tried it last year after all the hoopla.

wasn't that impressed.

How fresh was you bottle?

And if I recall, a year ago you hated anything hoppy.

it was fresh.  should i let it sit for a month or two first?

i'll try it again.  in fact, my local shoppeee  just got it.

No, you want to drink that one asap.

Anybody know if there will be a second round of Nugget Nectar? Definitely want to get some but i still have 12 L. Sucks, four Hopslams, and three Double Troubles to drink!

You have some time.  NN hung around a pretty long time last year.  It's not like certain brands that are gone as soon as they arrive.

Tonite's list:

Breckenridge Small Batch 471
Bell's Hopslam
Troegs Nugget Nectar
Bell's Two-Hearted

Yeah, but i'm wondering if there's going to be a second batch. If I wait and buy in late March or whenever, I want some that's fresh, not some that's been sitting on the shelf for a month.

Second batch of Hopslam is hitting stores this week.

That's what happens when you accept orders over the phone.

I know one place that will no doubt have it if i tried. But i'm sticking to my guns and not buying any more this year.

Going to Kansas City this weekend. Will hopefully bring back some Boulevard Tank 7. Doubt I will be able to come across any Chocolate Ale.

Schneiders had quite a bit still late last night.  They didn't put any on the floor, so you had to ask for it which I imagine kept it from vanishing very quick.  May be worth giving a call.

Found some last weekend. There is definitely a serious amount of hops in it (great aroma), and it costs $20+ for a six-pack.  No clue what the hype is about, but I'm consistently underwhelmed with Bells.

Anyone ever stop into Virginia Market on 18th and U?  Just found that place, they have amazing selection.

Also - Nugget Nectar this week.

For me:

Hopslam=Great
Two Hearted=Very Good
Double Cream Stout=Very Good
All other Bell's beers (and I've had a bunch of them)=Average to Good
