Younger falls off hard. Having it at the Windsor location now. The bright citrus is fading and it's more bitter.

Yes it does. That's why it being tapped so late in Philly is always sad.

It has been getting here earlier and earlier at least. The 2/23 tapping at Monks is as early as I remember it.

both work but if i end up deciding to attend BL's WoL, 23rd would be the better option ! Can't wait for another one

 

[AndresR]

BL's WoL?

What's that?

Bottle logic week of logic, im not sure how it works but i think you have to go consecutive days to get into their club? or something like that?

Essentially, that's it. They have a passport booklet that you get stamped each day, and anyone who completes the booklet makes it into their club, which is more of a "first opportunity to buy" club than it is a traditional, pay-up-front-for-x-amount-of-bottles club.

nice, how many days is it that are needed?

They announce full details around the first of March every year, but I believe to make it into their club you have to go every day they run the event, which is a full seven. I’ve never done it due to living about an hour’s drive away and really only being interested in ~1/4th of the Stasis bottles they put out, so I may be a bit sketchy on the details.

Or we can go to Healthy Spirits where still have cases of the Stasis bottles sitting around.

 

[chemman141]

Yeah it blows my mind that people still jump through that hoop when all the beers are distributed wiht a decent quantity now.

Wish they had PCC tho.

Holy Water, next to Healthy Spirits, had bottles of Paisley Cave to-go.

Damn, this wasn't recently was it? Healthy Spirits told me they did have PCC available but sold out very quickly and never got a re-up.

During beer week.

I must have missed that. I visited Holy Water on the last Saturday of Beer Week and I didn't see any PCC on the take away board.

They weren't on the board, they were on the side. But that was on theFriday of sfbw. They were all also like $30. So passed.

I wanted to go that night but traffic and weather was gnarly coming from the East Bay. I'd pay $30 for one bottle of PCC easily. You win some, you lose some I guess.

Wasn't it $27 something from the brewery?

 

[Lupulin the 3rd]

Something like that. I think FO sells for around $30 locally so the price at Holy Water seems reasonable to me especially since I like PCC more.

 

[drizzleD]

it's more to get confirmed bottles of the beers they don't distribute like however improbable
not too concerned with the other ones

 

[AndresR]

The table in GG Park, at the Conservatory of Flowers ia available to reserve for sat March 23rd, for the next share. I might pull the trigger later today.

this is done over the phone?

 

[AndresR]

Ok, we got the table at the conservatory of flowers, reserved for Sat March 23rd.

Much excite!

It was $35. So if anyone wants to toss in a few bucks, that'd be cool.

I'll make a separate thread later this week, along with a spreadsheet.

I just started following HolyWater on Instagram... Those whiskeys on the wall, are they for sale or in-store consumption? Cause I would love to give that Weller 12 a try.

I'm a fan of McKenna 10yr.

random question:

I just had a phone interview with a company in South SF that went really well and sounds promising for the most part. would 80K/yr be enough to live comfortably in the area without a roommate? should I expect to let rent prices and commute times dictate where I live?

 

[stupac2]

would 80K/yr be enough to live comfortably in the area without a roommate?

lol


But seriously, it depends on what you mean by "in the area" and "comfortably". Just check out craigslist prices for apartments, my guess is that you'll have a lot of challenges finding anything that's a reasonable price at 80k solo salary on the peninsula or in SF proper. You would be able to find that in the east bay, but the commute over might not be reasonable.
