Going to Cellarmaker tonight around 8:30-9 if anyone wants to join so I'm not the weird loner in the corner smelling and warming up my beers.

They do serve their beers about 2 degrees warmer than freezing temp.

Beat is on sale this weekend? Better get to Perry's ...

Not tonight. Tomorrow

Are you heading to RB for Saturdays release?

Wasn't on my radar. Are their releases pretty mellow or on the shitshow end of the scale? I might be able to swing it.

it will be busy i am sure but they handle it very well IMO. One of the better releases. i plan on getting there a little early as i have to get out rather quickly. Can take care of this for you if you can make it there by 3 at the latest?

I really appreciate the gesture but after some long, hard thought, driving to the east bay for a pale ale is a bit nutty.

It's not a pale ale?

No worries bud.

row 2?

 

[loeyjarko]

If only we could employ drones to do our dirty work. I thought this was 2015.

 

[drgarage1]

row 2?

Ah... I thought this was still about Ensorcelled.

LOL. I was going to pick up some row 2 for him and meet him at the ensorcceled release.

At least we will all see eachother at Ryan's bottleshare. Hopefully Row 2 bottles are becoming a thing. Can't really be arsed with pliny these days.

yeah I def wouldnt mind the Row 2 being a normal thing. Don;t forget i can get BP as well if youd like. Be more than happy to bring some to Ryan's for you or whoever.

Is it safe to say that they are making less Blind Pig and more Pliny? Hence the lack of distro.

I believe so. Not sure it will see distro again tbh. But then again, new equipment, that could easily change as I am sure demand is def high enough for it

New equipment, but Natalie had made a point of saying in one of her posts that the brewing capacity wouldn't be any larger as a result. They haven't bothered attempting to meet even local demand for PtE/BP up to now - doubt that'll change anytime soon.

I got bottles at a local store first week of March (bottled late Feb). It still gets out into the wild once in a while.

 

[RyanG1]

I will be at Rare Barrel tomorrow (Friday) at opening if anyone is around.

 

[bdogg1]

That cm double d is soooo damn good. And growler fills of it just completed my day.

 

[stupac2]

Just stopped by Fieldwork for the first time, it's a pretty nice space and their beer is quite good. There were a couple I didn't like as much (the session IPA and the Rye Pale), but the Chocolate Milk Brown was awesome and so was Canopy, a mosaic (IIRC) pale ale.

Definitely worth stopping by if you're in north Berkeley.

 

[PHBoiler]

You guys may already know about them, but I'm compelled to post anyhow. Shady Oak Barrelhouse is one to watch. Their Brett IPA was really outstanding. It held up to some heavy hitters Friday night and damn near stole the show. If it wasn't better than HF Sue head to head then it was on a level footing. Really impressive. If you guys don't like it, just send it to me.

Do they do Funkatronic? (Or something similar.) Had that the other day and it was solid.

Had a bottle of that last week and really liked it. Wish the price point was a couple dollars less but...

Less than $11? That's the price at my local shop.

 

[blsvin]

Funkatronic kinda reminded me of 'Merica by Praire. Nelson dank and brett funk. Pretty good

 

[drgarage1]

I've only had Bokanon. It didn't quite work for me. Wasn't bad, wasn't great.

 

[Sage1]

It's running around $13 in SD. $11 would be right where I'd want it.

For a 750 of a dry-hopped brett beer? I was definitely expecting $20+. (I didn't buy it, MrFootstones brought it to a tasting.)
