Let me know if you come by the production site in Salinas. It's right by the 101 so you would probably be passing it on the way back to the city.

Plenty of draft at both the tasting room and pub. Fingers crossed we will be able to can on Tuesday so accounts would get it on their normal day next week. And to think coming into this week, it was 38 miles we were stressing about being ready.

I left at 4 so I'm not 100 percent sure. I would believe so as we still had a decent amount left and we had moved all of the sales to the bar as opposed to the extra table we had set up.

 

[KevSal]

for anyone interested i was there today at 530 and they still had everything, but dammit i forgot to pick up glasses!

fridges had 38, wyld stylin, spooky juice, buzz light, mai tai and first city ipa.

61k still 3pp $23 each

 

[brentsdodgers]

Checking in on the first beer I packaged with when I started back in May. Damn tasty.

Not really. I think we are emptying some barrels this week though...

Anyone know how quickly things have been going as of late? I can come through the area instead of taking the 5 if there's a chance this will still be around on Friday.

If you can't get it at the brewery, it hangs around spots in SF and other places for a few days after releases.

Just saw that the brewery doesn't open until 3 on Friday. That would put me through the bay during rush hour.

Maybe some of the usual suspects in Sacramento will get some and still have it on Friday.

Had it on draft a few weeks ago. It was certainly sweet, but luckily it wasn't full on Cycle-tier cloying garbage.

I’m sure there are plenty of pre-diabetics that are interested in taking it off your hands.

Anyone know what bottles are to go from Alvarado Salinas?

I’ve heard cycle stouts called lots of things, but never cloyingly sweet. Besides the maple beer they did I can’t think of one that was overly sweet, and I’ve had a LOT of cycle stouts. Which ones did you consider overly sweet? I’m genuinely curious and this is not an attack in any way

The TM series, days of the week, double barrel Rare DOS, home state (granted, not a stout), 4th anniversary hazelnut, big casita...

Not every single one of their beers is that sweet, sure. But enough of the ones I’ve tried have been overwhelmingly sweet that I just don’t seek them out and only try them when a friend opens one at a tasting.

Of course, they taste exactly how you would expect a beer advertised as being a vanilla, hazelnut, coffee stout to taste. So I’m not faulting them for that. And they can be enjoyable in an ounce or two pour.

I just also prefer drier beers, so probably some bias.

[anvindr]

16 a can lmfaoooo who do they expect to buy this? if they want that kind of price per oz they need to wax some ****ing bottles so people cane use them to jerk themself off with

Does the fact that it's in a can means it should be cheaper? That's really not a particularly absurd price, it would be a $22 bomber which no one would bat an eye at for a BA quad.

Anyway I'm definitely curious about it as a quad fanatic, there's no way I get down there any time soon though.

I honestly think that's it. People see can and sub-consciously think it should be cheap.

ok Stu, let me know how it is. At that price tag it should last at least a little while

i agree, presentation is huge, which is why this probably should have been bottled and waxed.

i also cited examples of BA cans that were under $10
