Fieldwork Brewing

[tosh1]

Surprise CAN drop happening right now. Bad Conduct. 750 cans. Berkeley only.

I left about 5 minutes before they announced this I guess, if you do go today the brewery smells like Coconut.

If you aren't drinking In Bloom, you're doing it wrong. This one seems to fly a bit under the radar, but is damn near the tastiest beer they make.

As long as there are no lines i think i'll head over at 2ish if anyone wants a beer.

When I said soonish, I really meant I would be there at 5.

Sorry we missed each other.

Yeah, I guess when the standard is $4 - $6 for IPA then $8 isn't toooo bad for BA stout, but it's still a lot.

Edit: it sounds damn good, tho, like a Blue Bottle iced coffee. I'd probably be willing to pay that for two if I didn't have plans for Saturday.

Regular Speedway Stout is $8 a can so I'd say this is a good price for a BA beer these days.

this, 100%. My threshold is $1/oz and this is half that so yeah.

I like the idea of getting more servings out of Speedway, but that is steep. Oh well. Carry on...

Totally agree, I was expecting them to come in around $5 a can. At $8 I doubt I will buy any and just opt for the 750.

BCBS is generally considered a really good deal for BBA stouts and at best that's what $10 for 15oz? I'd say this is a good price for a BA stout.

Do you remember when BCBS was $5 a 12oz (in Boston at least)?

 

[AndresR]

Am I off when thinking the last Fieldwork BA release was infected, or something? Like from a year ago, in bottles.

There was a price hike when they went to 500 ml, but yeah fine. It's not that bad on second thought. Let's all pretend I didn't use the emoji.

CSB: I got a 4 pack of of '09 BCBS for like $16 when it came out.

am i the only one who did not like this beer, and thought why the **** are you aging it in Cabarnet Barrels?

Under 580 at Gilman appears to be a popular "campsite"

I'd camp there just to watch the insane traffic system in place. I love driving through that area wondering what side the car will plow into me on.

I had it on draft at their anniversary party last year and really didn't like it either. Way too tannic.

Yeah, I remember trying it and really wishing they'd kept the cab barrels out of the conversation - lent a sour edge to the beer that basically noped it for me.

 

[ABSTRACTlegend]

Can confirm that both years of Viking lament is tasting great. 2016 was a lot better tho

 

[atomicpunk5151]

No line at the Sacramento Tap Room when I was there at 10:30am. Plenty of both cans available. In and Out with no trouble or wait.

 

[archagon]

Any wait in Berkeley? (Or did they sell out by now?) Didn't feel like waking up an hour early to go mull around in a queue...

No wait at all at 9:30ish. I can't believe they would sell out based on the amount of people around earlier

 

[archagon]

Nobody wants our walez. :'(

 

[beerandraiderfan]

Sounds like I need to stop by Ledgers and Fieldwork on my way to the DIPA fest tomorrow. . .
