I picked up a bottle in Phoenix when you want to come over to try some of the berry one.

 

[DannyFullpint]

The drink or the crowd?

PBJ&Crime that I brought to nano's not enough for you? I understand that they will be pouring Endovelicous...and that **** is almost basically life....but damn....I feel used and abused now.

PBJ was very tasty, but I had a pour of a Berry White at the Abnormal share and was blown away. Ridiculously tasty stuff.

I still have a black berry white bottle from last year's release...killed all the others, also planning on getting a new set this sunday when they go on sale. Those prices though, ouchie.

Yeah I can't bang in that mead game. I'd need another job.

It is a tough price to swallow at checkout time, but last year I bought 1 full set (roughly $240) and am only now on my last bottle. So if I do math to make myself feel better...it cost me less than $1/day. Also sharing it gave me the warm fuzzies when ppls' eyes lit up after they tried it

At least with mead you can drink it over several months and not have to worry about drastic flavor changes.

Also basically shelf stable and much cheaper than mead:

Three kegs of BB remain at the tasting room.

Guess I should of skipped brewing today and just gone to Alpine.

Gulls season opener tonight, any one else going?

BB on tap at GF tasting room. Okay at best. Same with the Nelson.

For $50, I'd rather buy a good bottle of rye or bourbon.

I generally do as well but occasionally I'll go for some mead.

Dude, you are taller than almost everyone else....whether they want to see you or not you are kinda....there. =P

I was at Kaaboo and saw Shaq perform as a DJ. It was so obvious where he was on stage. Looked like The Mountain from Game of Thrones. #HugePeopleProblems

That one European mead that kingg stocks is $50, and it's the best mead I've ever had. I'd much rather pay that amount than pay ten bucks less for some adjuncted cloyingly sweet hot mess.

...that said, I'll probably still buy one of each bottle to bring to my work Halloween party.

Wow that was quick. Got some more and some Not Nelson. Swell weekend ahead.

Which one? The world needs to know!

Yep, this stuff is bomb-diggity: https://bineandvine.com/shop/mead-cider-sake/apis-póltorak-jadwiga-750ml/

ETA: It was the world's #1 rated mead for like 10 years on Ratebeer.

Jeff did an amazing job pouring and talking for how many people were there. sdreaper already stated what I would think was the best, as well as a dry mead aged in bourbon. I was priced out so skipped on purchasing bottles, which I was fine with after trying the mead that was for sale.

Yup, click the link, you can purchase on our website and select Local Pickup when you checkout.

Mikkeller for sure, just not of the entire board and I can't remember which ones were being offered when I was there yesterday.

Ended up at amplified, which does.

Y'all need to get on the crowler train down here. So much more convenient than growlers.

With all of the can releases down here, there is no room for crowlers in my fridge.

Anyone preview Double Barrel Speedway? Good enough to max out? Having a great time getting cooked in line!
