Bottle Logic (2023)

I think that's Valley Bev in Sherman Oaks.

 

They had like 200000000 of each prolly more


It's Valley Beverage in Sherman Oaks. One of the worst stores in the area .

Warm Beer. Overpriced and did i say everything is Warm

 

If I recall correctly, Deprecophobia and Somniphobia were both limited brewery exclusives with no distribution, so I’d be surprised if those were on a shelf.

 

They actually did get distro . I got both of them near Los Angeles .

 

You sure that wasn't just the shop owner getting the bottles themselves directly at BL? We have a couple shops and restaurants in Ohio that do that with local breweries here, not sure the laws around that in Cali tho.

 

Haha, have to been there in awhile. Close to my work

It's not impossible. Have seen other beers that were member only releases , years ago

 

Yes im 100% sure he got them distrod

Only one case of each and i saw the BL truck drop them off myself.

Didnt even care to drink them. traded them away to some Awesome BAs here

Don't worry, next batch will be double the amount and they will sit in shelves like the others.

 

A few months ago someone said a bottle shop/store in Riverside had some bottles. IDK which one though

 

HIGHLY doubtful on these. These were sleeper libations.

 

Situational Awareness is probably the best BA stout I’ve had from Bottle Logic since Static Momentum. Bummer it was such a limited release.

 

those and FOCOCO sold out FAST

 

Hey everyone! I am passing through the LA area in September and was wondering if someone could recommend a shop to stop at and get some BL that hasnt been sitting out warm on a shelf forever. Dont get them on the East Cost and I was happy with the bottle of FO i tried a few years back and want to give it another shot. Not looking to buy truck loads, just a bottle or two.
I will be crossing though LA over I10 making a straight shot to the PCHW, so something not too far off the trail would be great!

Thanks!

 

They all sit on the shelves unrefrigerated at local shops. FWIW, BL allows same-day pick ups on purchases through their Toast store/online shop if you can visit their taproom.

 

A good spot would be Blackbeard's Craft, which is just off the 10 and usually has bottles in their refrigerated section. Another good spot is near downtown if you don't mind navigating the area, both Ramirez and Buzz. A questionable spot is Z Pizza near the airport, which has bottles in their fridge that have been sitting for years. They haven't been sitting warm on shelves, but they have been sitting. If you can turn north instead of staying on the 10, off the 101 is Handy Market who usually has a great selection.

 

Not entirely true....the shop I know of that keeps them cold is out of the way though!

 

My bad. I shouldve said the bottle shops around my way don’t refrigerate BL BA bottles or any other high ABV beers from other breweries for that matter. Even some sours are on the shelves.

OP might be in luck with FO releasing this weekend if he wants to link up with a proxy for pick up if he wants to skip the bottle shops.
