    6 was the limit on Pliny. Not sure if that's how it is everyday. Great pizza and conversation with a local. Don't park on the street, cheap parking in the garage behind brewery. Lagunitas was slick as well. Went on tour and had fresh beer off the line. Waldo was a great beer! Have one if they still have it.

    Posting this in Pacific might have been more helpful.

    I'm going to agree on the Alpine, that would probably be the only thing I would look for, other than HotD.

    You should really have him get you
    Figerou Mountain Hoppy Poppy
    or some Knee Deep (very nice IPA's there is Simtra, Hop Shortage, Batch 138, Hoptologist)

    When I was there, last September, you were limited to a case.

    I want to see more of your French Laundry pics. Did they offer you multiple choices of 10,000,000,000 year old salt? :wink:

    Here's a couple of shops that typically have RR, if not equally awesome local bottles;

    Ramirez Liquor in Boyle Heights
    Bill's Liquor in Atwater Village
    Wally's in West Los Angeles
    Beverage Warehouse (near LAX)
    Whole Foods in El Segundo (right next to LAX)
    Market Plaza Liquor in El Monte

    Here are the shops that you can look up... most of them have inventory online :slight_smile:. I called ahead because I'm flying to LA Friday and two different shops are holding stuff for me.

    Shops credit to Earlycsquid an awesome BA :slight_smile:

    Nice haul. Ironically had the Curieux this weekend from my CA trip back in February. It was good but I imagine will develop over more over some time. Wanted to try it now as I'm heading to VT and MA in June.
