"Hey man can you pick me up _____ from the release this weekend?"

"No"


What the hell have I been doing saying "yes" these past few years...

I feel like I've just found Jesus or something

I would like to fill in the blank for you:
"Hey man can you pick me up 4 homeless people so we can get 20 FO's from the release this weekend?"

Oh wow! $40 of possible infected Ale Apothecary beer :/

I visited san fran back in early march. Saw a bottle of ale apothacary at a store and got siked, until i saw the sticker price of 50 bucks. I dont get it. Must be brewed with rare gypsy tears or somethin

So i grabbed a bottle of brise bons bons instead for like15 bucks. Money well spent. And tomes dont come by very often rounnd these parts

Can anyone explain the logic behind charging $50 a bottle? It's a shame too because i heard they make some pretty solid offerings. They must be taking notes from Cascade.

I don't think I've been to a planned release since the Street Green debacle of 2015. Never again. And as much as I love DG, felt good to pass on the Keepers Membership. All $$$ goes to the new house

All $$$ goes to the new house

This has been my philosophy for the past few months. I find I'm drinking less, not shipping boxes, and honestly paying down the mortgage early is better than any beer.

Congrats on the new house too.

Takes a lot of time to hollow out all the logs that they ferment their beer in.

I want that beer so much. Faust is so good.

In almost all cases, I agree with you.

But when it comes to the SN Oktoberfest collabs, I don't care if it comes out in May.

The wife works part time as a wedding coordinator for a friend's ranch. She did one wedding a couple weekends where they gave two drink tickets per attendee and then went to a cash bar. The couples parents had bought all the beer and booze and all money from the bar went towards their honeymoon.

Who the **** does that?! You want your parents to pay for the 20k wedding AND your honeymoon?

That must be a SF pricing adjustment. In Bend and pretty much everywhere else I've seen the bottles they run $30-40 depending on the beer. It's still not cheap and not something I would pay to drink regularly but IMO some of the few beers worth that price.

He runs a time and labor intensive brewery on a very small scale. It would be difficult to make a meaningful return on the brewery selling the same beers for a lot less.

And yet De Garde manages it...

I'm pretty sure Ale Apothecary produces a far smaller volume than de Garde.

Goose Island just did a Facebook Live while making the cold brew for Bourbon County Coffee. Nothing beats that 4.5 month old cold brew on the day the beer is released.

This may actually be how someone dies at a beer release.

Any worse than the BBQ lines?

At least the BBQ lines are moving by noon. Not so much for Friday Mags.

I'm not sure what's worse: the beer or the author
