definitely will try to see if La Fin Du Monde is around here, but Tremens & Nocturnum are pretty good in my book. Also, it's surprising how many spring varieties are popping up already. It's the middle of January, guys!
Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?

I first had La Fin Du Monde at a dinner in Disney World. Slammed 5 bottles during dinner and was majorly wasted. I almost fell in the the big lake in Epcot.

YAAAAAAAH!
Definitely my comfort beer. If you look back far enough in this thread, I'm sure I've already said this, but I describe it as like drinking an electric blanket.

Dogfish Head Burton Baton for me.
Next year Burton becomes one of the Year Round Brews. I saw the huge oak barrels that they store it in. It's quite amazing.
The one in the back is for all the Palo Santo Marron. The other 2 are for the Burton Baton. I think they've added 2 more. The parking lot has the remains of a couple old, used-up barrels.

Last night was good: Old Speckled Hen on tap, followed by Revival (a new PVD local brewing co.) Imperial Stout. Much happiness was had by all in my belly.
