I love the sample packs that many manufacturers put out. I get to try a bunch of great beers and not get stuck with just one type in the fridge when I'm feeling like another.
Haven't ever seen anything from Bells here in New York. Seems like a west coast favorite that stays in its own backyard.
Fullers is a no-brainer, especially on tap. I'm a porter lover and Fullers Porter ranks right up there with Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter as my faves.
Well I found a place nearby hat sells Bells. They had a bunch of different 6 packs for sale, but no Hopslam. I asked if they ever get this in and they said they got allocated 2 cases from the recent shipment. 6 packs sold for $20 each and they were gone in 1/2 a day.
To me that means it is "beerus unavailiem" in my neck of the woods. So I went to my favorite beer bar and tried some Bells 2 Hearted Ale on tap. Decent enough, but not a fave.
Switched to Allagash Hugh Malone and was much happier. Then had a Bellhaven Black for dessert.
The best part of searching for the best beer is the journey itself.
