    If I move, it'll be North or maybe even across the pond. Definitely not South though. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Yeah. I was hoping it would show up on K&L but nothing's been posted yet.

    I made a discovery the other day, though. I was at Ledger's and noticed Murder Inc by Half Moon Bay. I haven't heard favorable things about them but I figured I'd give the bottle a shot since it was only 11.99. I was pleasantly surprised by it. The barrel character isn't strong, but I enjoyed it, especially at that price.

    I also noticed Highwater BA Campfire Stout but it was too expensive for me.

    yea I kinda steer clear of high water, lots of great sounding beer ( and local I think they contract with Devils canyon, atleast they used too) but have always been let down.

    now heretic brewing out of pittsburg is great! although I think try moved to fairfield

    @grilledsquid what city did you move too?

    Half Moon just put in a taproom in downtown Berkeley. I had no idea they were planning on opening one, but I stumbled upon it yesterday and apparently they just opened it up. It's called Pacific Standard:

    It's a pretty cool space and they had a ton of Murder Inc. in their cold case for $10

    Has anyone seen Xocoveza yet? So weird that other states get it weeks before NorCal. I mean, Stone is a CA brewer.....wtf

    Thanks I'll keep my eyes peeled. Last year, it hit for a week or so and then it seemed to disappear completely.

    Judging by how fast it has sold out everywhere, I doubt it. Probably need to show up same day to have any luck.

    50/50. They have a good amount, but it flew last time.

    When I showed up around 7:30 there was quite a bit left and the place was pretty empty. Seems like the rain was keeping people at home... You might have a shot with cans on Wednesday. I hit up The Good Hop and they said that they were getting cans this week. They didn't say when the cans would be available though. If Beer Rev runs out on Wednesday, you might want to give Good Hop a try.

    Thanks. I wish there was a shop closer to me so that I don't miss out on this stuff. Ledger's is on my way home from campus, but the beer guy wasn't sure if he was getting any Alvarado St stuff so I have to find the time to make it out to Oakland just to get these cans. Mass transit is my only option this week too.
