Where to find Bell's Hopslam in Detroit

Calling all hops lovers! Bell's Hopslam Ale, the imperial IPA sure to knock your socks off, has left the building.

Beer lovers may have been dismayed to learn the Kalamazoo brewery isn't offering bottles of the brew this year, but let's be honest, drinking out of cans is way more fun. 

A fan favorite due to its drinkability while maintaining a respectably elevated ABV (10%) and IBU (70), which is just a fancy way to say this will get you toasty and taste good. Real good. You're going to get hints of grapefruit, stone fruit, floral notes and good ol' Michigan honey in this year's batch, and according to our resident beer expert, it's "like a mule-kick to the face but in a good way." And that sounds fun, right?
