Crowlers are the death of the growler.

So what's really new in the last 2 years? I missed out on Burning Beard so that's one of my top musts.

Council/Societe
Fall/RCNP/NPBC/Toro
PPOB
Tiki Joints
Burning Beard
Weekday lunch in downtown: Monkey Paw, Resident, Neighborhood

I highly doubt I'll get to north north county, most of the time I'll be staying in PB.

Then I got one more spot for you.

 

[smithj21541]

Agreed on crowler. I don't like Then as I can't drink 32oz in a single evening without some serious pre-planning or dedication.
Highly recommend resident!

On this last point...

On this alchemist subject. Is Stone doing the distro on them? Timing of this and the IPA event they did recently is really close. Also seeing shops selling them at single cans/ $7.

Craft beer 2018...

Craft beer guild, place by me in Ventura county wanted you to join their "membership", buy one bottle, then they would sell you a can for $8. Total wine has them for $6 a can.

I flew back twice for this conference on my dime (on employer time and conference was comp'd). This time they're actually paying for airfare and a per diem...but I'm staying with friends. I have yet to decide if I want to go 100% Uber or rent a car. I'm just stoked they're paying for the flight.

Yacht Club?!

 

[benbikes4beer]

And yet PP Sixers of IPAs are cheaper per oz

I bet the PP Beers were cheaper to make, and were made locally.

False Idol & Bali Hai are my favorites for tiki. Raised by Wolves is not purely tiki, but pretty fun as well.

 

[reidjoshua1]

bdbs with $5.50/can for the alchemist. hell i might walk down to get a crusher/focal as that's not the worst.

 

[Sebowski1]

Yeah sounds like it was a pretty big drop. Prolly not as good as batches 1-158,000, in my imo.

Does PP provide the same benefits to their employees?

 

[riko1]

Does any local brewery?

Come down to South Park during your weekday lunch. We have some fun stuff on tap.

Not sure I can walk there from the convention center. Maybe in the evening.

We can do our traditional lunch at The Local/Resident one day.

Hell yes we will. My boss said I'd be going every year here out, and switching out coworkers each year. I take that as a solid maybe because he doesn't pay the tab. And with only 2 crappy weeks if of vacation, this helps.

Looks like everyone getting Alchemist is selling it by the can.

I hate beer.

Everyone....except for Holiday, BnV, Distillers, Churchill's, potentially Bottlecraft....

 

[arren]

BnV is always the exception.

Distillers got theirs in already?

Churchill's also sold it for $28 per pack, which sucks for different reasons .

I'm waiting for Bottlecraft, but I'm not holding out hope. Distro for this one has been super weird too - apparently Baron's got some in too ( and selling by the can).

Just left BC liberty station like an hour ago. They're selling it by the pack

Sadly SD Wine & Beer Co got theirs in and are selling it by the can, 1 of each per person. No idea on price.

Not surprised. I saw a picture of how much they got in and was shocked when I was told that it was the allotment per location. Do you recall the price per 4pk?

Yeah, around $22

 

[jwacky]

Per can price at BC was $5.25 via Lock & Key store. They limited to 2-pks online.

 

[SerenityNow]

Lol, not hunting for any Alchemist at all. I can’t fathom how they are competing for attention in this market outside nostalgia reasons. Anyway, drinking a Parabola ‘14. God damn that’s making me remember why I loved that beer unlike more recent vintages.
