    Hey all...

    So my mom and dad are going to be in Portland in a couple weeks. I'm Forcing them, against their wills, to stop in at Belmont Station (this seems like the spot to go?) and grab a few assorted bottles. I like how they have their inventory listed and updated twice a week. They had some collage but it sold out.

    Has anyone seen any collage 1 or 2 sitting anywhere? I would love to score a couple bottles.

    Thanks!

    I've seen Collage 2 recently at a couple places, including my local Whole Foods. It's a pricy bottle.

    The last place I saw Collage 1 was at the BeerMongers vintage bottle sale a few years ago.

    #2 is still all over, I think it's worth the price personally but I get why some don't.

    Collage 2 is still available. Market of Choice on Terwilliger for sure has it.

    Collage 1 is probably impossible to find. Maybe APEX has a bottle to-go for a 275% markup You can drink it on premise at Hair of the Dog, but that doesnt really help you.

    No, but it helps me. I'd love to try that beer again, but I don't want to drink my only remaining bottle.

    Thanks for the tip, man.

    I've seen bottles of #1 at that Market of Choice on Terwilliger in the past, as well as HOTD bottles that are NORMALLY brewery only releases.

    I still have several bottles of #1, so hit me up if you can't find any and we may be able to work something out.

    Market of Choice gets a few HotD releases that I thought were only available at the brewery. I've seen Cherry Adam, Matt and Maja (the Omnipollo collab) at the new MoC on Belmont.

    All three are available at the MofC on Terwilliger as well (or at least they were the last time I was there).

    I'm fairly certain that none of these beers see distribution, as I don't see them any place else other than MofC. In the past, I was always told that MofC has an employee or employees stop by the tasting room to pick up whatever the current take out allotment limit is, which they then sell out of the various stores in town. Assuming that's true, I have to say that I've been pretty impressed by the mark-up they impose. In the case of the Maja for example, I think the MofC price is less than $2 higher than what HOTD charged out of the tasting room. Given what a complete pain in the ass it is to get over to the tasting room these days, my guess is that it's worth it to a lot of people to pay the slight upcharge at MofC.

    Maybe I'm too late here, but a few weeks ago John's Market put up their christmas tree beer display thingy as a "christmas in july" promotion stocked with barrel aged beers. Usually they pull stuff from their cellar so Collage 1 might be on there.

    If that doesn't work I'm pretty sure Apex has a bottle at a mark up.

    Tell them to get a bite to eat while they're there. The food is quite good.

    It's true. Last time I was there I had a pastrami pasty that was the business.
