And I'm sure bourbon vanilla shake is fine, too.

Edit: Which they're sold out of. Regular vanilla shake is good.

Ended up getting a bottle of LPK for $55. I was trying to get the Hanssens Kriek for like $35 since it was reasonable and I hadn't tried it. It was on the menu, but they didn't actually have it. I was already a few deep and the girlfriend egged me on to get the LPK in lieu of Cascade Kriek for $45ish. Interestingly, they had a ton of stuff not on their bottle list, namely Fou Foune for $70 and Hommage for ******* $80. Oof.

I then got Duet which was great and Brunch Weasel. The trip home was a bit fuzzy.

Ouches.

Were those to-go prices, or in-house?

Sounds like you still had a good time though, no?

they don't have the licensing to sell bottles to go.

In house. I guess LPK would go for $40-$45 at a bottle shop if you are lucky enough to get one, so $55 at a bar is not absurd. FF and Hommage were ridiculous though.

It was definitely good times, though yesterday morning was a bit rough.

CBS has in-house bottles of Hommage for $90, so there's that...

Jesus, "Mikkeller is the relatively cheap option" is something you don't get to say too often.

I know some people were able to get them at bottle shops. What were they running for there?

Paid just under $50 for Hommage.

Some bottle shops. I've never paid more than like $35 for it. But being able to walk in and buy it is nice, and the higher prices allow that.

The last time I was at the Trappist in Oakland, they had LPK for $45 in house. Nottoobad!

At this point, I refuse to believe that Chussain is not a robot. No other explanation for this lack of self-awareness.

Really kinda want to see his cellar though. Not sure I'm qualified to be his teammate...

 

[RyanG1]

Anyone try these yet?

Some of their beers were around during beer week and got pretty mixed reviews.

I thought the Apricot Récolte was pretty good the few times I've tried it on tap, the "regular" Récolte wasn't bad either, no idea about the other 2. Trappist Provisions did a Tahoe Mountain tap takeover during SFBW, and my experience was much like Stu said - mixed reviews, some pretty good beers here and there, but certainly nowhere near the "can't miss" batting average that Steve, the Provisions manager, seems to think that brewery has. (Granted, I hate a lot of beers that he for some reason seems to love, so there you go.)

 

[buzzword]

had the peach and apricot at provisions. both good - I think someone was telling me their brewer used to work at crooked stave or some such.

The link to his cellar is in the BA thread. It's nothing special, mostly B-level **** you can trade/buy if you got into this around 2012.

I think my favorite post trolling him was when he set up a tasting in a park in SF. He posted the lineup, which was all decent stuff, nothing really special. At the same time, we had a pretty nice tasting down on the Peninsula for pokgye's birthday.

I posted some followup photos thanking HaveUSeenMyPeepee for the great tasting, including 90's Cantillon, a SARA keg, **** like that. He got pissed and had the thread deleted.

I love taunting him. He's so determined to get people to like him, without actually doing anything likable.
