    Whole Foods.

    Also, to get to Drake's on BART you want to get on a Fremont train then get off at San Leandro. The line straight to Fremont from the city only runs like 8-5 on weekdays (maybe Sat too I forget), so you'd need to transfer if you're going in the evening. Just get on any train going to the east bay, get off at 12th street, get on Fremont train. (There may be a timed transfer at 19th or MacArthur, I'm not really sure, but 12th is the first one where they intersect.)

    If you go to CBS on either Wednesday or Thursday, you'll have no trouble getting Pliny. Beer Rev is usually good there, too. Pretty much any Whole Foods should be able to cover you, as well. Worst case, you can get it to go from Toronado for $6 a bottle, which is about a 20% markup.

    the only limit on PtE at beer revolution is what is on the shelf
    ie:, you can't buy up what they have in backstock.

    The last time I dropped by CBS, I was told it was a 6-bottle limit on PtE.

    Interesting. I didn't realize. It's also the same limit as Toronado.

    Cask. It's close to CBC and almost always has a case in the fridge, although it's $5 a pop.

    The various Whole Foods around the city usually have it.

    FYI, Aroma Coma bottles are hitting the shelves out there. Arrived at beer rev yesterday.

    Aroma Coma - not as memorable as I remember. Smell was a bit off (little bit of "funk" in there) and there was a little annoying bitterness in the aftertaste. I'll try it on tap if I see it.

    Already on my second keg. They had a few left last night before closing.

    So far for me...rhino keg > bottle > on tap at Drakes.
    All delicious regardless.

    Yeah, I was trying to get out of work early to pick one more up, but couldn't. There is still another round to come soon.
