Yeah I hear ya.... I guess it just doesn't give me the hipster vibe Bc they aren't in the city or in a hipster area. Got my judgement shoes on.

The gf's family has a summer house in in PA in mount gretna (near lancaster) and we have been stopping at troegs on the way back for food and a drink every time for the past few years. The food is out of this world. Only issue weve had is that some of her family came last time and they keep kind of kosher. Well, we tried to order the lamb burger for them medium rare and the person taking the order said it only came well because there was pork in there that needed to be cooked. Who the drymount doesnt mention there is pork in a lamb burger? That's kind of a big ingredient...

Heard they were a bit thin as well, but any type of stout that is blended w/ Vanilla will always get my attention

I lied. It's on the back label, upper left corner. "2016 release"

Excellent. Too bad they didn't have any of the Founders beer cheese dip. It's incredible

Question for some of you:

What's do you think the shelf life would be on these Hopslam cans? I'm assuming it may be a bit better, now that it's in cans instead of bottles.

All opinions welcomed

Mike, is that stuff packaged and sold at retail, or is it just made to order at the brewery?

Anyone have a source on these? If so, send me a PM and maybe we can set up a trade.

i stored away a bottle of last years and drank it almost a year later. it was fine. cant say it was great, but im also not a huge Hopslam fan. if you do store it, keep it cold.
