Not sure if this is old news or what, but city beer has cans of Swamis, Ponto, and Chronic.

They got some during Beer Week, not sure if this is from the same batch.

If it were, they'd have moved them to the "reserve coolers" (and jacked up the price).

So does/did Encinel Mrkt in Alameda. It was yummy.

If anyone's interested in 100% legitimately distributed Hill Farmstead Perry's has a few (Edith, Norma) at the bargain price of $35 a pop. Discounted from $40, so it's really a steal.

Edit: Norma was probably not what I saw at Perry's. It was probably one of her less attractive sisters- the one everyone says is so nice but never gets a date.

Great chatting with you mattQ. Aptos st really lived up to its name along with a really impressive beer list. Those societe beers were awesome.

They're selling Norma for $35? Thats really not a bad price since its at the brewery for $30

I have my HF names confused. I took a look at Norma online and I don't remember the one at Perry's being waxed. I should have taken a picture. Florence maybe? Is that a plebeian-level HF offering? I asked the guy how they got them and his response was, "Yes, very rare."

It was probably Norm - non waxed but very rares version

Is Norm an imperial version of Vera Mae? Possibly with its own glass mug?

My brother is in Oakland tonight waiting for a flight tomorrow. Any breweries he should check out? Let me know if he needs to be more specific with location.

Take BART into the city to go to Cellarmaker. Or I guess up to Berkeley for Rare Barrel, but you need to get a cab from the station unless you want to walk for a while.

 

[Sage1]

If he has to stay in Oakland, then the main thing to do would be Beer Revolution. Not a brewery, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[owlsfan]

My brother just said he's in oakdale? Is that close? Any recommendations for that? Sorry for his terribleness.

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

Nah, that's far.

Only about 90 miles from Beer Rev.

I didn't know England was close to the bay area.

Almost as close as Oakdale is.

Blame my brother?

Usually about three months of conditioning, if past batches are predictive...

Apparently BART isn't a fan of B.A.R.T.: http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blo...appreciate-one-california-brewerys-bart-beer/
