Previously available only on draught, Charlville Vineyard’s Hoptimistic IPA is now available in 22oz bottles at the Galleria Whole Foods. It’s nice to see yet another area brewery giving hopheads like myself additional fresh hoppy beer choices. But I digress, this beer is an exclusive to Whole Food this week before it hits the entire retail market. If you’re not willing to wait an entire week, you better heads over to Whole Foods while you can!

Thanks to Paul from the Wine and Cheese Place for alerting me.  Bell’s seasonal Hopslam will be available tomorrow in St. Louis.  Only 60 cases have arrived in St. Louis, so all of you lupulus lovers better get some quick because you know this one will be sure to go fast.

Here’s a quick commercial description:

A biting, bitter, tongue bruiser of an ale. With a name like Hopslam, what did you expect? O.G.: 1.095, IBUs: 70, 10%ABV
