2017 3-Way

Saw that...mid Columbia wine, right?! They may be worst than TW for old beer.

 

Still a few cases of 3-way left as of 1pm Sunday, for anyone looking.

 

Johns Market has had some damn near every time I step in. Market of Choice on Terwilliger also has plenty. Zupans Macadam also has a bunch. Since moving to SW Portland from NE PDX about a month ago, I've definitely noticed that trendy things will stick around longer over here. Lot more of the older drinking crowd that doesn't keep up on this kind of stuff.

Speaking of trendy stuff, if any of you see the Ex-Novo Elliot with Amarillo/Citra sticker.....grab it and don't think twice. Awesome IPA.

 

I live in Beaverton. I haven't had any problem getting 3-Way out her the past 3 years. I'd like to show you photos of the multiple bags of empty 3-Way cans we've recycled since 2014. (2014 and 2016 were banner years for 3-Way consumption in this household.) This year, for whatever reason, it has been surprisingly scarce in this part of town. Annoyingly scarce, in fact.

Maybe all the good beer people at my local stores have left to find work elsewhere. I'd almost believe that.

 

I mentioned it earlier in this thread but check the grocery stores. Before a camping trip recently I thought I had struck out when I couldn't find any at John's, Uptown, and Zupan's only to come across a ton, on sale for $10.49, at WinCo in Tigard.

 

I've been checking there too. We spotted an early batch at our WinCo in Hillsboro, and also at the Tanasbourne Safeway, but haven't seen any at either location since then. A couple weekends ago I chatted with a WinCo employee in the beer department at Hillsboro, and he thought it was a mistake that they ended up with any 3-Way at all. Apparently they thought they were ordering Overdub. (Which kind of makes sense, since I've never seen any other Fort George seasonals there.)

Whole Foods Tanasbourne had a ridiculous abundance of 3-Way throughout the season last year. This year I only spotted a few 4-packs of the first canning.

Believe me, I will keep my eyes open. But I don't plan to spend much time tracking it down. It's a Fort George seasonal, not a whale.

 

NW Growlers in Sherwood had several 4-packs as of yesterday. Birra Deli in Tualatin has some as well currently.

 

Agreed. Both places have taught me to be pretty anal about dates.

I also checked out the Albertson's on Clearwater. No 3-Way but I managed to find some 2017 Rusty Nail...

 

In years past, Overdub and 3-Way shared the same SKU.

 

Ouch! I stopped going there when they fired Josh.

 

Went crabbing today in girabaldi (tillamook bay) and scored big time - 34 dungeness and 2 rock crab. Dove into a small grocer called the Food Basket to grab ice and they had plenty of 3-way. Nice. Pretty good (but not my favorite 3-way). Side note, My NE haze IPA experience is limited, but I give BS 20 the win. Loved that beer.

 

If anyone is interested the youtube legend (I use this term loosely) gregsbeerreviews just reviewed this beer. He has a Sticky Hands waiting review as well.

 

I'll take sticky hands. Greg doesn't matter

 

Had another 2 7-19 batch tonight. It's the same as before. It has a harsher finish, not as smooth and juicy as the first 2.

 

Back from the beach. Still no 3-way, but I was able to snag a couple rusty nails. Still had 4-5 on the shelf.

 

You hang in the Tri-Cities?

 

I confused Clearwater with Clearview. Terry's fault.

 

Wait! Wut? How? I are so confuse.

 

Had my first peppery bottom can today. Woooooooo

 

Just wanted to blame someone other than myself. It's the thing to do now days.
