Ya they ****** up and sold all of it at no limits before the "official" release date and all sold out in a matter of a day or two.

Meh, who cares.

I looked at the list and the prices and it's kinda "meh". The LPK vertical is basically the only thing I saw that's intriguing and it's not worth going into the city for. I always wonder how these places choose the things they age, it seems completely scattershot.

Also, I didn't realize that Monk's and the Trappist opened at about the same time, interesting coincidence.

I mulled this one over for a while but decided against it. Mostly because I didnt want to wake up at 4am to stand on 16th street for hours. Anyone there now? I may swing by if its not the shitshow I imagine it would be.

I attended and enjoyed it. It was amazing to drink and buy to-go bottles of vintage Cantillon for the price of what Monks normally charges for Cascade or Logsdon.

This is a big surprise to me, and the biggest reason why I didn't even bother. Their pricing is absurd normally (which is why I don't usually go there), so it's hard to believe it wasn't exorbitant for the event.

Glad it turned out well for those in attendance!

I went to the party this year so no need to do that again (fun as it was last year). Oh, and there's no way I could make tomorrow anyway. Have fun!

damn that's pricey. What was MSRP again on those? $73 a bottle?

But they sold out quickly and factor in shipping if I recall. I am not buying any at that price.

I think the Berry White series is $85 at the source.

 

[Gaseous Clay]

Can’t convince myself $85 is worth it for a bottle of bwhite. It was less than $85 but more than $70 when I saw it last year in an AZ store, so it’s definitely a pricey mead, but $85 on a small bottle I’ll finish in a night or two...meh.

He's a scholar, a certified nacademic on these beers.

 

[matedog]

beerandnosh any word on the new Alameda tasting room? Per Insta, it looks like it's coming along.

 

[AndresR]

Last min, but for all the nerds out there....

Looking to offload 2 tix for tonight's 630pm Last Jedi at the Kabuki. Tix are in the balcony. $35 for the pair.

The Kabuki still has a bar, but I hear it pretty weak now. But the seats are prefect with tables to bring in your own with no issue. They've even given me empty pint glasses in the past.

Give me a shout if interested.

It's coming along well as we head into the final stretch with construction and licensing. No hard date but looking like early in the new year.

The T has Stivo still. Think I may go there tonight once I'm done with finals if anyone wants to touch tips

[Arbitrator]

Anyone checked out IBU in Milpitas? A little pricey at $8-$12 for pours, but great setup and bottle list.
