"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I know of at least two others besides me who are going. I won't be staying until 7:30 though - I'm sure someone will be there.pet lion wrote:Anyone going to be there in the evening? I"m off work at 7:30 and already downtown. Not sure if any of my other drinkings buds can make it today.

G & I are going down once I get home from work - although the rain looks shitty. Probably won't stay too late either as I have lots to do tonight.

With the all Columbus hop this is a very different beast than years past. Still an enjoyable super hopped and super strong beer.

Re: Official Hart & Thistle Thread
I enjoyed it. I agree with Pet Lion that it's a different beast. It didn't scream at me as I expected it to. Pleasant and easy to drink.
What bugged me is that it seems the Hoppy Tuesday special is gone? The last time I was down I paid in a rush and noticed later. Last night I asked and they had no idea what I was talking about.
