I saw the commercial with that in it. I went and looked up the price and then began laughing. I then proceeded to go buy PBR light, out of spite.

Its actually Utopias.

And it does taste pretty good. Has a fruit like taste to it I thought. Not sure how you get a 27% alcohol beer to taste fruity. Stuff costs around 200 bucks for the 'of year' bottle, more if you want a bit older of one. Still don't know why my friend spend so much money on essentially a 5th of beer.

Oh yeah, and I remember someone ( jughead I think) saying Bells two hearted ale wasn't that good. BS, Its delicious. I was drinking one last night and thinking to myself " how could someone not love this". So damn good.

It's good. I just think there are a numerous amount of better IPAs out there.

I never thought about checking them out as having a good selection. There is a Woodmans right off of highway 41 correct?

Drowe, where are you? I'm trying to decide if i want to drop 15 bucks on a six pack of it. Need some input. I Know you're a bells ****.

Hopslam is pretty tasty if you like that German type strong taste, but ya its quite expensive. The upside to it being 16 dollars is alcohol wise 1 hopslam is equivalent to a little over 3 normal beers. Its very strong, in taste and alcohol percentage (I want to say its 17%).

Brent · 01-30-2009, 08:55 PM

24oz bottles were on sale at Spec's. Win.

I have a bunch of Stella Artois glasses but have never actually drank it. I like to make white russians in them!

Brent · 01-30-2009, 09:02 PM

I find Stella to be good. And for the price, I certainly cannot complain.

Never had the chance to try hopslam, but I know it shouldn't taste German at all and it's somewhere around 10% ABV.

Youre right it is around 10%, still rather strong. But to me it does taste like a bitter German beer. Especially the after taste that it leaves. I had some right from the tap up at the Bell's brewery in K-Zoo as well.

I've been liking Trader Joe's for getting beer lately. They have a lot of knock off beers of more expensive stuff. For example, they have Hopsfest instead of Hopslam. Goes for a lot of other types of beer, except they all cost around 4-5 dollars a sixer and are 100% better than similarly priced beer from the liquor store.

They started stocking Three Philosophers at the liquor store here.

That's supposed to be pretty tasty, right? I saw it was like 9.8%, which is nuts.

So my friend just got a job at the local "specialty" liquor store here in town about a month ago. Last night he informs me that he can sell me anything I want at a huge reduced cost. I got the Hopslam for 4 bucks a six pack( reg $16) and a 750 of Crown Royal Special reserve for 10 bucks(reg $50). This is awesome.

That was my recommendation earlier in the thread and one of my personal favorites. If you're a beer drinker you won't be disappointed, definitely worth the buy.

I just got back from the liquor store and got a bottle. I remembered someone suggesting it so I figured it was worth the try ($8 bucks or so for a bottle).
