The OC/LA release thread.

I dont get it

 

Highland Park's Lazy Susan is also on sale that day

 

Considering my last visit to Ritual, no, just no, that just sounds nasty.

 

I agree with this to a point - I'd have preferred a BA Big Deluxe or even better Fat Hog, but the fact that they're bottling their BA stuff now and not just doing it as draft specials is a good sign.

The BA extra red is actually pretty solid though

 

agreed

 

I would assume that its pretty easy to decipher that we didnt enjoy what we had the last time we were there, but if you havent been able to figure it out, we didnt like what we had the last time we were there.

 

I don't have a pithy remark but in general Ritual makes solid clean beer without any quality issues (and I've had it a lot) with a generally more classic range of styles than the stuff that sets the BA world on fire. Their Extra Red is a hoppy red that's well made, the BA version from what I recall is like a less aggressive version of BA Arrogant beers.

Bearing in mind I'm not just being a homer for a brewery I go to, they just took gold at GABF for their imperial stout and barleywine. I'm sure they will impress the BA crowd more when their limited releases get more exposure (Look at the BA ratings for Java Deluxe for example)

 

BA Bomb at Hacienda

 

As a Long Beach ( Belmont Shore ) resident, I could not have said it better. I get all the east coast goodness from a very generous friend and I send him BW and other good local bottles like Noble Showers Series when they are available, he loves them like I love the beers from Trillium TH and OH. They're all very good beers, just different styles, we're spoiled.

Cheers………...

 

Select Beer Store too, according to Facebook.

 

Bevmo Manhattan Beach had a few cases of Sucaba tonight. Had to ask for it but no limit.

 

Nice to see someone knows about how good some of the Canadian beer can be!!

 

I think they had about 3 left at closing last night.

 

Pic ain't the greatest sorry, this was at Huntington Beach Costco. They also had Port brewing Santa's little helper for $2.

 

Thank you! Gonna go today.

 

2$ for 22 oz of Santa's little helper!?

 

Yeah, Costco in woodland hills also had them in the boxed bins, limit 1. Very odd, I thought costco was for bulk purchases!

 

Yes sir, bunch of cases too. Just to note, regular version not the barrel aged.

 

Sounds like a great opportunity to do some french press experimenting...
