Alpine Brewing Thread

Bottles, no. Draft, yes.

But I do not know how often our bay area buddies get Alpine on draft.

 

Keep an eye at this link for their regular beers with recent updates...

For example, looks like Nelson is on at a couple places. Always call ahead to double check though...

dunno about download LA but some places in DTLA LA have it ;D. Check Taphunter. Quite a few places in the nearby area get it regularly on draft (from greenflash that is)

 

City Beer in SF has Alpine on draft frequently.

 

Cheers for the heads up on taphunter never seen that app before

 

Just to confirm KwH is on tap.

 

Couldn't find this info anywhere, is there a timetable for the next release of Great? Want to trade for one, but don't know if it'd be better to wait. Cheers!

 

Seems like CityBeer has an unlimited supply of Nelson. I swear everytime I'm in there they have it on tap and every other person is ordering it. Including me.

 

I am going to be in San Diego in a couple of weeks (26th -31st), not sure if I am understanding all the comments in this thread properly, but would I be correct in saying that it probably wouldn't even be worth my time to drive out to alpine because all their releases disappear so quickly and even though I will be a couple miles from the brewery I probably can't even find a bottle of their beer on a shelf in a liquor store?

 

Not in the slightest, man. Check the link below, which will show you real-time what's available at the brewery. Pub next door will have draft options (often of stuff they may be out of bottles of). You can pretty consistently count on 1-2 of the big 3 (Nelson, Duet, Pure Hoppiness) to be available in bottles. (You could also check a few of the nearby liquor stores for stuff released in the previous week+).

Don't bother looking for bottles in San Diego, if you'll be there. Waste of time. Just cruise up to Alpine, drink your heart's content at the pub, and grab a few bottles at the brewery next door. Easy peasy.

Cool, thanks for the quick response. Nelson is definitely the one I want to try and at least get a bottle of to smuggle back home with me. Duet and Pure Hoppiness are still good 'consolation' prizes

 

No sweat. IMO, Nelson is the one that seems to move the quickest, and they rotate through the Big 3 so that one is always unavailable in bottles. So, either you get lucky and you arrive on a week when Nelson is in stock, or you just enjoy a pint (or two!) at the pub and then meander over to a few of the nearby liquor stores to see if any rogue bottles are still hanging around (and perhaps leave instead with bottles of PH and Duet). Can't lose either way.

 

Heading down to Alpine tomorrow (from LA) to procure my Kiwi Herman bottles. Are there any bottle shops near the brewery worth stopping at? Thanks in advance.

 

Alpine Liquor (walking distance from the pub/brewery) and Barons Market (in the Town Center) are my main go-to places in Alpine (not for Alpine Beer Company beers, though).

 

Confirmed! Barons is really cool. Huuuuge selection and last time I went there, I picked up a few Supplications (no limit, plenty left), Pugachev Cobras '14 (yeah, I drove from Redlands to Alpine to buy Hangar 24 beer...truth is, I realized I didn't have enough) and some others.

 

Cool--thanks, guys!

 

This batch of Nelson is incredible, so fragrant and juicy.

Cheers,

 

Don't drink it all, finally getting away from work and should be down there around 7:30 or so for a quick couple pints and bottles.

 

ill be there tomorrow when they open. REAAAALLLLY hope kiwi is on

 

Its a pretty cool beer for sure, got my fill on Tuesday, hope you get your fair share.

Cheers,
