Anyone know if any of those Iris are left?

Out

KBS four packs at Carlsbad Costco for $17.99

Mission Valley had some left as of a few days ago as well, might still be there for any of the non-Canadian contingent who want more. This year's batch isn't my favorite in recent memory, but still a damn good beer, and $18/4pk is a killer deal.

Iris with some age on it definitely beats Fou with age on it...otherwise, wrong.

No.

Still had a ton as of last night

How much are those Hop Fu four packs going to be? Wish they would say in the email.

 

[Tyrsis]

Dunno, but I'd guess like 15-ish.

Sort of curious myself, although I'm going to pick some up regardless. I asked on their FB event when they posted it but no response. I'm guessing anywhere from $15 to $18.

They don't do proxies in general, it's not just this release.

I swear they have done proxies before but a 1 proxy per person similar to Alesmith. Maybe I am thinking of another SD brewery with similar branding.

How did the Duck Duck sale go?

Using Eventbrite so could be relatively smooth.

People in this thread probably don't care too much but I'm guessing it will sell out pretty quick.

$50 for a bottle of DDG that you have to pick up on a specific weekend, or walk into Bine & Vine on any given day and spend that same $50 to get both a Boon Black Label and a 3F OG. Tough choice...

Seriously, I haven't had a good pour of DDG since B1, and a few select bottles of B2. I will go buy $8 bottles of Mariage Parfait all ****** daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

 

[rcubed1]

Already got my bottle (reserved). I'm good with one.

+1 for Black Label - so happy it still gets regularly overlooked and underappreciated.

Also, I went to the BevMo at Mission Valley the other day and they had bottles of 3F OG and A&G on the shelves turding it up. At this point I don't think there's an AWA out there that's worth buying over a Belgium lambic.

I never really ate at Toro when I went anyways, this combination will just continue that trend.

It couldn’t be any worse.

Even with how bad it got, I could always drunkenly order a breakfast sandwich, but alas - no more.

**** im stupid

i'm honestly surprised there isn't a bar in town that just serves nothing but breakfast 24/7. an all-day breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito menu would absolutely slay.

I really enjoy DDG, yet this is my exact thought.

Not poo'ing on anyone but fun to see two theory members debating a breweries special release price point versus shelf beers fairly readily available. And yes I also enjoy DDG.

I was expecting someone to mention that and while it's a fair observation, there aren't really shelfie options for pastry stouts and hazy IPAs that are comparable in quality (obviously subjective) to what Modern Times is putting out with their special releases. Granted, a decent portion of the people here won't touch pastry stouts or hazy IPAs with a ten foot pole anyway, so I guess that line of reasoning becomes moot pretty quickly.
