I was there at opening and took what was, at the time, the last bottle on the shelf, haha. Cheers!

Looks like they were sticking one out at a time. I saw one picked up from the shelf and grabbed the next one out.

Anyone know if Cellarmaker is still doing growler fills of Taco Hands? The website says they are, but not sure how up to date that is.

Any thoughts on the new batch?

The web site is usually pretty up-to-date. I'd guess it holds true for at minimum the first few hours of open today (they opened 30 minutes ago).

They are. It's quite good. Never had the oroginal batch, but I get a little cilantro and tomato flavor that pops out over the hops.

Should be. Hit'em up on FB to dbl Chk. I'll be there tonight with a few empty growlers in tow.

 

[AndresR]

They also put on Imp. Coffee n Cigs today (No Growlers). It's left over from a batch that went into bourbon barrels. That'll be awesome when it's ready.

 

[jeberman]

Thanks for the info! I'm heading over around 6, hopefully they're still filling growlers then. Just want one for a dinner party.

I'm an out of towner making the necessary brewery and bottle shop stops this weekend, and planning on a serious haul. Where can I find shippers either in the city, or anywhere along 280 from the city to Campbell? I have client meetings in Campbell and Woodside so hoping to find a place to stop on the way. Thanks

 

[AndresR]

Some Bevmos might have wine shippers. There is one off the 280 and Serramonte exit in South SF.

Cellarmaker's still doing fills of Taco Hands as of a half-hour ago, and even though I didn't see any evidence of it on the walls, they still have Taco Hands shirts for sale.

 

[AndresR]

Yup, taco hands avail for growlers still

Got incredibly lucky just now- just happened to swing by Ol Beer Cafe in Walnut Creek as they put Framboos on the shelf.... got the last one as there were 4 other guys with a bottle each, have never been so beer lucky. The weird part is that they tweeted they had some for sale after the sold out- pretty dick thing to do to have people show up for nothing....

Hell yeah dude. Pretty sure that between Trappist Provisions releasing it first, Caps N' Taps following, then Berkeley Bowl and Ol running out today, that's the last of it in the Bay. Glad I snagged one, I'd been stalking Provisions for 2 months since it's literally around the corner and they released it while I was in San Diego. Berkeley Bowl came to the rescue this morning

was in about 30 minutes ago and they still have 1 or 2 bottles, they're just hiding upstairs.

 

[bugdoc]

I'm sure Healthy Spirits has, or will be getting, their own stash of Framboos at some point soon. I'm also sure that they'll FB-post the **** on some random weekday when there's no prayer of anyone outside a 10-block radius of their stores getting one. C'est la vie.

Ah, nevermind that makes me feel a bit better- the bartender had told me it was all gone after I purchased mine.

 

[tosh1]

Alameda craft got some, so i believe. . No idea how they distributed there 5 other bottles.

 

[falc0n26001]

I'm sure Whales Unlimited will get some

Temptation is the only beer I count on not being available when I go. Still no sure why it's released only once or twice a year though. I need to stock up next time I see it though.
