The OC/LA release thread.

Adam's in Redondo had KBS yesterday. Sold out in a few hours. About an hour before I got there. They did have all the other Founder's stuff though including FBS, which has been a real hooker for me to find. They also had a few bottles of Cognac Abyss (and regular). And a ton of BCBS.
And Bevmo Manhattan had two cases of regular Abyss sitting on the floor.
Number 1 had no Founder's but they did have at least 5 cases of BCBS and I saw Avery Vanilla Bean stout in the cooler.
Sorry to break up the party and actually post release info....

 

yeah, my bro in law and I waited overnight at the target in Pasadena. There were about 60 people waiting and im not gonna lie it was pretty fun until it started raining around 4 am. The target employees came to the door and stared at us getting soaked and were probably laughing on the inside. I would never wait in line overnight for anything but it was still fun none the less.

 

Sierra Nevada Barrel-Aged Maillard's Odyssey at Vendome Beverly Hills. I was surprised this hit distribution, I thought the trip in the woods series was brewery only

 

Anybody try New Belgium's Citradelic Tangerine IPA yet? Just curious how it is. Haven't bought anything NB in years. It looks interesting with all these Citra brew related releases lately. I liked SN's Beer Camp Tangerine IPA.

 

My friend heard a podcast and they were talking about old ales and asked me if I could pick one up this weekend for her to try. I was thinking I could try and find some Adam from HOTD but does anyone else have any other recommendations for some shelf old ales?

 

North Coast Old Stock Ale. Easy to find, cheap, and comes in 4 packs. You can have some now and some to age.

 

North Coast Old Stock
Alesmith Olde Ale

 

BTW, Adam's one of my favorite brews. It's a unique beer.

 

The Bruery produces some great Old Ales. There might be some bottles of their 7th Anniversary beer (Cuivre) available still.

NB's core line hasn't blown my hair back, I drink some of the LoF beers but yeah. Not so sure about this Orange/Tangerine IPA phase - people love Grapefruit Sculpin but is anyone going wild for all these orange beers trickling out?

 

Ah yes North Coast. That’s one of those beers that I know will always be there so I haven’t tried it. Perhaps this time I will actually pull the trigger and buy some. Thanks for the input guys.

 

Wow this thread has officially derailed.

 

Modern Times Devil's Teeth is an old ale/imperial coffee stout hybrid and is definitely worth picking up (though vastly different from most old ales)

 

Anyone actually get a Fruit Cart? It was gone as soon as the page loaded for me.

 

didn't take more than a few seconds for all the fruit carts to get "ear marked", prepare those F5 buttons and set those stop watches to see if any basket drops a limit 1 beer, I guess.

 

I maxed out on everything.

 

Looks like I missed Fruit Cart, once I went to Order Now after adding one it was unavailable.

 

As did I, but I did it the smart way in placing my order of fruit cart first and then going back after the purchase to pick up the others.

 

fuck. that was so fast. missed fruit cart

doubt any will be dropping since it's one bottle.

anyway, good for them

 

Yeah I was going to grab the Fruit Cart first and then the other but alas, it was already gone.
