Because who wants to pay that? Vanilla Shake b1 was only a thing because that one guy tried to make it one.

I remember that, wasnt he from Michigan?
It is still a good beer, but waaaay to expensive

I am honestly blanking on his name but he's infamous. Someone will come along and name him.

Is it me or has toronado's taplists been generally very good of late? Got your local IPAs and stouts covered with Temescal, Sante, Cellarmaker, Alvarado st, and Fieldwork and good showing from local sours with Rarrel and Almanac as well as the usual standbys from moonlight and RR. I don't know of any other bar that is covering the highlights from locals as well as Toronado lately.

Not far from Toronado, Craft Fox has a comparable taplist with some nice items.

I'd put Beercraft in Rohnert Park #1. Toronado's selection, especially on IPAs, has been fantastic. Also can't beat their prices.

Nice. Haven't even heard of that place, but that list is quite solid. I'll have to check it sometime.

Doesn't sound like Toranado at all.

 

[Arbitrator]

Neither does an updated tap list. 2017 is truly full of surprises.

Can't speak as to the rest of the staff

As well as a daily update of the taplist on social media and a fancy looking bottle list. If they start taking credit cards, then we will know the end truly is nigh.

It better be hella hazy!

Might as well throw this one in the mix too:

Their brewer is Wade, who used to work at Cellarmaker, but their flavor profile is pretty different. They're all good, but few are mind-blowing, though I've liked some of the Basic Batches series. I haven't had this particular one, but I'd be moderately surprised if it was worth any hassle to get.

Tried this earlier tonight. Not as tart as I was expecting. Lots of pineapple on the nose.
Tasty but I went with a 4 pack of mai tai instead

Going to the bay area this weekend. Was looking for info on typical bottle costs for the rare barrel to plan how much I can bring home. Also looking for any good events or a good place to watch the KC Pitt game Sunday morning.
