Lots of Alvarado in East bay. An ****, No Juice is silly good.

where?

 

[tosh1]

where?

Alameda Craft had plenty yesterday.

 

[brentsdodgers]

does alvarado or moonraker make it to distro in SF? or are we all about to turn into NE-bags driving hours to crack open some random new canned hoppy water?

Let me know the next time you come down to Sante and I can bring you some cans of whatever is available at the time. Probably won't make it to the city for a while myself

 

[AptosBeerDrinker]

Man this has me thinking about Mai Tai hopefully being year-round from Alvarado St.

Love Mai Tai but Contains No Juice was just stupid good. Best bottled/canned hoppy beer in NorCal with only Cellarmaker's bottles as competition if you ask me.

If I can find anymore, sure. It'll likely be Saturday I can get back out to grab any that are left. I'll let you know. (I might have one can I have not already promised out of the ones I bought yesterday)

Agree completely. Was just sticking with the "tropical" IPA. All of you guys even cleared out the Salinas spot in the first week.

Anyone tried this place yet? Tap list is absurd:

Yep. Hit it everyone so often on my way home. Right where Division hits Mission. Good food, lots of Fieldwork, as you can see.

Also, Mamouche vertical(s) at Monks today. Just a few blocks up.

 

[Wino1]

^anyone going to that? I'll likely swing by after work

Hopefully if work/train cooperate.

I can't imagine what they are going to charge for that. But if I liked Mamouche, it's not too often i'd have that opportunity.

Looked it up. $25 for two four ounce pours.

I'd do that for LPK in a heartbeat. Not for Mamouche though.

Right in the feels. I just had to fly back last night....

Edit: Just saw the price. That's a pass for me

That's ~$75 for a bottle, which isn't absurd at all for a bar price for a limited, vintage lambic. I expected it to be significantly more.

Yea, **** that haha

 

[brokensail1]

I'm surprised that you all seem surprised.

 

[BigToad22]

So Bourbon Pub at levi stadium has either 1L Bud Lights or pbr and a Jameson back for $5 during happy hour.

No break on the $14 Delirium pours though.

 

[NAD1983]

I'm surprised that you all seem surprised.

They had a 2015/2016 "vertical" of some jolly pumpkin beer for $14 (4oz of each) when I was in on Sunday. At that rate you're practically making money if you buy the Mamouche.

In other news this is amazing. Thanks Ryan_G! It's a Brett IPA? If so, this is the best I've ever had and clean enough that I would guess Conan or London Ale yeast.

Not sure.

Glad you enjoy it. Will get you some more their next hyped release

Not a Brett IPA, it's an oddly worded way of saying they're using Saccharomyces Brux Trois, which for years was classified as a Brett strain until someone fully analyzed it and realized it's actually Sacc that has a lot of similar behavioral characteristics to Brett. Sacc Trois throws off huge tropical esters - as the copy on the CNJ can references - whereas Conan tends to throw more stone fruit/citrus.

Been hearing a ton of great things about this batch, looking forward to enjoying some this weekend.

I had it last night, and while it was very good, I gotta say some of you guys kinda made it sound like I'd be spending the weekend nursing a blown mind. Definitely on par with Bissell Bros, Fiddlehead, Trillium etc in terms of juicy hazy citrus DIPAs, but I don't think it necessarily outshines any of them...or Cellarmaker for that matter. Still, I'm stoked to be getting something like this locally and in 16oz can format.

It certainly didn't transport me to another dimension but I thought it was quite a bit better than all 5 of the Trillium cans I had last week and on par with the best that Cellarmaker has to offer.

I don't trade so I can't speak to any of those beers. My comment was about Northern California not New England.

Well okay, different squids for different kids, I suppose. Again, I'm not shitting on this beer, I think it's great and I'm happy it's around.

Has anyone seen/know if BA Ten Fidy is hitting in the Bay Area? I got a buddy whose bday is coming up and I know he's jonsing to try this beer. It's supposed to see distro right around now right?

Nation wide distro for it. Should land.

It's landed in Ohio, hasn't yet landed in IL or WI. Haven't seen it in CA yet. Soonish? Sounds like they made a decent bit, which is phenomenal news.
