Black Butte XXVI

Thanks! I'll have to keep an eye out the next time I head down there.

 

WOW, that IS expensive!
I just bought one in San Antonio for $14

 

I'll happily trade you the upcoming Wisconsin winter that is about to kick our asses for your upcoming California winter. Even if you live in the mountains.

I'll even throw in the next few weeks of fall.

 

Most people in CA only get summer (no clouds) and spring (occasional light sprinkles)

 

Tenuta's in kenosha wi had it like a week ago. Tried it already, def not bad at all and is good to go right out of the bottle at this point. Wish I would've got another one to age though just to compare. As far as the weather out here, fuck this 40 degree bullshit then its 70 the next day.

 

Wasn't able to try the XXV but had XXVI last night and thought it was fantastic. Picked up a couple extras for aging. I've seen them between 12.99-16.99. Sitting on a Not the Stoic but haven't tried it yet...

 

I know. I spent 12 years in San Diego. I love the seasons. But I love San Diego's weather too. Especially From December-March.

 

First batch to hit here was best to drink after May 2015. It went fast and even when I saw it, it was limited. The June 2015 bottles are everywhere now. I have 1 bottle of that, and 2 of the June.

 

It gets good rotation here in Pittsburgh now. The places that try and make it a point to have craft beer usually at least have the standard Deschutes rotation and the Whole Foods is a good try on all the big bottle stuff, even the XXVI here.

 

This is kinda foolish that we lag behind the surrounding states on this issue. It sure would be nice to get Bo & Luke here or BCBS as well as others. I pulled this haul in last night!!!
