Wanted: Sierra Nevada Hoptimum

Apendecto · Jan 29, 2011

I missed the boat over here. The local beer store on got a case in and it was out in a flash.

I'm willing to trade for a bottle or two anything I can get around here such as Bells (Hopslam, etc.), Founders, Southern Tier, Great Lakes, etc.

If you've got some around your area, please let me know! Thanks.

Im hitting up a local spot here, If they still have in stock I am willing to trade for some Bells. Let you know later tonight.

I went to some hole is the wall liquor store on a whim and they had all sorts of cool crap, including Hoptimum. Thanks anyway.

Just got one today...definitely not worth $9.99. Just go buy your favorite 6-pack.

I have to agree. This beer was so overhyped!

Sam's Club here in Dayton, Ohio Had a pallet of cases for sale.

Amen. Good but not great.

I agree. It's "meh" in my opinion. I mean not bad but not worth the price premium. There are many IIPAs out there I'd rather drink first.

Yeah, spend the time trying to track down Pliny the Younger.

I thought it was really good but someone bought it for me so I didn't realize it was 10 bucks. If it were 3.99 it would be awesome but if I'd have known it was 9.99 I probably wouldn't have liked it as much. Funny how that works.

cinderbike · Feb 13, 2011

I think it's because unless you're getting a lambic or something that justifies $10+, we know we can make a whole batch for just a few dollars more at those prices.

Not very hard I just had some a couple days ago. Although you'd better get some soon because I'm sure everyone will be sold out soon, if not already. I actually like the Elder better to be honest.

Wait I thought you could only get the younger at rivers brew pubs and they wouldn't even let you buy growlers of it. have I heard wrong? Have they started bottling it?

Good luck finding it. Stores around here were sold out in a day.

Found a bunch. The place where I got it from still has two more bottles. Still not worth it.
