San Diego barely gets Alpine (bottles anyway). I doubt there are many, if any, bottle shops in Sacramento with legitimate bottles.
Yeah, it's hard enough to get in SD proper- disappears from bottle shops the same hour its delivered. I just make the drive to the brewery 3x a month at this point. Sometimes Bine and Vine gets enough stock to list it online- that might be your best option.
Thanks for the info. Kind of what I thought. I did buy a bottle of duet 2 summers back at Pangaea (way overpriced of course).
