My roommate will be in el Paso Texas for the next month during the week. Any places I should have her go to pick me up some stuff I can't get in va?
Check out these two threads: http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/el-paso-tx-questions.186763/#post-2502030 http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/tucson-el-paso-beer-stores.139566/ Best bets: Spec's Sunland Park, Side Door, and Billy Crews Package Store (last two should also have some NM goodies). seekabrew.com to compare distribution. Anyone feel free to add if I left out any good locations.
Thanks for the threads. I usually don't trust seekabrew...They don't usually have any smaller breweries and a lot of time is out of date. Any chance to get bomb! or any other prairie stuff?
Just depends. Prairie stuff comes in waves. Bomb! hasnt released in a while, but that doesnt mean you couldnt find it on a shelf somewhere. Hell I saw Bible Belt, Wine Barrel Noir and a few others sitting on a shelf around here the other day, and those released quite a while ago. Good luck! Tell her to eat at Chicos Tacos, and drink at the Hoppy Monk.
Where was that at? I'd like to pick up some bible belt at least..Definitely trying to get as much as I can.
Sorry, I wasnt clear - I'm in the Austin area. I was just using that as an example. 8.5 hour drive from El Paso (TX is big!)
I picked up a Bomb! and a Bible Belt last week at Western Beverages on Lee Trevino and Trawood, and there was still plenty of both in the fridge, so you might want to have her try there. And yea I agree with thebigyellowjoint that Spec's, Side Door Liquor, and Billy Crews are your best bet, plus the Western Beverages. Cheers and good luck!
