State of the Cuse

For anyone that's interested, too, Brilbeck's has Torpedo tallboys. Very excited about those. Still, I think the two hoppy beers I'm most excited for right now are Hoptimum 12oz 4-packs and Green Flash Palate Wrecker. Within a month for both, hopefully . . . WANT PALATE WRECKER SO BAD.

 

What and where exactly is this 'co-op' that you speak of???

Kensington, basically right around the corner from Miles, between Miles and Roosevelt.

 

Check 'em out, they don't have a ton but what they do have is good, interesting, and on-time (as opposed to waiting for weeks for a new IPA to hit the shelves after it's released).

 

Sweet, hoptimum is in! Grabbed a 4 pk tonight!

 

Really! Where?

 

Galeville, there were three left on the shelf

 

Effin' Galeville, man. How much was it? I think the Co-op's getting it this week (could be wrong), so I'll probably pick it up there because it's right around the corner from my house.

The Co-op gets their beer every Thursday, for those who are interested, so if you're looking for something that should be out soon they might be able to tell you if something's coming in that week. I go there every Thursday just for that reason, to see what's new and what's in and shoot the shit with their beer guy. (Hey Jeremy!) Plus I shop there a lot, anyway.

 

Makes me think—anyone know anything about Deviant Dale's coming into CNY? Another canned offering I'm psyched for.

 

Next time I am in SYR, I will check out the Co-op as well as Galevilles. Last time I was there, went to Briibecks & another store which I cant remember the name right now. Both had decent selections.

 

I anticipate getting both the bigfoot and the hoptimum this Friday.

 

Anyone heard any more news from Clark's? They mentioned awhile back they're moving into the building that used to house The Edge, but I haven't heard anything in ages. A quick search shows they still don't even have a liquor license and the last time I took a peak at the building, it didn't look like anything had been done inside We need another location for craft beer in Armory Square to push down those stupid high Blue Tusk prices

 

Well, if anyone's interested, I'll probably stop by J. Ryan's tomorrow evening for a beer or two. Been a long-ass week.

 

As an update on my own question, I walked past the previous "Edge" store front today that Clark's announced they would be moving in to and it is in the process of becoming one of those Karmelcorn places. Which means that Clark's somehow lost that location (I'm assuming) and we're now even further away from them opening up. I really wish they'd actually communicate what is happening.

 

I'll be there most of the afternoon anyway, let me know when you're coming down.

 

Hey folks! May still stop by J. Ryan's, maybe 8:30-9ish?

 

Nope. Didn't go, too tired. Maybe tonight. Did pick up some Hoptimum, though (thanks Jeremy / Co-op)

 

Dogfish Head 75 min at Galeville's......750 mL bottle for $9.99.....Cheers!!!

 

Sweet! That's about what I was expecting, price-wise, so that's cool.

 

9.59 at the co-op, also just got the Saison de Buff and Weyerbacher Heresy and Insanity.
