Any other local places do Crowlers? Only place i know about.

Third St Aleworks does. Cooperage is going to, but don't know if they've started.

 

[litheum94]

Not a comment about Crowlers, but Plow. Tried that brewery last month. Sonoma Coast Pils was very good, Scythe Imperial Porter was also very good, unfortunately Ox was undrinkable.

I really enjoyed that porter. Their other stuff was decent.

OK, which one of you jerks bought out the supply of 3F OG at The Wine Club? There were, like, 4 bottles standing around over there for the past month, but on the very day I finally decide to go and buy myself one, they're suddenly all sold out!

Glad I picked one up when they last came in...

48 bottles of KBS went in 11 minutes last night at the Hop Grenade. And that's with a 2 bottle limit per person.

If anyone really wants a bottle and missed out on all the events and can do an IP trade in the East Bay, drop me a msg. I have a few from a regular trading partner and happy to spread the love.

I didn't get burned or anything; sitting on a couple bottles from a buddy back east. Just somewhat perturbed to see this line-up-and-load-up **** going on in my neighborhood. I'm used to it in SF, but Concord?

What did you expect? Every store that has pliny sells out day of with ppl lining up to buy an IPA like it cures cancer.

KBS. That's cute.

 

[HeavySpeedway]

KBS. That's cute.

They should release more KBS on Black Friday, naturally at stores that typically don't get the ABGI whalez.

How else do you think these new money acquire ammo for iso pliney the elder or younger (preferably)

 

[jtmartino1]

I don't even like KBS. I'll take reg Breakfast Stout over it, and just blend with BCBS if I want some of that barrel flavor.

It's a good beer, and back in the day was mind blowning. But much like Pliny, it's nothing special anymore, others beers on the block now. How much of a PITA it is to get now, any bar that has it on tap becomes overrun crowded, makes it not worth it.

Thing I like most about it, it comes in 12 oz bottles.

No, no, no. FFAC cures cancer.

I don't think it was ever mind blowing. Regular breakfast stout has always been better in my experience, dating back to '04. It is a 12oz BB coffee stout, so I understand the demand, but it's just not worth the effort.

Born Yesterday has landed across Petaluma and expected in parts of SF (at least CBS) this afternoon. Would love to hear of any east bay sightings or other shops in the City if spotted today.

It's really good. Lower abv (6.5%) this year.

Just hit Beer Rev so I guess it is seeing East Bay already.

 

[evilhead]

Southgate Liquors in SJ off Snell just got a bunch. It's pretty good!

 

[cardinalbruintriton]

Are these supposed to hit WF or Bevmos too? I'm lazy.

 

[evilhead]

I dunno. Do you want it convenient or FRESH OFF THE TRUCK, NOW, NAO!?

Also Cask & Frisk has it.

 

[archagon]

Whole Foods in San Jose got it. Seems to be going fast though.

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

Found a 6er that was bottled today, so in fat it wasn't born yesterday.

Born Today!

 

[archagon]

You should get a refund.

 

[preacher1]

My wet hopped pale was born last week and tastes like today.

 

[kpasizzle]

Assuming this beer tastes trill AF a la last year's?

Born Today!

I too had a Born Today yesterday. I bought two sixers of Born Today yesterday and am now sending one sixer of Born Yesterday today in a two-day (well, 2 two-days with 3 Born Yesterdays in each) to a buddy back east. I still have 5 Born Yesterdays today from yesterday for myself.
