It was the only time of the year that I absolutely hated living near the La Mesa Village.

me too. I love that area. There's a cool little cigar bar called Hoffer's that has a nice tap selection right there, but the Oktoberfest just sucks.

I love Hoffer's. They consistently have great beer on tap and from what I hear their cigar selection is outstanding as well (I don't smoke cigars, but I have a few friends that are really into them).

Do they even serve Beck's anymore? I thought one year they had Lowenbrau, then the next year they didn't have any German beers at all...

I paid $20... I am not a smart man

This year they had Sam Adams Oktoberfest. The two previous years were even worse. I remember seeing Karl Strauss Endless Summer Light, Red Trolley, maybe Tower 10 and thankfully Oktoberfest.

El Cajon was amazing this year though. 2 or 3 offerings from Warsteiner and Hoffbrau. Weihenstephaner, Spaten, and 2 other breweries as well were being poured.

If I see it cheaper in Denver I'm buying some.

Alpine Great released today. 6 bottle limit, $10.99 a bottle.

Brewery closes at 6 for sales, right?

Goodnight sweet prince

 

[hi im richie]

My last exam is at 5, so downtown SD to Alpine is doable.

[EliotRosewater]

Any ideas of how long this will last? Any chance it's around until Friday or is that a pipe dream?

 

[TheDuke1]

Hopefully it lasts until tomorrow morning, otherwise I'm drowning my sorrows in hoppy birthday.

all dat barleywine made you so slow

 

[stupac2]

I hate that Alpine is so close, but yet, so far...

 

[evilc]

All honesty - don't trade a single ****ing bottle of this stuff you jackasses. I am already hurt deeply just sending to regulars. To me - it's BB4D blended with King Henry. Best way to describe it. Going to dump 2 bottles into a CBS snifter tonight.

I overheard a girl telling the guy behind me 7K, as I left. Did I mishear?

 

[evilc]

SRS my bros - I can't be pumping up the trade value if I am trading PRECISELY ZERO. Drink a bottle before you idiotically trade for some KBS.

 

[evilc]

Danielle's comment was 2040. Also - there were 6 barrels. 55 gallon Heaven Hill. Even with zero Angel's share - that's 3520 12oz bottles. 1/4 Angels Share over 16 months in the barrel would be 2640 bottles. The pub had a 5 gallon keg on today, and Danielle said a 15.5 gallon keg is in the wings waiting. I'd imagine there are several more 5 and 15 gallon kegs.

 

[DougOLis]

Really bad timing for me to be out of town. If it doesn't last a couple of days, would anyone be interested in sharing a bottle and doing a side by side comparison with my last remaining bottle from the previous release (2009)?

 

[TheDuke1]

Surprised that wife and I were 2nd and 3rd in line at 10am. Was anticipating a **** show today. Grabbed food at the pub, bailed around 1, line was still there but probably only 10 deep.

Now she's napping and I'm getting ready to dome some hoppy birthday. This honeymoon kicks ass.

You talking **** on my three banger Honda Fit?

Will race for Great.

Not a hybrid?

I'll take my POS three banger plastic fit, thankyouverymuch. 34mpg let's me buy a lot more beer.

Were you in line with us up front? Untied shoes perhaps?

 

[evilc]

Nah I showed up at noon so was around 60 deep. I saw the Just Married on the window so put 2 & 2 together with your post here.

[hi im richie]

I saw that car too. Showed up shortly before noon. Had people in front and behind me that brought their babies, definitely impressed by the dedication.

Also, Great lived up to the hype. So good.

 

[TheDuke1]

Likes for everyone that saw my car, because **** dave.

Glad I didn't leave the dexter-esque kill room plastic lining up in the back.

So it's THAT kind of honeymoon?

Since I've exchanged sex for a live in mule, gotta get my rocks off somehow.
