I wanted to be here just to get an eagle rare store pick at discount

Anyone at Cellarmaker right now?

And I didn't even see this. Nice chatting with you and meeting Brad (some form of wino iirc).

Yeah great to hang again! We will do it again soon.

For those that missed out on BCBS, Berkeley Safeway has them, no limit. Buy 6, get them for $9 each deal with club card.

Huh, the guy told me on Friday that he was down to his last case. Either he was wrong or they had more.

Oh could be, I just saw at least 8 on the shelf there this morning. I didn't really look behind or search though. Just passing through and figured I'd share.

Yeah Safeways are the best places to look, because it gets SO CHEAP. With tax it came to <$10/bottle, cheaper per ounce than it was last year. Madness.

Too bad they didn't get any variants, that would've been awesome.

Tilquin is back on the local shelves.

So, Peche 'n' Brett was on K&L for all of a minute before it sold out. Crazy.

It'll sit on shelves in Oregon for a while, it always does. I'm sure someone would love to trade a little PnB for some Sante...

That beer is good but now that west Ashley releases go for 2days with 3 bottle limits at a cheaper price, small loss.

VERY very different beers. Love them both, for different reasons. Still bummed PnB has gotten so hard to get.

I was at K&L today picking up my '15 Fou (score!) when Jim Boyce's email came out. Tried to pick up a PnB but already gone - apparently they had some on the shelves earlier in the day before his email.

 

[archagon]

I even set up push notifications on my phone for a chance to get one of K&L's Thanksgiving beers... but I woke up at noon on the day the Fou e-mail came out. Sigh! At least I got a Peche (hopefully).

Judging by how quickly Anniversary XIX, Nelson, and Peche sold out, I'm guessing the limited releases are going to be impossible to buy in the future unless you literally respond within a few seconds. (Though Nelson showed up unannounced on the site a few days later and stayed there for a bit.)

FW XIX is all over the place here in SF, in case people are looking...

 

[archagon]

Yeah, I picked one up at Whole Foods on the day it came out. Just happened to notice how quickly it went from 20 to 0 a few minutes after the K&L e-mail.

Nelson is at Draegers San Mateo. I think. You should call.

Everywhere except the places I look.

Whole Foods on 4th has some. Saw it there today.

 

[archagon]

FWIW, my local Whole Foods has started keeping some limited releases in the back. XIX was only available to those who asked.

Good to know Firestone is a broken record on this. I saw a ****-ton of XIX in Portland, but haven't seen a single bottle here.

Anyone tried it? I've had all the anniversaries so far, so I feel odd breaking a tradition, but I'm not going to chase it unless it's amazing.

To be it tasted like Parabola, with hints of Stickee Monkee. Probably because that's what it is, for the most part. It was pretty good, better than 18, but unless you're invested in the series (which you appear to be), I don't know that I'd go crazy looking for it.

I've seen it on the selves of several Bevmos and WF's in SF and the Peninsula. Can pick you up one if you like.

Nah, but I appreciate it. I work close enough to WF SoMa that I will walk over and look for it.

I can see why this happened, but dudes are pretty cool, and I hope they hang in there in the long run.

That Bbq gaff was always a mistake IMO. Just hope the original place survives whatever is upcoming.
