Modem Times

I'm very curious to see which archive bottles are going to be available. I'm budgeting in case my wildest dreams come true and they offer up some MP coconut & cocoa.

 

Jacob being on BA is what landed me a tour of the facility.

 

If I said "hi, Jacob - I'm HeavySpeedway" or "hi, Derek - I'm HeavySpeedway", I'd probably be launched out of that place and end up in the boat shop. So I'd probably say "I'm just some lurker". LOL

 

I wish those 20-packs would come just a little further north.

 

Anyone seen Oneida in San Francisco? I've checked City Beer and the 4th Street Whole Foods and haven't had any luck.

 

Hey @ModernTimesJacob, is it the same 6 Costcos as last release, that are getting the mixed 20 packs? Or have you expanded to more?

 

Per the email, all San Diego locations for 20 packs.

So the next time you're stocking up on 600 rolls of toilet paper and a new blender, toss one of these babies into your gigantic shopping cart. Expect to see them in all San Diego locations of the aforementioned humungous store for a limited time.

 

Cool thnx, missed that part of the email

 

Working on this, but we're still in the process of proving ourselves with this project. So if the 20-packs continue to sell well, the chain in question will continue to expand the number of stores that offer them.

We sent up 70 cases towards the end of May and they sold-out very fast. We're sending another 70 cases in a couple of weeks. Check the usual suspects and the availability map on our website.

Cheers & thanks,

The online inventory at K&L in Redwood City shows >60 cans. Maybe they'll send some to the SOMA store?

 

i was at said big box store in Vista this morning, no Modem Tones.

 

you can order online at K&L from any store and have them ship it to your local store. So order from redwood and have them ship it to SF for your pick up. It's free

 

I always wonder how many times Jacob checks this thread between when he sends out an email with some big news and when it's finally posted about...

First Annual Festival of Dankness announced for Saturday Aug 22 at the Waterfront Park. Unlimited 2oz pours, 28 breweries (including a good amount that don't/rarely make it to SD). $45 gets you in from 3-7, $75 VIP gets you in from 2-7 (as well as a shirt).

Looks like it'll be pretty awesome, as long as it's not oversold. Fortunately, MT generally seems to be pretty good with planning, so that's not too big of a worry. Unfortunately, it's on the same weekend as FYF, so I'll be in LA

 

Festival of Dankness ... damn impressive lineup! Stuff you just don't see around here typically like:

CELLARMAKER
ARIZONA WILDERNESS
SARA
CIGAR CITY
DE GARDE
KERN RIVER

and more!

 

Fuck and other half brewing?? Count me in.

 

Tired Hands has never been out west afaik. I love their sours, can't wait to try their hoppy beers.

 

checking dates, probably need to fly down from Nor-Cal for this.

 

Cool stuff on the list. Don't sleep on the highland park 1UP IIPA. That's a stellar DIPA!

 

You can not get a feel for an IPA in a 2oz pour. You just fucking can't. Whiskey? Sure. An acedic sour? Could be. Adjunct overload barrel aged clusterfuck? Ok. An IPA? No fucking way. No. Fucking. Way. Unlimited pours doesn't change that at all. 2ozs.... LOL. I hope their are spittoons so everyone can swirl and spit whatever doesn't evaporate on their tongue.

 

I had HopHands at Toro SD about a year ago. I think it might have been for the Fullpint anniversary.
