If anyone has an empty can of Pure Project Sakura - preferably not super dented or damaged - I've got a friend who'd like one. I can give you a couple Modern Times cans or whatever for saving me the can.

If you can meet at one of the Miramar spots I can hook you up.

Lol at the recent BDBS email selling 2017 KBS limit 1 if you buy 6 other bottles. KBS is collecting dust at Clems as of last weekend.

I'm still surprised people shop there. Offerings and prices aren't competitive at all. They need to cut the BS with the "Must buy 6,(to buy 1 of the beers you actually want)", while KBS and many others are shelf-turding it up, even in Golden Hill. F that place.

Not sure who’s buying into those “deals.” Not me. Probably years since I bought from him. These dumb practices have got to be driving away business (at least those smarter than new money folks).

So... Alchemist is here now? Cool... I guess...

 

[rcubed1]

Great if it's fresh. If not, who cares.

 

[DannyFullpint]

Finally some real IPA in SoCal.

 

[arren]

Oh boy, can't wait to see the Pliney vs Headey debate have a local renaissance

 

[Shakedwnst]

Good news is they just assume all their beer will be consumed fresh and don’t date a single can of it.

 

[kingg]

I can positively confirm all three Alchemist beers are very fresh.

If anyone cares, I have all three up on the site for pre-order: https://bineandvine.com/pa_brewery/alchemist/?post_type=product

Sweet, thank you! This is dumb but I'm really curious to try a fresh can of Heady vs a can that has been in my fridge for the past 5+ years.

IPA verticals are the worst. Except for Expo.

My new goal in life is to brew a beer called “back of the frig” and it will be a triple IPA in 19.2 oz cans with a Modern Times design.

As long as you don't charge $30/4pk I'm in!

 

[sdreaper]

Was just told that modern times helles, abbadon, will be $12/4pk

 

[Tyrsis]

Was just told that modern times helles, abbadon, will be $12/4pk

And yet PP Sixers of IPAs are cheaper per oz

 

[chemman141]

pretty sure I am casing up on that, haven't quite decided yet.

Pretty much official, I'll be back for a week visit this summer for a work conference. July 9-13 and I should be there the weekends before and after.

It'll have been 2 years since the last conference, pretty stoked to see everyone and get fatter drinking all the beers.

You’re great and all, but are you bringing the Mrs? Excited to hang out!!!

 

[rcubed1]

Well you'll now be able to get crowlers at Societe. Just got their machine in.

 

[Phischy1]

You’re great and all, but are you bringing the Mrs? Excited to hang out!!!

She will be coming up the first weekend. And leaving Tuesday or Wednesday. This won't be official until the 22nd and shortly thereafter we will buy flights. It's taken 6 months to get approval and the wait has been killing me.

I hope this becomes an annual trip.
