Fuggit, staying put in livermore, hope they still have mo nelson come Sunday or Monday.

 

[loeyjarko]

My plan is to bart, but per my original question a few posts up, spaced my growlers at my house a few hours south, if I drive I could stop by a friends place and grab a couple growlers. But...it's not worth the headache with the traffic. If I come in I'll just bart. Yeah I saw tha traffic last night near Dublin when it was only lightly raining.

Yo I got you on the growler. pm if needed

Appreciate the offer, decided to stick around livermore area. Thank you though.

Gawd I fukn hate the beer Barron in livermore, I avoid this place at all costs, went in today because they have cantillon saint-gilloise and a rare barrel beer on tap. Menu clearly states "happy hour sun-thurs 12-6 pm, $2 off ALL draft beers and cocktails. Close my tab and of course dude tells me it only applies to every other beer on the menu, just not the 2 I ordered. I point out that it clearly says ALL. "Sorry dude, not those two". Gotta say I expected it out of these asshats. Not surprising it wouldn't apply to the cantillon, but clearly state it on your menu please.

They also run a liquor store in Livermore called Perry's. Ask Arbitrator about them

I know all about perrys too, and know they're owned by the same people. I don't live around here but used to drive between where I live and oakland on the reg for years and used to stop by both places all the time, when it was called livermore saloon. Both places are shady as ****! Went into perrys on Tuesday, bottle of HF Dorothy sitting in the shelf, wanna say it was $55! Ale apothecary sahali for $35. I usually don't talk **** about this stuff and chose to avoid. I realize its out of distro stuff but that's ridic. Dorothy is probably $10-$12 in VT,

 

[walterfredo]

I'll quit bitching and head to caps and taps!

Ale Apothecary is usually $30-$35 so that's not that bad of a deal...

All I'm saying is if you see a coin on the street in Livermore, don't bend over to pick it up.

Sahali is actually in the $20-$25 range in OR, unless it's gone up recently. Definitely not as much of a raping as the Dorothy, but still.

It's because those ******* ******* don't understand that time and gas affect costs, but even they can clearly see that shipping does. Every time I hear about them having Alpine bottles I just laugh because the shitheads are probably losing money on them, even with their ridiculous prices.

They used the gas and time argument on me a few years ago for Alpine bottles at Bottles ( their El Sobrante outpost) wanted $14 a bottle and were most put out when I turned them down on the offer...******* ******s the lot of them.

 

[abecall98]

Looks like I'm due to stop by Perry's and drop another Knarly Fart.

 

[tosh1]

Okay, Perennial bottles, any around? Ran into some Stefan today ( colab), but anything else showing up in bottles?

Saw a few different beers from them pop up on around the Bay Area, not sure on bottles. Looks like more may be coming though since he **** seems to randomly pop up now.

Deffo been enjoying them on tap, happy to see the first bottles today. Hoping more to follow.

 

[abecall98]

Just a heads up for any of you guys in the Tri-Valley. Altamont does $2 off growlers Wednesdays. Almost all their fills expect for the higher ABV ones are $8 a fill. That's a damn steal. Finishing this Smooth Operator I opened earlier with friends.

More will definitely be following. Saison de Lis is around still too, I think I saw it at Ledgers.

 

[buzzword]

drove by City Beer a couple hours ago and saw a few familiar faces in line already. I yelled something about it being sold out already but it probably wasn't intelligible considering how loud my car is...


have a good night on the sidewalk! let us know if you see any throwing knives.

 

[bdogg1]

I wonder what the line is like now

 

[loeyjarko]

Well my bevmo BCBS plan was a strikeout. If anyone has a tip for South Bay/Peninsula they'd be willing to share lmk. On another note, **** beer.

Don't worry, it was $30 for a 4 pack anyway. That's an insane jump in price.

No knives, but this guy in front of me was packing heat in case things got ugly down here in Arizona.

Because they have the entire bay area's allotment...

They definitely got the most. My Bevmo had a couple cases of coffee and barleywine and 4-5 cases of BCBS. But it was limit one, not one of each, just one total. I was bummed I had to choose, so if anyone wants two BCBS for two BW let me know.
