The San Diego area thread

[sdreaper]

I guess there was a rather large shipment of 3F into san diego at least... A&G, Gueze, Kriek popping up at least at all of the bottlecrafts

The amount of crazy bottles hitting SD this week is ******* absurd

Texas Liquor had a shitload of Black Note. 10.99 which is ******** but buy 6 get 1 for a nickel I was fine with 9.42 a bottle. Sofa king.

Btw ~50 cases of CBS are in San Diego.

I see kingg has a 5 case allocation of 750mL. It's coming to very random places.

Welp, 2 of the ~50 are currently with a couple friends that saw it on their lunch break and are distributing them around at cost to our little group.

From what he told me, I guess B&V is the top seller of Founders in all of San Diego County or something. Not surprised he got so much.

Searching the BevMo site for CBS, and no luck.

But I did learn you can get a keg of FBS from them for $150.

Nice! I’m helping out on the early shift.

Guess I need to lobby a little harder for a hall pass!

Also, tonight

mumbles under breath ... I love having kids, I love having kids ...


Semi related. Can anyone say if bevmo will get the BA Ten-fidy? I remember it being good and would like to revisit.

Are you there for the vaccine conference in Coronado?

I guess my meetings are in same location, if I get board I might go after all.

...you sure they're not getting mixed up with "BCBS"?

Yea at least all the bevmos and whole foods.....i was pretty specific. Just want one bottle its basically my white whale lol....

Its funny that Founders said on Instagram that nationwide distro would be on Dec 1, but it has come & gone at Bevmo & Whole Foods already. Bottlecraft & kingg have yet to sell it.

Given that there’s ony 50 cases hitting San Diego, I’m irked but not all that shocked that some stores sold anyone this by the case.

I’ve heard it’ll get around on draft (Bottlecraft has a keg, for example), so I wouldn’t be too sad if you miss out on bottles.

 

[sdreaper]

I think only the Bevmos and Whole Foods decided to sell early. Bottlecraft is getting their allocation tomorrow, and likely the other regular bottleshops too.

I can't say I am surprised by Bevmos selling early and by the case. Most of the time the beer buyer isn't there so the employees, unless they are a beer nerd, won't really know. As an example, maybe only 4 employees at the Mira Mesa BevMo have a clue about the beer they are selling.

Perhaps, but Bevmo certainly got the memo for BCBS with their 2-3 bottle limit.

Anyway, still some stores around that have no idea what they are selling I guess.

Hey guys, looks like CBS is hitting San Diego shelves. I just stopped by a bevmo near my house and bought a whole case. How cool! Looks like there will be plenty to go around this year!

Rare visit to Green Flash. Really enjoyed their 6x9 IPA collab with Melvin and their 13.5% Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine Sepia Frumento. Not much left of the latter and sold as 32 oz growlers because #BiL.

 

[sdreaper]

I received a fantastic EOY review today, so heading to Alesmith to meet up with a few friends and play the CBS proxy....

pint is on me if any of you are in need of a beer. Their kellerbier is pretty tasty.

Congratulations! That's a wonderful thing to celebrate.

TY, it was. I went for one beer and stayed for about 4. Bought around 8 full pours from Anvil & Stave, tab was $20. Sent it back and said it was wrong, received new tab of $40. Still not even close, but I was told 3 different employees bought me a beer. I love my "cheers".
