Bell’s Hopslam returns again for 2019 starting today. Below are all the details you’ll need to get your annual hoppy fix.

I like the idea of them canning this. It will be better for the beer. It’ll be cool seeing a six-pack can offering from bell’s as well.
BIG CANS … GREAT ARTWORK
I hate the idea of them canning this. It will be much worse for the beer. It’ll be stupid seeing a six-pack can offering from bell’s as well.

False, and clearly you’re a moron.
