A beer that needs no introduction has arrived. Bell’s Brewing’s now infamous imperial IPA has shipped and is hitting stores nationwide. (Many places in the U.S. already have received shipments.
Commercial Description: Starting with six different hop varietals added to the brew kettle & culminating with a massive dry-hop addition of Simcoe hops, Bell’s Hopslam Ale possesses the most complex hopping schedule in the Bell’s repetoire. Selected specifically because of their aromatic qualities, these Pacific Northwest varieties contribute a pungent blend of grapefruit, stone fruit, and floral notes. A generous malt bill and a solid dollop of honey provide just enough body to keep the balance in check, resulting in a remarkably drinkable rendition of the Double India Pale Ale style.
Style: Imperial IPA
Taste Expectations: Big fresh hops. Citrus, pine & grapefruit. The bitterness is lessened the honey, giving a caramel- sweet finish.
Availability: 12oz/6 pks. Draft. New for 2011, Party cans. Early seasonal each year.
The Porter Beer Bar in Atlanta hosts an interesting and awesome tap takeover Friday nights in January. The takeovers have a particular theme in mind. This Friday’s theme is Michigan. (Beers from the state of). I think you will be happy with the lineup –
Bell’s Batch 10,000, Founder’s Backwoods Bastard, Dirty Bastard, Breakfast Stout. Great lineup for sure – but there are 6 more RARE kegs. They are extremely hard to come by in Georgia. (You might even say, not possible). Here is a hint – The Fresh Prince. No, not Philadelphia. We are talking about Michigan here geniuses. Can’t figure it out? I guess you’ll just have to head to The Porter on Friday…

The end of an era. Bell’s Brewing (Kalamazoo, MI) has been releasing the “Batch” series to commemorate their milestones over the brewing years. Here in 2010, Bell’s has announced a massive expansion, new beers, and the last of this series while looking toward the future. This Batch 10,000 is the final release in this commemorative series. Larry Bell – brewer and founder, wanted this beer to be a little extra special. 10,000 is an homage to his and every brewer’s homebrewing roots.
From Bell’s Blog: The last in our Batch series is being packaged today and tomorrow. While we are excited to free up some brewing space for other creative projects, the end of the Batch series marks a major milestone for us, and is a little bittersweet being the end of an era. Batch 10,000 reflects our homebrewing roots and was inspired by the the last homebrew of the season. Our owner Larry Bell remembers going through his brewing supplies and making the last homebrew out of whatever malts and hops were left from his brewing months. With this being the motivation behind our last commemorative batch series beer, we combed through the catalogs of many malt and hop suppliers to source 100 different malts, grains, and other fermentables. This is balanced by the addition of 60 different hop varietals between the kettle and dry hopping. The resulting beer presents a deep, chocolate brown hue and offers roasted and caramel notes from the malts mixed with an assertive hop character. Feel free to drink it fresh, or vintage age it as you please.
We lift our glass in appreciation to Bell’s drinkers who have helped us reach this moment in our brewery’s history. Cheers to you!
Style: American Strong Ale Hops: 60 varieties Malts: 100+
