    This location (my local) deserves a thread! They have a ton of offerings right now, including 10 Propagator beers, but you've gotta use the order direct link to check out their current offerings.
    They just canned Wookey Jack (Black Rye IPA, 8.3%)! Grabbed a 4-pack yesterday + crowlers of Welcome to LA (West Coast Lager, 5.2%) and Simulacrum (Dark Lager, 5.3%).

    Propagator beers as of today:

    Glüweisse
    Spiced Winter Sour. Tart Berliner Weisse-style ale spiced in the style of German Glüwein with additions of orange zest, clove, cinnamon, allspice, and almond. (Contains almonds). 5.1% ABV

    VVestland Imp Stout
    An Imperial Stout fermented with a Norwegian farmstead yeast strain from the town of Voss in the Vestland (pronounced "Westland") region of Norway. It showcases rich chocolate and malty flavors with subtle dried fruit and orange zest notes. 9% ABV

    Nectaron SHS
    Single Hop Hazy IPA. A hazy IPA featuring Nectaron hops from New Zealand, a new variety with fruit-forward aromatics that will please fans of Mind Haze while also giving it its own unique Southern Hemisphere vibe. 6.5% ABV

    Mango Mind Haze
    A fresh, tropical twist on our hazy IPA, brewed with mango for an even more explosive tropical fruit aroma and smooth body. 6.2% ABV

    Welcome to LA
    West Coast Lager. A laid-back, hoppy golden lager bursting with flavors of orange, mango, kiwi, and melon. Brewed as an homage to our neighborhood and the SoCal way of life. 5.2% ABV

    DDH Gen 1
    WESTSIDE IPA. More of everything you love about Gen-1 with a second dry hop for double the Mosaic and Citra goodness of stone fruit, tropical fruit, and citrus aromas. 7.5% ABV

    Barbe Rouge
    Single Hop IPA. Our newest single hop series beer explores French Barbe Rouge hops, which feature a unique expression of strawberry and cherry candy with underlying notes of orange peel, mint, and basil. 5.6% ABV

    You Can Brew It!
    Imperial Brown Ale. A big, hoppy brown ale with notes of fresh-baked brownies, chocolate orange slices, and pine. Our homage to Mike "Tasty" McDole, who pioneered this style and inspired countless brewers. 7.7% ABV

    Simulacrum

    Dark Lager. A familiar dark lager brewed with caramelized malts and a light balance of German noble hops for a malty profile that is both rich and satisfying, yet approachable and easy-drinking. 5.3% ABV

    WookeyJack

    Black Rye IPA. Our style-defining Black Rye IPA returns for a limited time only from our Propagator Brewhouse. Citra and Amarillo hops lend Wookey a punchy nose of orange, dank, canned peaches, and pine, with a firm bitterness balanced by a judicious touch of dark roasted malts. 8.3% ABV

    Do they ship? Specifically do they ship wookey jack? If so is there an option to have a firefighting air craft just drop it on me while I stand in front of my house with my mouth open?

    They deliver through a bunch of services, but brands are limited and Wookey Jack is limited and a to-go only offering from The Propagator.

    Partly due to your post today Todd I made the 3 hour round trip drive to FW Venice and picked up some of their beery deliciousness. Wish that they were my "local" too, but for now visiting them is a rare treat to me.

    Anyone in the area would do themselves a favor (and help out our local beery establishments) by dropping by and picking up some of FW's great beers, some of which can only be found here and nowhere else.

    Cheers!

    Location issues I can understand, not everyone (including myself) is able to make it to this or their other locations easily. But I don't understand your issue with their prices. They seem to be reasonably priced for what you get, certainly in line with any of the other better craft breweries here in California, and elsewhere for that matter. Can you give an example of why you feel that they may be overpriced? Unless I'm misinterpreting your post, then please forgive me.

    Back in the day I remember Valley Bev accidentally ordering way too many cases of Wookey Jack so they had a sale for like $20 a case. Drank a whole lotta Wookey Jack that summer.

    I begrudgingly ordered 2 4-packs online. I say begrudgingly because $15 shipping is not horrible in of itself - but for what I was ordering, it's a lot. People cleaned them out of Big Mood as soon as the beers went live yesterday morning (I know cuz I looked). Otherwise I'd have sprung for that to try it out.

    Yup. FW confirmed Wookey Jack via IG that it's completely sold out for online sales, with a few still left for local purchase. But they will re-brew in Feb.
