Spend a night in the Hopslam Suite Royale! Hopslam 2020 Specialty tour details

Hopslam behind the scenes tour

To celebrate the 2020 release of Hopslam, we’re hosting a unique tour experience and competition to celebrate our beloved Double IPA!

This year’s hop-centric tour will again be limited to only 12 lucky winners who show their love for Hopslam in a creative way!

Ten of our winners will be chosen at random and allowed to bring one guest. One runner up will be People’s Choice so tell your friends and family to vote for you. ONE lucky winner will be left to our Brewers’ Choice. We have selected a panel of three brewers from Bell’s to determine which entry is most creative. This person will be our 2020 Grand Prize Winner.

This year’s Grand Prize Winner will be stay the night of the tour at the Radisson Plaza Hotel at Kalamazoo Center in the Hopslam Suite Royale.

What’s the Hopslam Suite Royale? Imagine a hoppy oasis of everything Hopslam (some items which are one-of-a-kind and custom designed just for our winner) - all of which you will take home with you after your stay!

As for the tour, our 24 guests will:

  • Hop on the Kalamazoo Brew Bus from Bell’s Eccentric Café and enjoy a Hopslam without having to worry about the drive to our Comstock Brewery.
  • Taste the freshest Hopslam straight from the source!
  • Engage in a hop sensory experience and learn about how we select our hops to make this special beer.
  • Walk alongside dry hop fermenters each holding 3 stories worth of Hopslam!
  • Watch 500 cans per minute whip through our can line with only a brief stop to grab one for you!
  • Take home special Hopslam Swag.
