Bell's Hopslam Release Party
What better way to celebrate the annual release of Bell's Hopslam than with the Hoperatives and of bunch of other beer crazed bloggers? I can't think of one other than doing it exactly like this when we all gathered at Jean-Ro and tasted the nectar of the Gods on a freezing cold January night.
The Cincinnatinomerati, her and David, passionate about beer, food and any number of other things.
And maybe certifiably crazy.
Were people ready for Hopslam?
Are hops green?
i really hope hops are green for reals
How a trained professional tastes beer.
It did have a floral nose for sure, I couldn't pull out the grapefruit, but it was bitter with a bitey finish. OH, and yummie.
Anyone who knows me, knows how hysterical it was I ended up with this glass. And no, it does not contain saison beer
If you get within 6' of Zac you must save against ZacZero radiation. Failure requires you to take a -4 against will saves on everything he says or you'll LULZ for 1d20+10 seconds.(its kind of like mummy rot, except, you know, funny)
8 hopslams
You have to respect the mittens; One of the only good things about winter is that I get to dig them out of the closet. Had a great time, David won't stop talking about that steak tartare!
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world is Jenny doing in the above photo?
ReplyDeleteThrowing gang signs.
ReplyDeleteShe's pimp like that.
It was definitely an awesome event, for sure. Cant' believe how much hop slam they poured for that event. For the true lovers out there, you can still get hopslam out at dilideli, and also comet will have it on draft at an undisclosed time. Also, city cellars has sixers and I know that terry's turf got a bunch too. If you happen to be in columbus, right down the street from my favorite gelato place (Jenni's) is bodega, one of my favorite beer bars, and they also have it on draft.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good time. What I remember of it at least.
ReplyDeleteYou were getting wild-eyed there towards the end.
ReplyDeleteThat was a pretty thugged out night, yo.
ReplyDeleteLook at you guys, like a little cult of Hopslam lovers. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe Comet is tapping a keg of Hopslam this Wednesday night (1/13) and also a firkin of Two Hearted. W00t! It's another great beer week in Cincinnati! Here's to Believers in Better Beer!
