I guess the difference is we'll probably be able to just walk into a store and grab Expy for some time. But it is an awesome beer, indeed. Up there with Plead the 5th, Zhukov, Serpent's Stout, and a few others as my favorite non-BA imperial stouts.I would much rather roll with the Expedition stout which is apparently available on draft everywhere right now. Very good non barrel aged ris. But that's just me.

Hnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg. what time do they close?
Good stuff. Will hit them up for a bottle of backyard hopefully!I think 12. 3 cases reg, one case each of others. Think limit is 2 each for coffee/bw. I only grabbed backyard myself.
Backyard was out by the time I got there ~7:30. But Barleywine and Coffee were still kicking, 2 per person. I grabbed those plus 2-hearted plus some other goodies.Good stuff. Will hit them up for a bottle of backyard hopefully!
yeah, missed out on the backyard but grabbed a couple more bcbs variants, nothing wrong with that!Backyard was out by the time I got there ~7:30. But Barleywine and Coffee were still kicking, 2 per person. I grabbed those plus 2-hearted plus some other goodies.
Superstar (always forget which location my buddy frequents) got 3 cases delivered yesterday like 3p. My buddy was there as being delivered. Guy delivering had his car filled w cases for other deliveries.wow, nyc got more coffee and barleywine too. damn. LI got a dozen or so cases of backyard and it is imposible to get ahold of.
Monday at Torst after work it is.I love the spuyten event but am away this weekend. I'll probably try to do the torst thing Monday though.
Anyone hitting up any NYC Beer Week events? Thinking of Big Woody at Spuyten Saturday afternoon and then Perennial at Clinton Hall Saturday night. Probably skipping Cigar City at Torst, but we'll see.

Clinton Hall is claiming they have the only kegs of La Boheme and Trixie. Looking at their prices on beermenus for their regular stuff, doesn't make me optimistic for pricing at this event.
Monday CC event at Tørst. List (subject to change):
1/6bbl - Rum Barrel Aged Marshal Zhukov
1/6bbl - Hopped on the High Seas
1/6bbl - Cubano Espresso
1/6bbl - Gates of Hell
1/2bbl - Jai Alai IPA
hhhhhhhnnnnnnnnngggggAnother Cigar City event at BT (coincidentally on Monday as well):
Rum Barrel Aged MZ
Don Gavino
Illuminating the Path
Good Gourd Almighty
This list looks even better to me.
I mean, Torst's list is basically just as good. I love Cubano Espresso. But I've had it multiple times and have a bottle of Gates of Hell, so I'd prefer Blind Tiger's list personally, since I've had none of them.BT on Monday then haha
Am I meeting everyone at Blind Tiger then on Monday?![]()
I can't get there until after 6pm...hopefully there's still some stuff left then.Am I meeting everyone at Blind Tiger then on Monday?![]()
