Yes. Pass by this little spot on my way home, and it is right next to Dolores Park. Also own a spot on Polk St. and somewhere in the East Bay.

Had several beers at the spot in Oakland and was very underwhelmed.

Rare Barrel: $30 for a ****** Flanders because **** you!
Rare Barrel: finally figuring out that blonde sours are better than dark sours after nearly two years in operation!
Rare Barrel: where you can take the brewer out of The Bruery, but you'll never take The Bruery out of the brewer. Now with a 50% markup!

Isn't Enscorcelled a dark sour? And the dark All Systems Go was the best one.

Try as I might, I simply cannot get past the name. It cannot be overstated how ludicrous it is.

Also, I tried almost all of their beers at our bottleshare before FWI.

I liked Rare Barrel's Consigliere bc it reminded me of Tart of Darkness.

With the impending billion degree weather this forthcoming weekend, sounds like we will be heading out to Santa Cruz.

New ladyfriend doesn't drink or disc golf. Perhaps she can pawn me off on one of you for a little bit on Saturday.

Definitely won't be there Friday morning, gotta bang out some court appearances first thing in Winnemucca, NV on Fri.

Fri night possible, but Sat. morning disc & afternoon SARA looking more likely.

This is how I feel right now. I'm going to pace myself since I'm going back tomorrow. Great list this week...

Mo' Passion is fantastic. Too bad they don't fill it.

Steve Surprise is no slouch, either. Looking forward to going back tonight.

Mo' Passion is a top 3 CM beer ever.

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks Mo' Passion is insanely good.

Looks like it is on tap at The Rare Barrel this weekend. Might be enough to convince me to stop in there tomorrow night

Steve's Surprise is legit.

How the **** did you get a fill!?

Buddy got it filled last Friday, when they were still doing them, and showed great restraint by not opening it.

Do they generally put on new beers Wed/Thurs? I need to start going more regularly for fills.

Not sure of timing. There was a dry spell when I went two to three weeks back when the fills were limited to one pale ale/ipa, and then this week+ has seen a lot of action on the board.

Seems when they post a new beer release it is on fill for 2-3 days max afterwards.

Mostly true. Stuff that flies out the door is often available only day 1.

Anyone have a suggestion for Tahoe Mountain Brewery Taproom (Truckee) vs. Brewery (larger space; Tahoe City)?

Both sell bottle(s)/growler(s) to go?
