The OC/LA release thread.

Confirmed. I've worked with him. Haven't had a chance to try the beer though.

 

Not sure where else to post this, but Stearns has rebranded as Corked (to follow Stearns Bixby's name)...still gonna refer to it as Stearns

 

Good call. Ditto.

Opened a bottle of Stone Enjoy By Unfiltered yesterday. First pour was clear and clean. Second pour....what a mess. Small chunks floating all over inside the murky glass. Was I suppose to shake the bottle before opening? What's wrong here? I had to drain pour a third of the glass. I have one more bottle of EBU. I'm afraid to open it. I never had this problem on the last unfiltered Enjoy By.

 

Same thing happened to me. I didn't mind the taste, but didn't think it was as good as the previous batch.

 

Floating chunks and murky? Maybe Stone contract brewed that out to Hoof Hearted...

 

RR Supplication bottles available at most TW stores now. Check online inventory at your local store.

 

For those in HB, Whole Foods is having a pretty rockin sale on bottles and 6 packs! 10-30% off of about half of their selection.

 

Only in HB? Or other WFs location too?

 

Thanks. I ordered online at my TW and they took my order. Going to try and pick up tomorrow. Over the last month or so I've got damnation temptation consecration and now hopefully supplication.

 

Anyone see Bell's Oracle sixers in OC area? I only saw a handful of places in LA, OC, IE areas post them on social media. Just wondering if we should expect it to hit other stores or if that was pretty much it.

 

WholeFood Newport has em.

 

I saw boatloads at Total Wine in Redondo. So would assume most of the Whole Foods and TWs in the area have right now/had this past weekend.

 

Hi-Time had a few sixers as of Saturday and they've been there for at least a week.

 

Grabbed a bottle from Wine Country...not bad, but I'm not blown away. Glad I only grabbed a single

 

Not sure if anyone else has seen this, but I was in TW Redondo yesterday and they had a shit ton of 2015 W00tstout. Along with the 2016 as well. And I'm enjoying 2015 a whole lot more.

 

Picked up wootstout at Costco the village, as well as fruitlands apricot. Can't beat their prices

 

TW Redondo seems to get a whole lot of older Stone stuff. Maybe others do too? Don't get to many others all that much. Just always see Redondo packed with plenty.

 

Anyone see Helldorado popping up in South OC, or did I already miss out?
