Freakin CO blue laws won't allow liquor sales in grocery stores. Only 3.2 ABW can be sold. We want a TJ's sooooo bad!

Yeah -
Was more like 8 that night.
The one by me has a killer beer selection, Three Floyds, DogFish Head, Lagunitas, victory, etc.... Even their house brands are pretty decent the Kennebunkport IPA was fairly good and cheap.

Hmmm, maybe I'll stop in after work tonight...
This was my last haul....

All of trader joes are perfect renditions of the styles they have brewed. There's nothing real special about them, but damnit...if you want to know what a dunkelweizen tastes like, you can purchase a perfect example.
Their house brands are all made by Gordon Biersch, and I emailed their brewmaster once, and he confirmed they are all brewed under the Reinheitsgebot.
We've had some discussion about these "boutique beers."

I heard they were by gordon biersch...makes sense. Although I like their beers more than most of GB's regular stuff.
Didn't know that costco wsa doing the same thing *shudder*

They also have some great pre-marinated meats there, including a fantastic tandoori chicken tenders package...
I think a trip to TJ's is definitely on for tonight. Plus now that I am on a vienna lager jag, it would be nice to try those, I ignored them last time (except for the Mexican dark lager.)
Thank's to whoever bumped this old thread.

Their Vienna Lager is really smooth and nice. I always get a six-pack when I head out there.
They're marinaded tri-tip and carne asada are good, too. Also, I absolutely LOVE their spiced leg of lamb. It's in the frozen section. I let it thaw overnight and then throw it in the oven per their instructions on a ceramic dish.
Throw in some of their Organic Black Beans on the side and pour yourself a glass of that Vienna Lager and it's probably one of the best "easy" meals you'll ever have. All relatively cheap, too. The lamb is like $14, but it's good for 3 meals.

I've had the Carne Asada, it was awesome....The lamb sounds great as well.
My understanding, is that the Vintage Ale considered "special beer" in their line (that's why they are dated.) I was told by the manager last year that it is seasonal and, at least at the one in Grosse Pointe, sells out rather quickly. The rest of their line is GB...
It's interesting though that Unibroue is also available at Costco, and their house line, Kirkland, is made by GB....I wonder if Unibroue, and GB are somehow connected in some way ( Unibroue's Canadian, iirc?) Or maybe it just has to do with liquor distributors or something.
Hopefully I can find the Vintage when I go.

Ok, now you all made me want to go pick up some stuff at trader joes on the way home from work today, their cheese selection is awesome and pretty good prices, and blackthorne cider 1L for $3? how do you beat that? Plus, my local one is right across the street from a Whole Foods, so what Trader Joes dosen't have, WF will.

Oh, and I'm thinking about harvesting the yeast from the bottom of the vintage ale, it says it's a belgian strain.
They're across the street from each other??? You sux!!! Lucky guy!!:rockin:
Yeah, no ****. Whole foods is actually on the way home for me, but they're so damn expensive.
We're getting a Berkeley Bowl (awesome local grocery) next to my work, tho. That will be teh awesome.

Yeah, it's ok. I'd prefer a Maudite any day of the week
Trois Pistoles FTW
That yeast is a MONSTER too :rockin:
They still had it at the Peoples Republic of Cambridge. The wifey picked up more to ensure there was enough for vertical tastings as the years go by.
Whole Foods apple juice in the gallon containers are full of win
Kids LOVE IT and I get containers for experimental spirits.
I'm just gonna pour a little glass and drop some yeast in the next one I open.
Is it the same price as the other tj's beers???? Methinks this trip could become expensive....I was planning one or 2 6 dollar 6-packs, now I'm buying hummus, tandoori chicken, Carne Asada, Lamb....and now Vintage if I can find it.
I'm so freaking hungry/thirsty now, I can't even stand it....

LOL, I have Black beans up the wazoo at home already, dired, canned, canned with lime and cilantro, salsa, dip....I lurve me some black beans:rockin:
yeah, but do you have the
ORGANIC BLACK BEANS
from trader joes?
I actually don't usually eat black beans on the side...don't know why this happened and I don't know how well the other guys will work. I DO know that the regular black beans from trader joes weren't as good as the organic.
It would probably be good with some potatoes, too.
This means something. This is important!

*calculating how long it takes to get to MI for dinner*
Crap.
I just recently found the WF near us, and left with a single grocery bag for like $80. The damn cheese counter kills me every time. And ours don't even sell booze!

I can never resist the candy a TJ's. The dark chocolate mint creams are awesome, as well as the chocolate covered orange sticks.
And the Vintage Ales... I've got the last 3 years tucked away in the fridge.

Really? That's one of the main reasons I go there.
Although the other day I bought a little box of salad (i'm trying to supplement my carnivorous diet) for like $6!!!!! It was really good, tho. Spinach leaves, walnuts, shiittake (sp?) mushrooms, vinaigrette (sp, damnit?), oil and salt and pepper. I think I'm going to make some myself and save money...so it was worth the cost of inspiration.
Well damn.
I'm on the motorcycle today. Oh well, guess I'll go get as much as can fit in the saddle bags.

Oh crap...I forgot the hummus dammit!!!
I came home 70 bucks lighter and 2 bags heavier...Yes TWO BAGS!!!!
Those little packets of food labeld 3 or 4 dollars are seductive.
I got some frozen buffalo burgers, lamb (and organic black beans,) Tandoori chicken tenders, chipotle flat iron steak, carne asada, ahi tuna steaks, the best damn thai yellow curry sauce I have ever tasted, frozen pot stickers (that was dinner, btw) and a couple other things...
No Vintage ale to be found but I got a mixed sixer of TJ's Vienna Lagger and Kennebunport IPA...The Lager rules...the IPA, not so much.
And a bomber of Arrogant Bastard for $4.95!!! That's like 2 or 3 bugs cheaper than anywhere else!!!!!
