Classing it up.
January 27th, 2012 at 8:47 PM ^
I don't even know when I've seen that lately. The last time I saw it a 12 pack would cost you like $6.
January 27th, 2012 at 8:49 PM ^
It's Campus Corner's "special."
January 27th, 2012 at 8:28 PM ^
Congrats and best wishes for a healthy baby. Let 'em cook I say - prematurity is a scary proposition I hear.
Unfortunately I only caught the Friday night gloaming on my way home tonight, instead of from my living room window. Looking forward to catching it more often as the spring/summer arrive.
I downed a pretty fuckin stiff shot of shitty vokda as soon as I walked in the door. Then I cupped my jaw in my hand and pinched in towards my chin to feel the status of my facial hair. Pleased, I then pounded on the counter twice with the butt of my fist as the burning ventured down my esophagus. And now I'll endulge in some more shitty vodka and perhaps listen to a record.
January 27th, 2012 at 8:40 PM ^
solid bro. solid.
January 27th, 2012 at 8:30 PM ^
It's my firm belief, that Journey sounds much better with a good buzz.
January 27th, 2012 at 8:38 PM ^
Journey is NOT overrated, I demand a retract of that overrated moderation.
January 27th, 2012 at 8:30 PM ^
Vodka + OJ.
January 27th, 2012 at 8:46 PM ^
Unfortunately I'm drinking absolut. Not too smooth, but still effective.
January 27th, 2012 at 8:31 PM ^
Their new Ruthless Rye and damn is it yummy.
January 27th, 2012 at 8:33 PM ^
Labatt Ice tall boys. 6 pack for $3.99 can't beat it
January 27th, 2012 at 8:43 PM ^
Cheap merlot, then some Milwaukee's Best Light...pure class
January 27th, 2012 at 9:46 PM ^
I'd go beast ice, but I still respect your purchasing decisions
January 27th, 2012 at 8:33 PM ^
Fresh Hopslam on tap at Ashley's in A2. Probably have a Dirty Bastard or two. Then top the night off with some Viking Blod.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
Have you had the Dansk Mjod with caraway? It's pretty fantastic. Drinking "Monte Degli Angeli Sangiovese" myself... my wife's working in Ireland for the next 2 months... gonna be a lot of drinking around here.
January 28th, 2012 at 12:42 AM ^
All I've had is the V Blod. I've seen the other stuff though. The one that's 21% and also the one with the orange colored bottle. Maybe one day I'll have to try them.
Howell Meijer sells V Blod for like $27. Not bad.
January 27th, 2012 at 8:42 PM ^
VODKA
January 27th, 2012 at 8:49 PM ^
Drinking OE800. Just kidding, although that is what I drank in school when we were digging change from the couch.

<br>It's really Bells Two Hearted

When I heard the 2012 edition of Hopslam was coming out I called around to a few places in the greater DC area, one or two of which said they would be getting some in a week or two and would contact me then. It turns out that beer buyers down here are all very familiar with Hopslam as it is highly sought and sells out immediately. Some places that are fortunate enough to get it, ration their supply, limiting one six pack per customer.
To wrap up my cool story (bro), I got a call yesterday from a store who had put a six pack on reserve for me; picked it up later that evening. Will try my first one tonight as soon as I'm out of the office and safely home.
Sure it seems ridiculous to those who don't obsess over finding rare DIPAs, but I snapped a commemorative photo:

I was near the Total Wine in Fairfax today, so I called them up and they had Hopslam in stock. Said they got it in yesterday, expect to sell out by tomorrow, but they still had 3 cases left. I think they only sell one 6 pack at a time, like you said; I actually had to go to customer service and ask for it because they keep it behind the counter. If you or anyone else in the area wanted to pick some (more) up, you could probably catch it tomorrow morning.

and still deciding if this this an affront to my senses, or the best redux of Sierra's Torpedo. A couple more and a decision will be made.
In the meantime, here's some sweet, seminal garage rock
January 28th, 2012 at 5:09 PM ^
Doubt your still checking this thread Doc, but a deli that's close to my house and typically carries pretty good beer got a shipment of Hopslam in. They sold me a case today. Not cheap, but damn it is a good beer. Coincidentally someone also sent me a video from WTOP and they selected Hopslam the beer of the month. According to the video there should be a second wave of Hopslam coming in late February.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
That's crazy... Here in Michigan it's on the shelves at Meijer... Man I'm blessed to live in such a great beer state.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:41 PM ^
Just had one on tap at Bell's!
January 27th, 2012 at 8:53 PM ^
The fuck I can get my h ds on!
January 27th, 2012 at 8:58 PM ^
It's all about the founders tonight. Starting with some Centennial, bottle or two of imperial stout later. Maybe get some reds rye to close out the night.
