have you tested it to see that it won't burn throught the plastic cups :lol:
"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.

Great....I was expecting it to be busy, but was hoping to get down there early enough to beat a bit of the after work rush.

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.

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.

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.
