Bell's Hopslam 2016 cans are one step closer to release

Bell's Brewery's Hopslam cans take one step closer to your refrigerator today, with the arrivals of cans at the Michigan brewery. Read on for more details surrounding the 2016 return.

When Bell's Hopslam returns in 2016, you'll only find it in 12 ounce cans, 1.32 gallon mini kegs and draft. The brewery won't be bottling it this year.

Laura Bell, president of Bell's Brewery in Comstock, Michigan cites construction as the biggest reason you won't find bottles of the hoppy offering in the upcoming seasonal release. The bottling hall will be too busy, so the canning line has been "tapped" to assist.

Bell's Hopslam is an imperial IPA brewed with Michigan honey. The beer easily ranks among one of ht brewery's most popular offerings.

Bottled aren't banished forever for Bell's Hopslam though. Future packaging plans will be announced sometime next year after the release, and construction are completed.
