Hello California BA's. Long story short, I live in Illinois, my sister in law is in Roseville for business. I've asked her to get me some beer that is not available here. What are some realistic requests for me to ask her to get? I found that there is a Total Wine & a Whole Foods near her hotel. Thoughts? Advice? Can she bring it back on the plane?
Final Gravity in Roseville is great. They should be able to help you pick out bottles that you can't get in Il. Wholefoods may have Pliny and Blind Pig.
Thanks for the info. I want to give her some ideas of what to look for, but don't want to send her on a wild goose chase.
Grab some Knee Deep stuff, Simtra and Hoptologist for sure. Maybe some Almanac or Drakes. Track 7 just bottled some of their stuff. See if she can grab a Big Four Ale. They should have it at Final Gravity.
Final Gravity, Total Wine, BevMo and if she's willing to drive Davis Beer Shoppe. If they don't have it you won't likely find it in or near the city. Nugget Market has Heretic if you're looking for their stuff. That's about the only exception.
