For those of you who can't/don't want to get down to Santa Cruz on a regular basis, Gus's Market and City Beer Store both have some SARA bottles (Bernice and Lady in Grey) available. Prob at some other bottle shops, too, but I have confirmed with my own eyes that they are at those spots.

Kinda a silly question, but does anyone know of anywhere around here that sells Orval glasses? I just realized that I don't own one, I was sure I did.

Orval day is 3/24. Toronado will have an event that day, & glasses are usually available. I’m sure some eastbay spots will as well

Oh that's good to know, it being a Saturday I might actually be able to swing it...

EDIT: Lol except I'm in Santa Monica for a wedding that day. Ooops.

I was on a local search for an Orval glass for a while. I didn't wanna order one online then eventually found some at ØL in WC, I know I've seen em before at Monument Wine and Spirits and Ledgers had some for a minute yet last time I was there they were out. If I see one I'll grab it for ya if you'd like

I can check out Ledger's this weekend, good excuse to see what they have beer-wise, there's usually something neat (plus they're the only place around here that I've ever found JW Lees).

last time I was there they had a bunch of Fantome on "clearance" I hung around there for a minute digging through their stuff. I think I've only seen JW Lees there, Beercraft and the Jug Shop iirc. It was almost everywhere when I was in Portland earlier in the year.
 
Speaking of glassware, anyone spot a De Struise glass in the Bay Area? Found one at Star Grocery two years ago and haven't seen any since. Best glass ever...

Also, unrelated, but what's up with Peche 'n' Brett's batch numbering? Saw two at CBS yesterday (sold out now) and the label clearly says B3 with a bottling date of January 2018. But batch 3 is apparently 2014 or 2015, so I'm a bit confused. (It's also not on Untappd, though I guess the release is happening today? Did we get a few early bottles or something?)

Mine always just had the year stamped on the side/top.
 
Just dropped by Berkeley Bowl. Didn't find any HM but there was plenty of SARA and 3F. I cleared out the Saison Bernice but there's still many bottles of Lady in Grey. Be careful, though, if you buy any bottles of A&G. Just opened mine and the cork shot off like a bullet. If it didn't hit the roof it would have shot twenty feet in the air... at least.

Just got home 10 mins ago. Maybe they re-stocked? These were the last two HM bottles tho. Couple Bernice still sitting.
