    On the Peninsula, Ale Arsenal often gets Alvarado St. cans. Near SARA, Beer Thirty as well.

    In the South Bay, South Winchester BBQ gets Alvarado St. cans, but they are ridiculously expensive. ISO Beers had a couple as well last time I was in there, but didn't check the prices

    Cool thread! I'll try to spread some info when I see the special stuff dropping in the peninsula. Our distribution is kind of shitty, but it's mostly delayed more than anything. There are some awesome honey holes here - I just hit up Palo Alto Fine Wine and Spirits last week and managed to catch some Pliny. I was also blown away by their selection, check them out if you're in Palo Alto.

    I noticed Deschutes and HotD have a new Conflux coming out. It's being released on Oct 20 at Deschutes locations so I'm hoping it'll only be a couple of weeks before we see it here.

    Beercraft in Novato may be the closest, and it's definitely the best....

    I think they also had Navaja yesterday, but it appears to be sold out now.

    San Bruno. But, all WF on the peninsula got flooded with all founders last year. Should be fine.
