    If you bought bottles at the Venice location are you still able to buy at one of the other locations or is the ID check across locations?

    I do not think they did the ID drivers license check this time. You can probably get bottles from the same location.

    I'll put on my fake mustache and walk back into the Venice location and see what happens. You could also probably run a racket and get the 15 people sleeping in the alley behind there to be your Parabajava mules.

    I have to head up to the Buellton area tomorrow so I was hoping I could get one more bottle for a friend.

    At day of release they didn't do ID check, that would have made the line a disaster. Not sure if they did it after that, probably.

    I've never had my ID checked at Paso or Barrelworks, so it seems to be a Venice-only policy. Buying at one location shouldn't stop you from buying at another.

    I think that was only in the beginning when they just opened and people were bringing multiple outfits, or getting haircuts, to get around the limits.

    Now that it's established, as seen with parabajava release, they can withstand some of the onslaught. Heck they even posted yesterday they were moving excess inventory from the other locations to the Venice location to even things out.

    Plenty of stock at Buellton still. No ID checks.

    Also, I would like to take this time to thank everyone who suggested industrial eats. DAMN! That place was awesome. As a bonus, there was a distillery in the same parking lot that we got to taste at. It's a win win!

    Glad those hobos are drinking good beer, seems like a costly way to give back to the homeless,

    Cracked my bottle of Parabajava in a hotel lobby in Denver the one day I didn't attend GABF. Held onto it for a while (since I started the "share" at 7pm or so) and just started convincing random strangers to sit down and have some as they walked in after their session finished. Random bottle share is best share since most of them had a sip then went up to their rooms to grab bottles and bring them on down.

    Regarding the FSW XX anniversary, have they posted anything about the mystery bottle?
