I didn't see Russian River released original recipe Blind Pig for shipping, but it's sold out. Anyone local have an extra can to sell/trade? Any feedback on it?

Not sure if anyone here drinks beer anymore but Liquid Gravity just put up a presale for a mix 4 pack that includes a McIlhenney Brewing collab. I’ve been anticipating the “New Alpine” launch that I couldn’t help but order a few 4 packs specifically to get a taste of McIlhenney brewing. Looking forward to this.

They've been doing quite a few collabs from what I have seen. Just nearly all of them are draft only.

I hope all those breweries are better at making beer than they are at making logos and flyers.

I think it's funny that Liquid Gravity misspelled Pat and Shawn McIlhenney's last name.

Lol. Hopefully it’s a sign that they were hyper focused on the brew.

Hello All! Some of you may recognize/know me from the early days of Talk Beer...I'm making my first post after a 6.5 year hiatus! I used to trade beer very regularly a while ago but stopped as the beer trading scene was getting out of control, and doesn't seem to have gotten any better, haha.

I just received my case/4 bottles of Pliny the Younger today and I have 1 bottle I am saving for trading to another San Diego resident who wasn't able to get a case. Trading seems like a giant pain in the ass these days so I don't have any particular beer(s) I'm looking for. I don't care about price, hype, bottle counts, grey market values, etc...I just want to trade good beer for good beer. So make an offer and let's not make this complicated...from one San Diegan to another. Cheers!

Sadly this place is dead now.

Just like WCIPA...deadAF.

But I did see the trade and was trying to figure out what to offer to get a bottle. It's sad, but I just don't want to break my streak of having PtY due to completely failing at internetting the morning of the sale.

Breaking the streak will just allow you to not worry about it in the future. I had to do that with Enjoy By.

You gotta appreciate a gesture like this. People want crazy value for their PTY bottles. I commend you. If I were in SD instead of LA I’d be making you an offer. Cheers. I hope you make someone’s day.

So apparently BAVSS is for sale to public today via the Onzr app w/ Alesmith.

I guess they only posted it to their tastingroom IG account, which isn't public and is age-gated. Ah well.

 

[riko1]

It won't be as good as it used to be. No FOMO here.

I still bought a couple bottles to find out.

I didn’t read this closely yesterday. I looked at their store through the main site and nada. So they have a new app to sell beer through?? What a pain

 

[smithj21541]

Just browsed the onzr site...

 

[sdreaper]

Yeah, it seems quite a few breweries are switching to using Onzr. NPBC also used them in December last year for their 2 bottles of Macaroons and the 2020 is over. I was skeptical about it at the beginning, but the phone app has grown on me. Still stupid that yet another app is being used just so I can buy a bottle of liquid enjoyment, but...meh....

 

[rcubed1]

Can I buy it at Bine & Vine or directly at the brewery?

No?


Okay, I'm out.

100% worth it. In a world full of beetus stouts, this BAVSS hit the spot I didn't know I needed.

oh I’m sure I need some BAVSS. I’m just confused why AleSmith would use yet a different method of selling their beer. Before leaving CA I did a order through their site and it was super easy.

The hundred-yard stare captured here completely inverts the original interpretation of the meme, making it seem like, "Yeah... Science? I guess..."

NPBC decision to use lottery system embedded in the app got me to download it. Much better than first come first serve or day of releases with long lines and no guarantee of bottles (which I avoid like the plague). I wish more breweries would do the same ... and not allow proxies (which is a completely different topic).

A useful government webpage!?!?!? zomg!

Is El Segundo/Horus BOB any good? 4.23 on Untappd for a BA barleywine seems low.
