not buying anymore Hopslam until they start putting it in vortex bottles to enhance the flavor.

$18 Hopslam sixpacks is meh- until you consider Hoppin Frog Hopdam costs $13/bomber.. then it’s like meh. Then you realize breweries are charging way too much for meh. Then you buy a $6 bottle of Rochefort 10 and are like YA! Then you’re like wtf.

Drank three cases the first year HopSlam was released. Don’t know if I burned out on it or whether it really is a lesser product these days, but I don’t even buy 6 packs these days.

I bought a six pack recently and have to say that it is not as good a last year. Aroma and taste are muted. Still very good though. My all time favorite is Stone's 10th Anniversary Ruination, amazing....

In my opinion, the beer goes wrong in the finish. I get a very astringent/chemical taste that makes it undrinkable. I bought one bottle just to try it this year.

All I know is I’m tired of people seeing that it’s "out now" and calling my store 100 times a day asking for it because they’re not smart enough to read the whole release schedule and see it’s not here yet.
