The Alvarado Hype Train

New batch of Mai Tai is exceptionally good. When does the DDH version go back in the rotation brentsdodgers ?

they just dropped it a few weeks back, some time as their triple absolution, so probably won’t be back in a lil bit : /

Anyone else here a huge fan of Blazing Saddles??? As long as that beer stays tasty and hits distro down here, consider it sold. Side note, the beer was good.

it’s good! but i got so much haze righ now i opted not to pick it up when i saw a bunch get carted into toronados when i was there today (i did want moonlight tho )

hopefully this batch remains just as tasty tho!

Good to know. I'll be sure to grab a can or two when/if they make their way down to San Diego. Sat out the last round of Mai Tai, not because I hadn't been liking it but rather because it was on par with all previous batches and I just didn't need any more.

I had a single can of the first batch and thought that it was well made but just didn't like the hop profile. I'm pretty sure I just don't like bru-1 hops, I've had only only a few beers made with them and they've each tasted not very pleasant.

Yeah you must have just missed it. Don't know when it's coming down the pipeline again. Probably at least again for SF beer week

A friend is in Monterey...does the Alvarado St location there usually carry cans to go? Any bottleshops I can suggest that might have some of their offerings?

yea they do! if he goes wednesday it’s usually a can drop too. in the back beer garden there’s a cooler full of 4 packs!

not sure on shops but they only distro to places that have their draft. so a bottle shop bar hybrid is your best bet

There’s a Fieldwork taproom nearby if you’re interested in crowlers.

There are a few places in Monterey that'll have their cans. Bottles n Bins down by the Aquarium usually has a bunch, as well as Grove Market in Pacific Grove.

I know this because I always stop at the brewery, then BnB, then Grove Market before making my way to my in-laws house every time we drive to Monterey!

brentsdodgers last years precious oils IPL was amazing. What’s the deets on this new batch?

7.0 % west coast ipa. Pretty straightforward besides there being a hella of a lot more wet hops in the brite tank than last year.

 

[Juncture]

This batch of Precious Oils was so good, wish I picked up more than two cans. My favorite beer from Alvarado is coming out this week so that's always good. Hope they don't tweak the recipe too much.

ha i was thinking minesweeper

i’m pretty excited for raw cuts, been looking for an ipa to crush, so many dipas.

cool run offs is fantastic and the new recipe for haze of our lives sound fantastic. kinda bummed i missed them but last week i just had way to many hops to drink to pick up more and the spot i go to is 4-pack only or i would have tried for 2 and 2

 

[Juncture]

Palapa?

Yes. Palapa along with Vengeful are my favorites to come out of Alvarado St.

i’m super excited about raw cuts, sounds right down my alley

 

[Juncture]

Not as good as I remembered it, but it's still pretty good. I usually let Alvarado Street stuff mellow out a bit in the can.

 

[drgarage1]

I will say this is the best batch of Contains No Juice in ages.

 

[drizzleD]

Anyone else try the thunder in paradise and get completely blown away ? Had it on tap at city beer and imo, was on Monkish levels. Specifically reminded me of the space cookie series from Monkish

 

[KevSal]

no but now im really interested. in fact i was really interested in all of the beers last week but was so tired on Thursday i headed home instead of swooping them up.

all of the beer labels last week reminded me of the new muse album cover

im definitely getting that Nelson baby tho! and strata sounds tasty too
