The OC/LA release thread.

You'll need to check, I grabbed the two that were on the shelves but didn't bother asking if there was more.s

 

I could have posted that I stopped in before work and had three, but I wouldn't do that....

 

Plenty of Thrillseeker at Bill's.

Some Pure Hoppiness 1 btl limit, too.

 

I remember pure hop being pretty marked up there...

 

Thanks for the love brotha! I dreamed that beer up for cans and traveling down south, so I'm stoked to see it received so favorably in SoCal. By the way, we prefer the term "Marijuana Enthusiasts".
Cheers, Dave at Flat Tail

 

Is Kook going to be a year-round release like the other Pizza Port cans? If so...good lord. It's so good.

 

Not trying to knock it, just curious. Those of you hunting down Helldorodo, have you tried it before or just have faith in the FW Barrel program? I am spoiled and make a few trips up to BarrelWorks each year so I have tried it before and didn't love it. I sorta felt the same about Velvet Merkin and Sticky Monkey. I love me some Parabola and Sucaba though, but even those I feel like the caliber has dipped (slightly, not far) while watching the pricepoint jump $1+ per year.

I think they have done a stellar job at blowing up smallish batch BA beers and making them nationally distributed so I have to commend FW for that.

 

I'm pretty sure most have never tried it, myself included. I love barleywines and have faith in their barrel program as it seems others do too. As it's a first bottled release a lot of people are curious to see what it's all about.

 

Yes, I believe it is going into rotation much like Swamis, and I agree with you that this is one damn good DIPA. Great value in a easy to get world class beer.

Cheers…...

 

Also makes a perfect trade extra.

 

I threw a few cans in recently for that same exact reason and they loved it !

Cheers…….

 

I'm really hearing great things about the latest batch of Hello LA at HPB/Hermosillo. Unfortunately I didn't try it earlier today when I picked up a growler of Hammered Satan. Doing Hammered with espresso on nitro in my garage tomorrow.

 

Shhhh. Not yet. At least let us get Raised Eyebrows first.

 

Oh, yeah, Raised Eyebrows has been dumped. Just forget you ever heard the name.

 

Pretty fucking good:

 

gonna have to stop by there

 

That's a Trystero symbol, which can mean only one thing...

 

went tonight. had to get a second pour. great beer . stoked to have HPB as a local brewery!

 

I feel the same way about the Helldorado, although I do like it better than Stickee Monkee or Velvet Merkin. I did get a couple of bottles in case it was better than on tap.
