Thing I hate is bevmo doesn't get eclipse so I'm going to have to deal with one of these places to get a bottle of coffee.

Just just pour some damn coffee in to your beer. Go nuts. Get Mostra. #keepcoffeoutofbeer

Visited Clems not long ago (hunting for Bbomb). Saw all the Vanilla Eclipse shelf turds and even a Manzanita Serenity (2014 #BiL). Guy there made a mistake in telling me he had something he didn’t yet have, but gave me a 10% discount for what I was still buying there that day, offered to hold me the bottles when he did get it, and even offered to deliver them to me! That’s some pretty awesome customer service.

Doesn't make up for the fact that everything is marked up 25% and sits in an unrefrigerated hot ass liquor store year round.

I've always liked Holiday Wine Cellar, our Canadian bottle shop. Easy parking for our sleds, and nice staff.

Yeah but their sandwiches are delicious. After not giving them any business for the first 8 months or so we moved to Kensington, my loves of Boar’s Head finally gave in. ******* delicious

I assume their selection of ice wines and maple syrup must be impeccable.

Great deals on Molson Ice and Labbatt Dry too.

The fact that you like Clems and not Ponces... I may have to take custody of your cat and never talk to you again

I used to walk in there to buy shelf 3F **** like sharbiek... ahhh kriek whatever. Sorry I'm lit. You know what I mean.

 

[rcubed1]

Eppig today anyone?

 

[sdreaper]

Mostra anniversary was quite a good time. Even during VIP there was about a 15person line but with 3 urge employees working each of the big bars the wait time was only a couple minutes.

Got dragged to Pure Project afterwards and met up with a couple friends and former Alesmith employees. Went next door to Amplified to drink good beer and was sad no Sebo. =(

This morning kinda hurts a bit.

Edit: Oh yeah, Mike was walking around with a few bottles as well as the Superstition guys cracking various meads.

Very well run. Even during general admission there was never more than a few minute wait, and I think only a couple of things ran out hours into GA. Good to see you SocalKicks

Ah damn, I remember that **** turded it up there for at least a year. They also had Tilquin Squared for a good six months.
