Regular or BA Abominable?

B2K is whales, but I dream I’ll try it one day. Hopefully, they make it again and in greater quantity, but most breweries decide after making their most amazing beer to never make it again.
¯\_(ツ)_/

You do know that was B2 of that beer right? B1 was B1K. We should get BA Abominable, not sure on C+C though but since some stores got coffee/spice wars I am betting some may get the variant as well.

I guess it is just me and souredstouts drinking on Thursday. Fine



But, anyone want lunch beers on Friday? I got some time before my 4:30 flight.

I have learnt UBER since my last trip. So wherever. Let me know.

We got BA Darkstar and Darkstar Spice Wars (at a few shops), so I would expect to get BA Abom although not so sure on coffee/cinnamon BA Abom.

But if anything, Bottlecraft will get it.

Never saw Spice Wars

They make a ****-ton of BBomb so I wouldn't be surprised to see quite a bit of it down here. Apparently KDS and its variants are turding it up in LA.

Dat Coffee Cinn BBomb tho...the only beer I've truly chased for the past three years.

No, I didn’t. I had read a review that lead me to believe they were very different in flavor profile, so I assumed different recipes. After reading more about it, it does appear to be a remake. #TiL

Did anyone get / try those Abnormal Pappy bottles?

Did anyone get / try those Abnormal Pappy bottles?

Got 1,2,and a couple 4s. Need to trade for a 3 to have a complete set.

Have tried 4 and 1...got a small sip of 2 but basically chicago-style pour so can't really say I tried it.

Looking forward to opening the set with a couple ppl (assuming I can secure #3) over the holidays. Likely will do it blind for fun.

I got to share a bottle of Pappy Barrel #1.



Really enjoyed it. Fudge, dark fruit, leather, subtle smoke, wood. My favorite Abnormal beer since I prefer no adjunct stouts. I've promised my own bottle to some one else so I'm glad I was able to try it. Missed out on 2-4 since I wasn't in town during the pick up dates.

I'm in the same boat, totally spaced on 3 and now I have 1,2, and 4.

I got 3 and 4. Wasn't available to go for the first two.

Took me 5 minutes to close a trade 1:1 for my #4 for someone's #3 over on reddit. So I will have the full set next monday when he comes down to san diego.

All you filling out sets and I'm here in Canada just hoping for a half ounce pour at a bottle share.

Would anyone be interested in helping me out to pick up some Modern times cans over the next few weeks.

Long story short is, the bachelor from the bachelor party I attended in SD is hosting a NYE party and is interested in trying to get some cans for it. Would obviously cover cost, shipping, and a TY box with some Texas goodies.

If you think you can help, shoot me a PM.

I'd help you out but money is exceedingly tight for us this month until like the third week of December. If it's approaching the latter half of Dec and you still need help, message me.

Sounds good, posted here as you have been an awesome trustee and I feel like I have abused you enough already!

Edit: And cans of BA Ten Fidy (saw IG post at Bottlecraft Solana Beach)

Hilarious how out of touch I was with Fremont distro. Casual search of Bine & Vine prior stock had multiple variants of BA Dark Star, Rusty Nail, & B-Bomb (sold out already?!). All I knew before was that Fremont had sent over some IPAs, so very happy to learn this.

To add to my scatter-brainededness, I went to pop one of my many BA Speedway 2012s. I was like, wow, this is delicious, so coffee forward. Looked closer at the bottle, and its my last bottle of BA Kopi 2013. Oh well.

Ok, this is no longer acceptable. I agree with you... again. Blerg!

Why buy Tweak when you can just mix cold brew in with some Jim Beam?

Jim Beam black maybe. Have you tried Jim Beam white label lately? **** man, that's like old dish water and whiskey
