Beachwood BBQ Beer Releases Thread

Long Beach seems to have much more stock than Seal Beach typically.

 

seal beach constantly sells out quicker and there's not much room for inventory. Unless you live closer to it, always go to Long Beach.

 

For tovarish release the long beach location had bottles until mid afternoon while seal was sold out in minutes.

 

have only been to SB for bottles. For LB, is there a separate line for bottles and the restaurant?

 

for the buffalo 8 release, they did accommodate parties who only wanted to eat

 

Yes, the past releases at Beachwood LB have had a separate line for people just wanting to go to the restaurant.

 

Yes, and the wait for tables can get pretty heavy quickly. I went with friends last time and had them wait in the dining line while I waited in the bottles line

 

The bar like area by the restrooms in LB is where they did bottle sales in the past releases I've been to

 

quick question for you locals to long beach...... my brother is gonna be in the area next week and im going to have him swing by beachwood for me. Do they regularly have bottles to go? if so hows the variety?

 

May 28th is SoaS bottle release. Thrillseeker was their last bottle release. I'm sure those are all gone by know. Otherwise...No.

 

FWIW, there's a few bottles of Thrillseeker left at Bill's in Atwater Village.

 

If he's there on the 28th for SoaS the Blendery next door should be open in the afternoon. They have two new beers they're releasing this weekend and I'm guessing they won't sell out:

 

That will be me!

 

So about how early do people start lining up for SoaS?

 

Your guess is as good as mine. These days, earlier the better.

 

Long beach, which gets a majority of the bottles, typically has enough to last until mid afternoon. Note that the line for food and the line for beer are separate lines.

I'd still line up though at least an hour prior, as Tovarish had people lined up past congregation. I'm unsure how 8 buffalo's line was, as I missed out on it.

 

While the line was further out for Tovarish they did set up the sales by the patio near the back rather than entering inside the front so that pushed it back.

 

I'm planning to get there by 11:00 and hopefully score bottles. I think i got there at 10:45 for the tovarish release, got bottles but no glass ware.

 

I was at the Tovarish release and I think I got there about two hours early? The line for bottles was pretty beefy while the line for the restaurant was non-existent. I was also bummed about not getting the glassware, didn't help that there was no limit on how much you could get and people were grabbing them by the caseload. Or at least it seemed like it.

 

That glassware again! At least there's a limit this time around.
