I realize Cellarmaker as well as mikeller are not too far away, but anywhere with a good beer selection within a short walk from the Masonic?

Hopwater os pretty Damn good. I've walked to Masonic afterwards too. Just a bit of a hill.

Just went to øl in Walnut Creek and cuvée st gullies is sitting on the shelf. Everyone already grabbed all of the A&G. There are some OG BFM 1.5L’s on the shelf as well just hanging out. Nothing that exciting tho

What was the price on the Cantillon? Saw bottles elsewhere in the last few weeks for $23.

 

[hideout]

$50 (srs)

In santa rosa:
Bottle Barn (close to cooperage)
or
BevMo (the one on Santa Rosa Ave)

both sell shippers

I remember seeing Mamouche there maybe three years ago for $80 so this seems relatively reasonable.

They had 6 bottles of Hommage, some Tilquin Gueze, and A&G, along with CSG when they opened. A friend told me.

I can confirm that I did get taxed and paid $50 for a bottle.
I just went in and out didn’t feel like getting caught up with other people and had to go to work after.

 

[nothingisreal]

I got up way too late just finished making coffee and seeing who else wants to hurt themselves. I'll probably head over to the T around 1 now from the east bay.

Went in around 8, pretty chill. The half pour format is great for sampling. We did 12 total, for our first Bwine fest. Fun!

 

[buzzword]

i don't want to talk about yesterday. much fun was had, but much pain ensued today. i am weak.

 

[user 305778]

Didn't realize there was a can release at cellarmaker today but I'll take it. Manhattan vastness is also really good.

Heading back East coast i guess. New guy is from TRB

Temescal never got on my radar really. Any reason they should yet?

Not really, unfortunately.

It's on my radar now, but only because I now have a small child.

I know stupac2 thinks I'm a Novel fanboy, but I rate Novel higher than Temescal at this point. If I'm going to go to a mediocre local brewery, it's gotta offer more than an adequate pilsner and like three decent hoppy beers. Novel at least has a interestingly broad selection, stylistically speaking. They've even done some barrel aged brews which I guess Temescal is hinting they will be doing, but haven't done yet.

I mean, okay. I've yet to have anything from Novel that gets above "meh" and Temescal routinely has (or had, I guess) beers that easily clear that bar. I know it's easy to hate on the style but their kettle sours have been as good as anyone's, and when they try they can brew a good IPA. I have to say I'm all kinds of disappointed by them though, they've definitely underdelivered on their initial promise. I think if they stopped dicking around and actually brewed stuff people wanted to drink they could be as good as Fieldwork, but again that was with Wade there, who knows with the new guy? I guess it doesn't hurt them because in that location they clean up no matter what they do.

I'm still not blown away by Temescal, but I think they're generally make good beer. I have really enjoyed their lagers a lot and feel like the hoppy stuff has gotten better. Early on the hoppy stuff could be really hit or miss, now it's generally stuff that's at least good, even if it doesn't quite have the high ceiling of something like Alvarado Street.
