We grew up stealing his dad's beer and bells out of the giant freezer they had. Good times. Oberon and Hopslam are insanely good. Just don't fall for their annual Imperial stout, it changes every year and it's way overpriced from the hype. Last few years that I've had it, it's been awful.
I haven't had much in my life that beats hopslam. It's not the sixpack that you want to buy at the end of the night though. "Holy shit, I spent $20 on a six pack" is not what you want to be saying the next day when you look at your wallet.

As good as bell's can be, i have noticed a lot of inconsistency keg to keg. I've had it here in DC a couple times now and noticed it's a thinned down version, almost filtered.
