A sweet little, unexpected package from wobrien. Made even sweeter since I missed getting BCBCS by 2 people in line and I get to try his Huna-ish clone. Thanks Bill!

Nice!
I didn't even come close to scoring any BCBCS this year. Most of what Houston gets of the variants goes to one store downtown. They also do a special event on Black Friday with limited release stuff they've "cellared" so the line starts ridiculously early. No way I was going to wait in line for 10 hours.

 

[blizzard]

Almost forgot about that . Im probably heading to jester king weekends after next. You want anything?

Always. Let me know before you go and I'll check the bottle list.

Yeah, they're the distribution point for all the other Houston locations, so they get dibs before all their other branches. I always make a point to go there when I'm in Houston.

I need riserva. Hopefully find some good beer when I go to philly later in the year!! That is if there is no other location I decide to go lol

 

[mcbaumannerb]

The good news is they did a 2nd release last year - hopefully something they will continue. That should help it last on the shelves a bit longer.

You can drink a bottle of Riserva at Monks Cafe for $18. Probably cheaper than you will find it at any beer store.

Monks is a must-visit spot if you make it to the city

Definitely. When i start planning I'll get ya'll opinions on where to go/drink and eat in the area.

I got those bottles for 16 at the store today, so minimal mark-up at Monks. Eulogy is another must visit IMO.

This makes little sense to me, esp in Philly, the city of insane beer price markups.

+1 for Eulogy. My go to is Grey Lodge, currently listed as one of the top 100 in the country. Coincidentally around the corner from where I talked my wife into buying a house together lol.

Holy crap! Received a surprise box from Wobrien today and I am blown away with his generosity. I've been wanting to try this beer for a while now and can't believe I now have a 4 year vertical. Amazing! Thanks again, man!! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1420781044.849463.jpg
Also found a nice surprise today in my truck. I've been hearing a light clanking sound for at least a couple weeks. Since I work out of my truck and keep a lot of stuff in the back seat I didn't think much of it. Today, I decided to dig around and to my surprise I found beer! No clue when I acquired them.

Enjoy!

Haha no worries, I got an email about it yesterday. I signed up for notifications from UPS and Fedex so nobody can surprise bomb me.

It can be done easily enough; just send you a box to your neighbors house.

 

[ChefRex]

A box arrived but I'll wait till I'm home to open it, might go out in the truck an hour early though,

Damn, they certainly tried to crush that thing! I hope everything made it.

I would never see it! Our neighbor is my girlfriends brother who enjoys beer, a lot.

Damn, hunah just got much more expensive and exclusive

 

[mikeysab]

Glad i've had it before. Cuz I ain't never gettin it again.

 

[TobyG]

I'm not sure if it works out to much more expensive since 4 bottles and other stuff are included. More exclusive, yeah, since El Cat gets first crack at 75% of the tickets.

4 bottles is $80, that leaves $120 for a glass, a bottle bag, free food of some sort and a crap-ton of free samples. Last year the guest taps were very impressive but some of the lines to sample them were over an hour long. It would be very different this year with only 2000 people there. Tickets only account for 8k bottles, I think they make around 15k though.
