I just called Siciliano's, but they won't have it until next week. Wonderland would be my next bet on the west side.

Oh man
I grab a weekly six-pack mixer every Saturday at Sicilianos.
Fantastic selection.

My store in Chicago is Vrai Amour two blocks south of fullerton. Father and son operation. From Michigan, used to have Michigan season tickets. Great beer, better people. Tell them Paul send ya.
Bells in chicago
Thanks for the tip, I have been calling binny's for two weeks asking if they knew when it was coming in, they claimed no idea, end of january. Sitting waiting for takeout last night and checked the site and saw this. Called them and sure enough they had it. Rushed over there 15 minutes before closing. One case per customer, I asked for 3 and the guy laughed at me and said he wished he could buy 3 as well... It sells out in chicago in like 2 days, going back today for another case...
You're a bastard for buying 2
You're a bastard for buying 2 cases of it in that situation. Everyone on here is a bastard for hyping my favorite beer on a football message board.
I know, I do feel a bit
I know, I do feel a bit greedy... I actually went back within 24 hrs and they had 2 cases left. But it is an addiction, can't help it. Giving a 6-pack to my buddy who just had a kid helps my conscience? i can say that with a straight face...
I looked for it today and

Anyone remember the first year it was brewed in 06? It didn't have honey in it back then. But it was only for a year. Real good regardless.

I just picked up a 6er tonight.
This has nothing to do with Michigan football.
Go to Terry's Turf Club in
Go to Terry's Turf Club in the Nati for the best burger in town and a hopslam, sit at the bar and talk to terry, he'll throw you some extra food... and then enjoy the diabetes kicking in while on the couch watching football...

I'm so glad I live in
I'm so glad I live in Kalamazoo, I never have to wait I just go downtown and drink at Bells. On a side note I have to give a shout out to Arcadia, just because my parents founded it.
Go Blue

I'm in Kalamazoo next week to visit a client and am looking forward to trying this beer 20-25 times that night.
I've decided to lay off the food for a while, and go on the booze.
Hopefully you aren't talking
Hopefully you aren't talking about Hopslam. That stuff is like 12% alcohol.

Hopslam and Two Hearted are the only two Bell's I really enjoy. I actually prefer Arcadia Whitsun Ale over Oberon by a mile - it's just too bad it's harder to find (on tap especially).
Agree with the Whitsun. I'm
Agree with the Whitsun. I'm not really a fan of any of the other Arcadias, but that stuff is the troof. Still, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fond memories of scotch ale at Heidelberg's happy hour.
For today, goodbye. For tomorrow, good luck. And forever, Go Blue.
you never hear about Heidelberg's here
22 years divorced from A2, and I still miss that place. When I was there it was a world-class beer selection and hardcore punk. Misfits/Minor Threat wannabees.
Cool mix, once in a while.
Ate there in a pinch with the family after a Michigan hockey game last winter. The food was phenomenal, so was the beer.
And no punk music.

Agreed
Whitsun is delicious.
Oberon has steadily declined to the point where it no longer even piques my interest at the bar/store. Even though its a big deal when it comes out in SW Michigan when I grow up as a kind of "Summer is here!!" symbol, I can't even get excited about it anymore.
Not a hops guy
Two Hearted and Hopslam are a little much for me:
1. Oberon circa 2005
2. Pale Ale
3. Oberon circa 2006
4. Winter White
5. Oatmeal Stout
6. Two Hearted
7. Oberon 2007-present
8. Hopslam

Damn, I also had Hell Hath No Fury in a burbon barrel that was epic...
Also, I've never had Black
Also, I've never had Black Note Stout, but I'd bet it would be #1 or #2. Can't believe this was the first mention of Expedition Stout.
Black Note is very good, but
Black Note is very good, but I've only had it once or twice, so hard to say its one of my favorites. If you can find it and like huge stouts, you'll like it.
For the uninitiated its a blend of expedition and double cream aged in a bourbon barrel for awhile. IIRC, there's a plan to be a 750ML bottle release at some point soon-ish.
I like Bells
1. Hop Slam (special occasions)
2. Two Hearted Ale (favorite regular beer, hence the name)
3. Oberon (favorite summer beer)
4. Winter White (winter)
1. Hopslam
2. Two

My wife is going to go into labor any day now, so we're stuck at home. should I be drinking right now? Of course not, but my grandpa got me a bottle of Blue Label, so yeah, I'm drinking, and listening to Dean Martin, and Ray Lamontagne.
Congrats on the future
Congrats on the future Wolverine! Blue label is the best one, right? I never can remember the ordering, and which color label is the best bang for the buck.

The outfit he's coming home from the hospital in is ALL Michigan, haha. His room has two posters in it, Bo Schembechler and one that simply reads "The Team" in maze and blue. It's a Winnie the Pooh design, but the maze and blue touches work well wih it.
Haha, love it! Hopefully
Haha, love it! Hopefully (s)he'll be singing "The Victors" before you know it! And nice change of the avatar.

You like Ray? Try William Elliott Whitmore. Trust me - he is Ray Lamontagne mixed with Johnny Cash and Otis Redding.
Sweet
Will definitely give him a listen, I need some new music to listen to. I've been wearing out Ray's "God willing and the creek don't rise" album.

Good call! And congrats, man.
Thanks my friend
Means a lot.
Trying to find it in GR - anyone seeing it on the west side? I had to resort to Two Hearted last night #firstworldbeerproblems
