Impossibly good beer luck

I vote for threesome all the way !!!

 

I have yet to ride the tricycle. In due time.

 

The wife and I just had our second child. We receive a package mailed to the new child. Upon opening the package discover it's 4 bottles of Pliny the elder! Best baby gift ever

It was during their anniversary sale, as I recall, but I remember feeling particularly fortunate to have walked in at exactly the right moment to try this legendary beer. This is a store I visit maybe every 3 or 4 weeks on average, so the odds were not in my favor.

Fast forward to yesterday. We've just arrived home from a week-long vacation to San Diego earlier in the afternoon, and my wife is craving a spicy Korean soup they make just up the street from Bottleworks - so she sends me out to pick some up. (This is a place a few miles from our house, so it's kind of unusual that she makes such a specific request.) Of course I stop in @ Bottleworks on the way, mostly to see if the 2012 batch of North Coast Old Stock Ale has come in yet. It seems pretty crowded for a Tuesday afternoon, so I glance up @ the tap list and what do I see? Pliny the Younger. I literally do a double-take. So my wife's dinner arrives about 10 minutes later than scheduled; all things considered, she's pretty understanding. As one guy in the store says to me incredulously when I tell him I didn't even know they were tapping PtY when I walked in, "It's like you just won the lottery."

What random, extremely lucky experiences have you had with a limited beer? Have you had repeat random, extremely lucky experiences with the same beer, so much so that it almost felt like destiny?[/quote]
