I recently had a few pints of Bell's Hopslam at The Map Room a few weeks ago.
http://www.bellsbeer.com/brands/info/22By far, my favorite beer I have had in recent memory. I am not great at describing beer, but it is just so hoppy but juicy and balanced. I know...it is a terrible description.
Regardless...I need more of this beer. I recently visited my local Binny's and the manager informed me that this particular brew is always an extremely limited run, only brewed once a year. Apparently Chicago gets a single distribution....and then it is all over until next year, and I just missed the time when it was readily available.
Perhaps I mis-understood, but it seems like I might have to wait a whole YEAR to have this again.
Does anyone have any suggestions of a place I could check to see if it is still in stock? It needs to be a store that has a fairly deep beer selection, but maybe doesn't get a super high amount of traffic...
The Binny's manager assured me that all the Binny's were totally out.
Maybe I am just out of luck, but any suggestions would be much appreciated. BTW, I am willing to drive to Wisconsin, depending on how far north it is.
Thanks!
