    Alpine is hard to get no matter who the distributor is but I do agree Artisan Ale does suck lol

    Considering the high demand, I'm curious as to how much some of these places are charging for pours of Nelson. Anybody?

    And I am too. And it is too. . . .Spot On! And only 7 minute drive from the house. That beats the 2 hour drive south to Alpine. On my second pour.

    If anybody jacks the price, they likely have seen their last keg of Alpine beer. Pat = a more temperamental, less stable Vinne.

    It was actually filled perfectly to the rim, but I couldn't resist and took a sip before taking a pic. :grinning:

    It's all over now. Five n half at happy hour. It'll be gone in 60 seconds. Thats 6pm tonight. If its like the keg at the place I just came from it's only a 5.5gal. Enjoy it.

    I'm a little disappointed that 38 Degrees is selling it for $8.50

    So, in another year, Placer County will finally get its first keg!

    I've only been there a few times but prices have usually been on the moderate to high side the times that I've gone.

    Many of their beer prices are very reasonable. I just can't help but think seeing Nelson priced higher per pint than Pliny is typically is cashing in on hype big time.
