  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Wow....The new brewery/restaurant down the street (too damn close to my B&M too) just put Bell's Hop Slam on tap. Very limited distribution...They got 1 keg (the entire distributor was give 8 barrels). The beer store up the street (Binny's, big chain around here) was given 10 cases of the stuff, already gone I'm told.

What an amazing beer...the aroma's and hop bite just make me want to crawl in the glass to nap. +10% ABV on top of it!

Hopslam is dangerously easy to drink for having such a high ABV. (Of course, that is why I like it).

Pretty much anything from Bell's is tasty. Oberon is my favorite and would love to have a couple bottles at the Leaf. Will definitely have to try the Hop Slam on tap, but like you said, it will probably be gone quickly.

Hopslam is one of my favorite Bell's beers. The bite fades a little with time, or so I've heard. I cant manage to keep a six pack around for more than a couple days. I think I'll have one tonight!
