Beer...it's too great not to have its own thread!

Last week while perusing the aisles of Total Wine I finally found my first and only sixer of Bell's Hopslam. I've been wanting to try it for a while but could never find it. It's a bit pricey at 21 bucks a six. Not something I would put into the regular rotation, but it's definitely worth it for special occassions! One of the best beers I've ever had...

One not so great trend I've noticed is some breweries going to four packs vice six packs. Some beers I don't mind spending a little more on...Weyerbacher's Simcoe double IPA/Dogfish 120min IPA, the aforementioned Hopslam...but I just recently saw that Green Flash is now selling their West Coast IPA in four packs instead of sixers...at the same or even a bit higher of a price...I've seen others doing the same thing...I can deal with a slight price hike, but not a price hike on top of two fewer bottles??? That was as surprising as Stone's Ruination going from 11 bucks a six to 18...

There was also a show on Discovery called "How Beer Saved the World"...check it out if you have the chance...it was very entertaining and informative!
