My husband really wants to try the A-B chelada. Really! If you haven’t had the, um, pleasure, I’ll let you know how it goes.

Yeah, no. I haven’t tried it yet. But if I come across one, I’ll be sure to pick it up for you. I can promise this is one beer that won’t “accidentally” drink.

I stopped by the Wine and Cheese Place in Clayton this afternoon and found only one sixer of Hopslam left in the house.

I guess that leaves Lukas and Randalls

If anyone is still jonesing for this: As of last night, there was at least one 6-pack of Hopslam left at the Whole Foods in Brentwood. There were two, but I bought one. Sweet mother of God, what a nice beer.
